The developers at the small independent studio Odyssey Interactive are doing something “a little crazy” and releasing an early prototype of their next game, Byte Breakers, to see if people like it and if they should even make it.

Founded in 2020, Odyssey Interactive’s first game, Omega Strikers, took a few years to develop and was released in 2023. However, the game never found an audience and the devs ended support for it in November of last year . Now, they are doing something a bit different with their next game. Byte Breakers is a 4o-player battle-royale spin on platformer fighters. Or to put it another way: It’s like Fortnite x Smash Bros. And this time, Odyssey Interactive wants people to play the game very early so they can decide if this prototype is worth making and supporting.

On September 11 , Odyssey Interactive developers Lunchboy and Maple announced that for the last eight months, the team had been working on various prototypes for their potential next game. And the first one they are going to let the community play around with is Byte Breakers.
