Hey, it’s Dominik again - the solo dev behind Arms of God.
This latest update is a big batch of improvements and tweaks, with a strong focus on accessibility and overall polish (including one of the most requested features: full key remapping).
Huge thanks for all your suggestions and bug reports (Discord + Steam forum) - they help a lot, especially now that Steam Next Fest is getting really close. Before SNF hits, I want the demo to feel as polished as possible and - most importantly - fun for everyone who discovers it during the event.
Also: I’ve got a little surprise for those of you who already played the demo. For Steam Next Fest only, I’m adding something that should make you want to jump back in and lose a few more hours :)
More details soon - but feel free to guess in the comments under this post!
