Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“For those worried about game performance on their computers, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE DEMO FIRST. I am a single developer and only have three machines for testing. The best way to see if the game will run on your system is to try the demo. If the demo plays well, the rest of the game should play well.

Even though Badminton Warrior is mainly complete, it is starting as an early access title for several reasons. The most important is that I want to receive feedback on the game in terms of design, difficulty, possible achievements, points of frustration, and what players like most about it. Constructive suggestions are always welcome because my hope is to make the game as good as possible for final release.

In addition to this, I would also like to get input on how Badminton Warrior runs on different systems. As stated before, I only have three computers that I can test it on at the moment. I have already found variations in how each handles the game, so it would be nice to have a wider sampling from multiple systems.

Finally, although I have play tested the game extensively, there are always bugs that pop up here and there that I can address before doing an official release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At the moment, the game has a planned release schedule of Summer 2019. This date may change based on how long it takes to fix bugs and implement improvements suggested by the community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current version does not have achievements built in, an end credit sequence, different playable characters, or any special power ups. Depending on the input of early access players, some of these will be added to the game. I have to see what is most important to the community. Because the early access version will be updated periodically, the full version should be the same as the final early access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All the level designs, enemies, and bosses are complete. A player can play through the whole game from beginning to end without a problem. There are sixteen levels total. There is also a tutorial level that the player can play through to learn the game. The stage select screen and menus are also complete. All the cutscenes are finished with the exception of the end title sequence. Audio levels can be set and the screen can be resized to whatever dimensions the player wants. For more information, please refer to the "About This" section as all the features listed have already been implemented.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Currently there is no plan to increase or decrease the normal retail price of this title before or after release. The title may be put on sale, though.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“For those who purchase the full early access game, I look forward to hearing their feedback and suggestions. If anybody comes up with a cool level idea, enemy, or boss, I will implement it if possible. Similarly, I will remove things if a large enough group finds certain aspects of the game too frustrating. I also plan to run contests where players can submit fan artwork that may be used in the game or on the store page. Because I am a single developer, the final credit sequence is pretty barren as of now. I may include some of the early access players into the credits if I feel they really put in a lot of effort towards making the game a success.”

Chinese New Year Edition

Happy Chinese New Year Everybody...!

...or will it be? Someone has kidnapped the parade performers and replaced them with evil imposters. Only one kind of warrior can save the celebration now... a badminton warrior!

I am proud to announce Badminton Warrior Chinese New Year Edition. This version contains a completely new stage with firecrackers, red lanterns, dragons, and more. Enemies have been redesigned with a Chinese New Year theme to them plus an additional enemy type was created just for this level. Of course, there is also a brand new boss battle at the end with a funny twist.

Celebrate the holidays by smacking projectiles at opponents, testing your skill against new obstacles, and experiencing a lighthearted story that will put a smile on your face. I hope you enjoy this new edition!

(The Chinese New Year Edition includes the original game that has sixteen levels plus a tutorial stage.)

About This Game


One fine morning, Ral, Mindy, AJ, and Jing go to play badminton when an evil being appears and kidnaps Mindy. Things seem pretty grim until a mysterious, old man named Lao Pi materializes and offers Ral an enchanted badminton racquet. He explains that the racquet can deflect any attack back at an enemy but cannot do direct damage by itself. Determined to rescue his friend, Ral embarks on a journey which will take him from the clouds in the sky to the depths of Hades.

Navigate through intense, heart pounding traps and obstacles. Discover new and interesting ways to defeat your enemies. Meet a crazy cast of characters including a hockey player who thinks he is a god, a lacrosse player running an insane asylum, and a basketball player who turns his trophy into an actual wife. Experience a storyline that pokes fun of sports figures, video games, and pop culture in general. Most importantly, become the greatest warrior of all time... a badminton warrior!



  • 2D action platforming with a unique game mechanic. You can clear, drive, and smash projectiles at your enemies, but your racquet cannot harm anything by itself.

  • Simple controls (just a swing and a jump button).

  • Traps and puzzles that require quick thinking and reflexes to overcome.

  • Sports themed levels with a variety of oddball enemies.

  • Some games claim to have "Awesome" gameplay. This game has "Awesomer" gameplay. Seriously, there is a character named Awesomer in the game.

  • Stage select screen that lets you decide in what order you want to play them.

  • 8 bit style music and sound effects.

  • An unapologetic sense of humor.

  • Non-epic bosses. Just kidding. Wanted to make sure you were still paying attention. (The boss battles can be hard but are enjoyable and rewarding as well.)
