This version is an early build focused on showcasing the game’s core fun, a vertical slice, and some quality-of-life improvements. That means it may feel a bit rough or incomplete in places.

We kindly ask for your patience! In the upcoming demo release, we’ll be making many improvements and presenting a much more polished experience. And for that, your feedback is truly invaluable.

Thank you so much for playing our game—we’ll be back with the next update!
