changedJune 1, 2026 β€” The demo gets its Steam pageOn Monday June 1, the KOOO TO JUMP! Free Demo gets its own Steam store page. No download yet β€” but the demo gets its own home, its own wishlist button, and a clean link to share with friends. Everything we show off in the two weeks after that lives on this page. The platformer where your dignity dies before your character does β€” now with its own real estate.
changedJune 15, 2026 β€” Playable at Steam Next FestTwo weeks later, on Monday June 15 at 8:00 PM GMT+3 β€” exactly when Steam Next Fest opens β€” the demo goes live and you can finally launch yourself off a virtual cliff with your own voice. The demo is free for the whole Next Fest week , and yes, it ships with full gamepad support for everyone whose dignity (or roommate situation) won't allow public squawking.
changedWhat's in the free demo19 camera zones of pure pain β€” a hand-crafted opening slice of the full game's interconnected, foddian-style map. No traditional levels β€” just one continuous climb.
changedWhat's in the free demoVoice control with the 5-level "KOOOOO" sustained charge β€” you don't need to scream louder, just longer. Belt one out, ride it through 5 distinct jump strength levels, and pray.
changedHow to help before the demo landsThe single most useful thing you can do right now is a wishlist β€” Steam's algorithm watches wishlist momentum going into Next Fest more than almost anything else, so one click genuinely helps the coop. And if you want a peek behind the curtain β€” or just somewhere to share your worst rooster impressions β€” join our Discord server . Build feedback, behind-the-scenes peeks, and Next Fest live moments all happen there.

On Monday June 1, the KOOO TO JUMP! Free Demo gets its own Steam store page. No download yet β€” but the demo gets its own home, its own wishlist button, and a clean link to share with friends. Everything we show off in the two weeks after that lives on this page. The platformer where your dignity dies before your character does β€” now with its own real estate.

June 15, 2026 β€” Playable at Steam Next Fest

Two weeks later, on Monday June 15 at 8:00 PM GMT+3 β€” exactly when Steam Next Fest opens β€” the demo goes live and you can finally launch yourself off a virtual cliff with your own voice. The demo is free for the whole Next Fest week, and yes, it ships with full gamepad support for everyone whose dignity (or roommate situation) won't allow public squawking.

What's in the free demo

A trial-size slice of the full game β€” designed to fall in love with, fall on your face in, and decide whether your neighbors deserve what's coming next:

  • 19 camera zones of pure pain β€” a hand-crafted opening slice of the full game's interconnected, foddian-style map. No traditional levels β€” just one continuous climb.

  • Voice control with the 5-level "KOOOOO" sustained charge β€” you don't need to scream louder, just longer. Belt one out, ride it through 5 distinct jump strength levels, and pray.

  • Gamepad support β€” the same brutally precise platforming, minus the barnyard vocals. Switch between dignity and absolute shamelessness at will.

  • Practice Mode with strategically-placed checkpoints through all 19 zones, so you can learn the layout before attempting a clean run.

How to help before the demo lands

The single most useful thing you can do right now is a wishlist β€” Steam's algorithm watches wishlist momentum going into Next Fest more than almost anything else, so one click genuinely helps the coop. And if you want a peek behind the curtain β€” or just somewhere to share your worst rooster impressions β€” join our Discord server. Build feedback, behind-the-scenes peeks, and Next Fest live moments all happen there.

The demo is just the beginning. The full game has all 60 camera zones, 27 deranged achievements, and the global leaderboards where the world will see who the real chicken is.

Mark the calendar. Two dates, one demo, one Steam Next Fest. See you in the coop. πŸ”
