Varför Early Access?

“We launched Early Access to optimize the arcade rhythm game series Pump It Up for PC platforms.
PUMP IT UP RISE focuses on adapting classic arcade step charts for hand controls, and this phase allows us to refine input handling across various devices such as keyboard, gamepad, and Steam Deck based on user feedback.”

Ungefär hur länge kommer det här spelet att vara i Early Access?

“We currently expect the Early Access period to last around six months.
During this time, our main focus is on improving the user experience and enhancing overall content polish.
We aim to ensure a stable and enjoyable gameplay environment through thorough testing and adjustments before the full release.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“The full version is being developed with the goal of expanding content volume and improving usability features, including additional songs and quality-of-life enhancements.
While Early Access delivers the core gameplay systems and structure, we are prioritizing stability and refinement as we move toward launch.
Even in its current state, players can enjoy the key game modes and a substantial song list. The full version is planned to build upon this foundation with additional improvements.”

“The current Early Access version includes over 200 songs and three main modes—WARM UP, DIVISION, and CHALLENGE—offering a variety of rhythm gameplay experiences.
Players can freely use their preferred input devices, such as keyboard, gamepad, or Steam Deck. Song selection and difficulty settings are designed for intuitive use.
The core UI and systems are functioning reliably, and ongoing”
