∆V (Delta V)
∆V (Delta V) is a minimalist precision skill game where energy is everything.
Life. Resource. Score.
Phase Beta: Signal Rising
Cycle ID: 26xΔV-08
The first public beta of ∆V is live.
Looking for honest beta feedback from players who enjoy precision skill games.
∆V is built around movement, momentum, and readable failure.
There are no extra lives, no upgrades, and no grind.
Progress comes from cleaner movement, better decisions, and learning how the Grid actually works.
Every action costs energy.
Every route has pressure.
Every collapse has a cause.
If ∆V works, it should feel demanding, clear, and earned.

✦ What ∆V is built on
• Physics-driven movement with real inertia
• Energy as life, resource, and score
• Fair failure — every collapse should make sense
• Stats as reflection, not judgment
• Mechs as logic. Aliens as systems.
• Levels built around routes, pressure, and control
✦ Current Beta
This is not a content-complete release.
The current beta is focused on testing the core of the game:
• movement feel
• energy clarity
• difficulty balance
• collapse readability
At the moment, around 100 of the planned 400 levels are playable.
The core systems are in place, but balancing and polish are still ongoing.
If you enjoy learning difficult systems and improving through repetition, ∆V may be for you.
◍ Feedback
If you try the beta, honest feedback helps a lot.
I’m especially interested in:
• what feels good
• what feels unclear
• what feels unfair
• where the game becomes frustrating for the wrong reasons
• and of course any bugs or technical issues

✦ Development note:
∆V was created with AI-assisted support in parts of coding and some written devlog / marketing text. As a solo developer building a first game, I used it mainly as a tool to learn faster and move through technical roadblocks.
The game’s core idea, design, systems, visual direction, vocabulary, and overall feel come from me and weren’t touched by AI.
∆
No Lives.
No Mercy.
Just Skill.
