It seems like you enjoyed the Free FriendOS Demo, so we're giving you more Free Stuff in the Free FriendOS Demo for Free (It's Free)
Wowee the response to FriendOS Demo has been crazy. Almost 4000 unique Friends have grabbed the demo (and about 2500 of those people actually Engaged with the Video Game for an Extended Period), which turned into over 3000 new wishlists??? Yay
We're sitting at Very Positive with over 140 reviews, so maybe we did something right. But thanks to the wonderful Feedback Form and the scary Bug Report Form, you've all given us some Feedback and Mistakes to Apply to the Video Game. Rather than wait for the Early Access launch, we decided to just make the demo even better!
