What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is a developing project.
I want to test the game mechanic, difficulty, and enjoyability to prove the potential and receive feedback. Your feedback is valuable to me.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About six months or more.”

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

“The later version will add more stages, bosses, stories, and gameplay.
There are about four stages in this game. (Escape, jungle, underwater, base)
The enemies and bosses are almost finished. Most of them are not included in this version.
I will add more weapons and more content in the future.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“I launch this play-testing version to receive feedback about gameplay and core mechanic.

Story
A female sci-fi assassin awakened by an attack from a group of armies of unknown forces. She doesn't know who and where she is. She wants to discover what happens.

Objective
Escape from the base

Features:
- Genre: 2D Platformer, shooting in bullet hell style with hack and slash.
- Theme: Sci-fi

Player
- Ninja or assassin-like combat system, but use a gun instead of throwing weapons.
- Close and range attack: Player can either shoot with a gun or attack the enemy with a sword.
- The Player fires inaccurately. They spread, but I intended it to be.
- Close combat with the sword has more damage than using a gun.
- Take cover: Players can hide behind objects, such as crates, walls, or bodies.
- Climbing: Player can climb the wall
- Tutorial system: The game has a tutorial system of basic movement.

Enemies
Very complex behavior. Some of the enemies' responses will make you surprise.
The enemy fires inaccurately—more likely bullet hell. Bullets will spread, but I intended it to be. The Player has to evade them or take cover.
The Player can sneak attack from behind or above or simply shoot them.
Close combat can behead them and cut their body or a limb.
Blood spreads and gores when they're attacked. Moan and groan when they hurt or die, but you can turn it off.
The enemies' bodies after death do not disappear. The bodies are still there. The Player can take cover behind their bodies.

A 10-20 minute gameplay.”

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

“This version of the game tests the gameplay. So it is free, but for a price after the full version release.”

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

“After you play this play-testing version, your feedback is appreciated. I want to create fun and excellent gameplay. Whether it is good or bad, easy or difficult, please let me know.

If any suggestions or feedback, please email me.
