The official Star Birds demo gives you a sneak-peek into the gameplay and campaign that awaits you in the Early Access release of the game launching later this year.
It features the first two campaign levels, and infinitely replayable and procedurally generated bonus Expedition Level where you can hone and further develop your sklills on your own.
By playing this level you'll get a glimpse of more content and complexity awaiting you in the release version.

As an indie team we see the demo as a great chance to receive first hand player feedback from you!
