[Early Access] 2DOM!

2DOM! is a Chill 2D sidescroller physics-based chain reaction puzzle game featuring dominoes!

Why Early Access?

The core of the game is done, but more time is needed for quality of life improvements, content, and since this game is currently being built in my free time, I want to provide players the option to help build it with me over time. As a solo indie developer who dreams of working on games full time, I am unable in today's job climate. 2DOM! is me putting my own foot in the door!

How long in Early Access?

My goal is 6 months for the polished game to launch (if we continue at this rate), with a full campaign of levels, a more streamlined way to share levels publicly, and (my favorite part) the ability to customize most colors in a level, allowing you to create themes and upload them with your custom levels!

If the game is profitable early on, that may result in me converting to part-time or full-time, meaning faster updates and more content!

What's currently available?

Players have access to a puzzle level editor which you can use to build, test, save and load your levels. The soundtrack for the game is already included, featuring a mix of LoFi tracks with inspirations from Japanese music and game melodies, or that vibed or sounded interesting. There are also some standard settings available such as sound volumes.

Also, level saves are BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE! If you make a level with this version of the game, you can still play it at, or after, full launch!

Will things break between versions?

Level saves are designed to be compatible for all versions. Major systems won't visibly change, but will be reworked. You may encounter bugs at any point in development, but I despise bugs and make them my priority.

What's planned for release?

Most major systems are complete, what's left is content, testing, and polish:

• A full Campaign
• Custom Levels
• Themes
• Jukebox
• Map Panning/Zooming
• Gamemodes
• Line Tool
• Mobile controls
• Localization
• Your suggestions!

Maybe (but not a priority):

• Achievements
• Gamepad support

What about DLC?

3 free post-release content updates are planned which will add more spawnables, more campaign branches. and new mechanics!

In no particular release order:

• Gravity: Gravity zones, planets, and black holes
• Control: Buttons, doors, wires, and logic gates
• Void: Portals (yeah, those portals), kill zone, and void zones

If the game is successful, more updates may be planned!

What platforms will it be on?

• Linux: As soon as someone helps test a build
  
• Mac: As soon as someone helps test a build and I figure out the xcode pipeline
• Itch: Early Access
• Steam: Early Access
• Epic: Maybe Early Access, otherwise Launch
• Google Play: Launch
• IOS: Maybe Launch or Post-Release, but no promises

What's the price, and will it change?

Early Access price is $4.99, with the launch price being set at $6.99. Mobile price may vary, and may include less features. I want as many people to play this game as possible and provide crucial feedback while also working towards becoming self-sufficient, so I want a price where both of us are happy.

Where can I give feedback?

• On whichever platform you bought the game (I plan on leaving this an open communication)
• Oka's Games Discord

Anything else?

My goal is to become a full-time game dev. If the launch is unsuccessful, my backup plan is to work on another project using everything I learn from the launch of this one.

What probably won't be included:

• Console ports
• Multiplayer support
• Records and challenges (but if you want to speedrun the game, by all means)
