Demo Update #2

We've prepared this update ahead of Steam Next Fest, focusing on player feedback, new progression systems, and overall polish.

The first level is now fully playable from start to finish

Explore the complete level experience, discover hidden stars, complete quests, and progress further than ever before in the demo.

To help players experience more of the game's systems during Steam Next Fest, some progression values have been adjusted specifically for the demo.

Highlights

  • Master the new Lightning Force Push ability

  • Slam into enemies with the Jump Hook

  • Expanded Skill Trees & Path Nodes

  • Lightning Force Skill Tree Expansion

  • Quest System now available

  • New Star Progression mechanics

  • Major Performance Optimizations

  • New Zapper Blessing

  • Improved lighting and visuals in the first level

  • Combine three Skill Trees to create unique hybrid builds

Lightning Force Push

The Lightning Force ability has been expanded with a powerful force push attack. Launch groups of enemies away, create breathing room during intense fights, and use the environment itself as a weapon.

Jump Hook

Jump Hooks now appear randomly throughout the environment, offering new opportunities for both mobility and combat.

Launch yourself through the battlefield and crash into groups of enemies with a powerful impact, sending nearby foes flying in all directions. Steam post image

Quests & Star Progression

We've added the first version of our Quest System alongside Star Progression. Complete objectives and find stars during your runs to earn progression and unlock new levels.

Expanded Skill Trees

A third Skill Tree is now available in the demo, giving players access to even more progression paths and build possibilities. We're excited to see the crazy synergies players discover.

Visual, Audio & Performance Improvements

  • First level lighting has been significantly improved

  • Shield visual effects and audio feedback have been enhanced

  • Background music has been updated

  • A large optimization pass has been completed to improve framerate stability and overall performance during intense battles
