[p]Strik-9 is participating online in our biggest event of the year so far - Gamescom 2025! As part of our entry, we're updating the demo with four new features, including fresh songs and stages, shrines, ally skill trees and Weaving - a whole new way to follow the beat.

Read on to see how rhythm is evolving with our latest updates.

1. World Map, New Songs, New Stages[/p][p]Conquer unique challenges across a world map. Play 3 different stages, each with its own 3 unique levels and environments that welcomes creativity in swapping Strik's moves and party comp. Finish each stage once and unlock "Stage Plus"! What's that you say? We'll leave that one for you to discover. ;)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]2. ✨✨ Shrine Brighter ✨✨[/p][p]Power up your DA-Moves with Shrines scattered across the maps. Shrines provide bonuses that amp up Strik's DA-Moves, and lets you take on the hordes with reckless abandon![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]3. Weave and Own the Rhythm[/p][p]Nail that perfect hit and you’ll unlock an exciting window of opportunity. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Weaving is a new mechanic that lets you add a beat with an extra button press, effectively letting you remix in the midst of battle! Need that extra punch? Weave through![/p][p]

[/p][p][/p][p]4. Allies Grow With You
You think Muff and co will just loaf around and let Strik take the spotlight? Each ally now has their own Skill Tree, visualized as a stylish vinyl disc. Unlock unique buffs, personalize your playstyle, and spin up the perfect team.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's it! Catch our live demo, join our communities in Discord and Steam!
