What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hi! We met Kev Kev and had a spontaneous idea: Let's make a game together. That means a lot of work, and that's what we're doing right now. We've come a long way already but still have more great ideas we want to implement. A fun part of the game is ready, and we don't want to keep it from you. That's why we decided to go into Early Access and present the game as it is now. We're having a lot of fun with it and want to see what it can become.

We're new to the business and don't want to launch with unrealistic expectations. We want to take it slowly, step by step. And since we like to give creative impulses the necessary space even in the middle of development, an Early Access launch is the best thing for us. This way, we have the time to take creative detours.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We can't say exactly. A small team with big ideas means a lot of work. We're at the beginning of the project, and the biggest ideas are still ahead of us. We plan to add a new mode and an additional functionality to the game. The new mode will be quicker to realize and should be ready earlier. We estimate that we will integrate it next year (2025) for our 10th anniversary. We can't give a timeline for the new functionality yet, but we'll keep you updated.”

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

“We plan for the full version to include an additional game mode and introduce new functionality.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the Early Access version includes a fully functional multiplayer mode, both local and online, supporting 1-4 players. You can also play alone against AI bots. Players can enjoy five different levels and choose from eight unique character models. The game offers full gamepad and keyboard support. There will be more content in the future, and we'll shape the game around players' feedback. While we strive for stability, please note that bugs and missing features may still be present.”

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

“We expect the full version to be more expensive than the Early Access version. It's also possible that the price will increase during the Early Access phase as more functionalities are implemented. However, we don't have exact pricing plans yet. We take game development very seriously and have great people with a lot of expertise around us to help with the upcoming steps.”

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

“We use our own forum to gather feedback on the game and share ideas. It's an open channel where everyone can participate. We share updates on progress, conduct surveys, and announce playtests involving the community.”

About This Game

KNOCK 'EM OUT!

Lovingly smack your loved ones and stylishly throw them into various things! As Backyard Beans, you meet where it hurts and joyfully brawl through your circle of friends.

COOPERATIVE BRAWLING

True to the motto "together against each other," you meet in the backyards of the Rocket Beans universe and briefly settle in this brawler who is right and why. Talking is silver, silence is gold. Hitting is Epic Legendary Mystic Platinum.














ALL OR NOTHING – NOT SO EASY ACCESS

Backyard Beans is in Early Access and hopefully shows you what the foundation for the game's further development could look like. We have our own wish and feature list, but we are very excited about your support and feedback. Of course, we would be happy about many sold versions – they would allow us to adapt the development time and financial basis more structured and better to everyday realities. We believe in being able to build more backyards with other modes that can offer you and your friends great places to hang out and "brawl" digitally. To do this well, your wishes and suggestions for improvement are very important to us.

INTERESTED IN THE BEAN – A KEV x ROCKET BEANS GAME

Backyard Beans is a long-held wish and still in development. We love games and love that people develop games. This project has come to this Early Access version through Kev without financial investment – he has invested a lot of time, talent, and heart. He has built this game over and over again in between. A long time ago, we had the idea to develop our own "The Beef" game: a cool brawler from the Rocket Beans universe that could ideally convey "the feeling of Beef". Among many other ideas, castles in the air, and attempts, Backyard Beans came out – the first step towards game development with talented devs like Kev.

PRAISE IS LIKE A MEDKIT

This is a heartfelt project. Feel free to leave criticism. Please be mindful of your tone, we would like to continue developing Backyard Beans with as much motivation and support as possible. Thank you!
