Howdy!
I've updated the demo with some exciting new stuff! All these new changes and additions should help make the game feel more full and provide some variety!
There's now ~70 rooms in the Demo. A random selection of ~30 will be chosen for every run. This should help make different runs feel more unique! I've more planned more planned of course, but all in good time.
I also added some new "verification" minigames that you'll randomly find in the game. This will be another chance to make some extra cash to make it to the end. I might change how these are encountered in the future, but for now you'll just encounter them randomly when going between rooms. At first I was trying to riff off those "prove you're human" interactive things websites make you do, but they pretty much just turned into weird wario-ware minigames haha.
There's also a new Module Builder mode you can play inbetween runs. This is a chance to have some downtime between all the action and to prepare for future runs by building Modules. This is probably the most exciting change, I think it really helps with the pacing. This is another thing I'm looking forward to expanding in the future.
I'm cutting off the Demo for now after you beat the first boss in World 1, if you wanna check out the rest of the game I'm doing Early Access builds through my Patreon. I'd say the demo roughly covers a little less than half of the content in the game? If you'd like to support development and check out some stuff early please consider becoming a Patron today! 💖🤠

There's plenty of other new stuff in the demo I haven't mentioned here, so please see for yourself! I think the game is growing rather quickly and is already way better than what I had for Next Fest. I'm excited to keep workin' on the game and to see where it goes!
Anyways, thanks for playing!
