FINALLY!
THE METAL HEADS ALPHA DEMO IS OUT! WOOHOO! :D
The alpha demo currently is an offline demo and contains just 6 mini-games, however I intend to add more over time to give you something new to play every now and then.
I have been working 16+ hour days for the last 3-4 weeks to make this happen. I missed my end of year deadline, but it was worth the extra wait, there are less bugs, the performance optimization I did in that time now means your computer won't explode in a firey mess, and the overall experience should be a nice and smooth one.
There are still some bugs present, mostly they are pretty minor, however it still bothers me that they exist.
If you run into any issues, please head over to the discussion forums below to report any issues and I will do my best to resolve them immediately as I don't want anybody missing out on the fun! (The more details you can provide, the better)

Things to note are:
- Xbox one and PS4 controllers have been tested both plugged in and wirelessly and they work. However Nintendo switch controllers I have only tested using a bluetooth adapter called the 8bitdo. Nintendo switch controller support on windows is still very sketchy and will only work with XInput enabled in some games, and even then, it's still not that great, so if you wish to use a switch pro controller, do it via bluetooth.
There is a guide here on how to get them working with Steam and Windows 10:

- If you wish to help out in any way, feel free to try and break the game and tell me in the forums the steps you took to make the problems occur.
It will only ensure that there will be less problems when the full game launches.
- It is being made by one person, I have to re-iterate, and I do have a day job, so I may not be able to get onto fixing issues immediately or responding immediately.
I will be keeping a very close eye on the forums to ensure that nobody is left with problems unattended.
I want to thank you all for your wishlists, every time I even see 1 extra wishlist, I get super excited and happy! Just the thought of any single individual person wanting to play my game just makes this all so very worth it, and I cannot thank you guys enough for that support, you're bloody awesome!
Please feel free to discuss ideas in the forums, there is a dedicated forum for this, and I encourage you to speak up and share ideas with one another, no matter how stupid or crazy they may seem, even if I don't like the ideas, that doesn't mean that they won't spark other ideas in my head, so have some fun, and lets help give this game a happy and fun community :)
THANK YOU MY FELLOW METAL HEADS! YOU ROCK!
