What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core gameplay systems are already in place at this stage. As we continue to add new playable characters and skills, we would like to incorporate player feedback into the development process and use it to improve the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately six months. We plan to conclude the Early Access period in February 2027.”

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

“We plan to add a “Skill Modifier” system that allows players to modify the effects of their skills.
Along with the addition of Skill Modifiers, we will adjust the game’s difficulty and increase the number of Waves.
We also plan to add new playable characters, new skills, new enemies, and other content.
During Early Access, we will further expand the overall gameplay experience, build diversity, and available content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, you can choose one character from multiple playable characters. You manipulate the puzzle board, defeat enemies, and clear waves. Between waves, you can acquire skills from the shop and create your own unique build.”

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

“Yes. We plan to increase the price when the game leaves Early Access.”

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

“We will use player reviews and other feedback to improve the game, including adjustments to game balance and content.
We will primarily gather feedback through Steam Reviews and Steam’s Community features, and use that feedback to guide our development.”
