Axe Ghost is a tiny turn-based tactics game, and the new demo takes an unconventional approach, presenting the majority of it - the core loop. You start a run, take on the horde, beat the boss and win - or die trying. The demo lets enthusiasts dive deep. Tomasz explains:

"I'm excited to see the plays people come up with, how far they can push it. And those who don't love it can move on painlessly, no hard feelings!
​​
​I think this approach will help Axe Ghost to find its true audience - players who'll dive into daily challenges, chase high scores through quests, and battle for leaderboard supremacy in the full version."

At the end of office hours today (CET) I'll take down the current Axe Ghost demo. Grab it now if you've been meaning to! During the coming weeks it'll be replaced by a new version in advance of October's Next Fest. (5crownik007 has the current top score with 2,900!)
