Mission Objective: Beta
[h3]Welcome back, Mech pilots![/h3][p]We’re getting close to releasing a Steam demo, but before that we are opening a beta demo on itch.io to gather feedback and run broader hardware testing.[/p][p]If you’ve been curious about the game or waiting to see how everything fits together, then this beta is meant to give you a solid feel for the full experience.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()

[/p][h3]Your feedback matters[/h3][p]Player feedback has already shaped Drop Command in big ways. Since the alpha demo, we’ve added: colourblind accessibility options, 360° turret rotation for tanks, and improved infantry survivability. [/p][p]If you played the earlier alpha demo, this beta goes well beyond the Hot Drop combat sandbox, introducing the campaign structure and progression that were missing before.[/p][p]We’re especially interested in feedback on campaign clarity and whether the early progression feels motivating. This is still a small-team project, and early feedback helps us decide what to focus on next.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][h3]Steam demo coming soon[/h3][p]A Steam demo is coming soon, once this beta phase helps us iron out issues and polish the experience.[/p][p]If you want to help shape what comes next, or just want an early look, please give the beta demo a try today: \[https://pillbuggames.itch.io/drop-command].[/p][p]![]()
