- added more variance to repetitive sound effects

Thank you so much for following along with the development of Upstream so far. We are so incredibly excited to share our first Official Demo build of the game! The demo features two areas out of the seven that will be present in the full game. It also features a fully functional leaderboard to keep track of best times, and its own set of Steam Achievements for you to collect!

We have been working so hard the last month to get this demo polished to share with you all, and we can’t wait to see that leaderboard start to fill up.

Please give it a try, and share it with your friends! Do you think you will make it to the leaderboard?

Stay tuned for more updates!
Thanks for playing,

Thank you for following along with the development of Upstream!

It’s been so fun to work on our first commercial project and see it slowly come to fruition. We’ve published a short playtest in the hopes of garnering some feedback on the gameplay. After playing it, please make sure to fill out the feedback form (linked in game on the intro screen and in the pause menu). We would really appreciate it!

Below are a few notes on the playtest.

• This is NOT a demo and thus the game is missing music, narration, among other things and is not finished.
  
• Please fill out the feedback form linked in game during/after playing (there are some questions that require having the game open still). This is how we improve.
  
• Hit TAB to toggle a helpful overlay. Keep in mind the final game will NOT have this (at least not in the main game).
  
• Hit ESCAPE to toggle the pause menu.
  

Thank you!
