Those of you with keen eyes might notice a puzzling moment in this trailer… one that leads to a demo secret perhaps?




We’ve adjusted several aspects based on feedback that some areas felt unfair. The miniboss encounters received the most changes, including removing one miniboss that wasn’t a good fit for new players checking out a demo.

Whether you find the demo easy, hard, or just right, we appreciate you keeping that feedback coming! There are so many types of players in this game genre, and we want to know what kind you are!

Also, if your feedback doesn’t make it into a demo update, we still heard you! Some topics require us to consider the final game and all its features and content. And some are ingrained in what makes our game different. We’re taking all of this into account as we finish the game. Thanks for being here with us!


[h2]Happy Halloween! We'll BOO seeing you soon! 👻🦇🍄🐺🎻[/h2]
