What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“That way players can help make this game better by providing feedback, and get instant updates via Steam client, which is super convenient.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until it is done.”

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

“- improved visuals of the environment
- more content - enemies, weapon mods, items
- story in some form
- meta game - unlocks
- better balance
- polish
- steam stuff - achievements, trading cards, cloud saves”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Beta - all systems are in place, not a lot of bugs, it is playable and core mechanics and interactions are there.
All weapons are implemented, plenty of different enemies, weapon mods, items.”

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

“Full release will be priced higher.”

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

“I listen to feedback and ideas from players and interpret it carefully, and then improve my game! And then I do it again.

Game already been available prior to Steam release, see non-steam forum to see Fancy Skull's updates history, and examples of player-developer interaction.”

About This Game

Fancy Skulls is a challenging first person shooter with procedural generation, permanent death and distinct art style.
Intense and tactical combat, unique weapon mods and items that change the way you play.


Foes different not only in visual design but also in their behavior. For example there is an enemy that will teleport every time you hit it, or enemy that leaves bombs that home on you, but you can shoot those bombs to use them against it.



Usable items and power ups, like friendly sentry, an eye that lets you transmute items, kite that lets you fly, matchbox that ignites all foes around you, and much more!


Each weapon is different from another, and every weapon can be modded with options that provide interesting game experiences like "walk backwards to get ammo", "12 hits with no misses give you money", "last two bullets in a magazine do double damage", "don't spend ammo while in the air", "shoot lightning bolts with shotgun".
