Original postDear folks,
I just uploaded the final version of the demo.
Most levels in that demo are different from the previous version, so make sure to give it a try!Since every level has been through a rework, I had to reset the save file.
However, the progression you unlock starting from now, will be carried over to the full version of the game!Steam doesn't allow for achievements to be unlocked from a demo, but don't worry, your achievements are saved under the hood, and you'll unlock all those you achieved as soon as you launch the full version.
Oh, by the way, have you seen the new trailer?
I am very excited to hear your feedback.

Therefore the other interlude levels have been moved, respectively after level 10 and level 20.If you already beaten the game, simply play the level 30 again to discover this new scenario.
I also moved the background position in many levels, resulting in a better readability.
