Final(?) demo updates!

Hi all,

Thanks to all 350 of you who have played the Steam demo and 950 who wishlisted the full game! My bug fixing and polishing thus far has been fueled by the kind comments both here, in the reviews, on the Discord, and in the feedback form, so thank you to those of you who used those.

For now I've reached the point where I'll be leaving the demo as-is (besides fixing reported bugs), and I expect to just be working on the full game. I've provided a list of patch notes below, mostly aimed at fixing bugs, controller support, more intuitive controls, and visual changes. If you continue to come across any issues please do report using the Discord or the feedback form, since... finding bugs is hard!!

If you'd like to see more about this game, consider following on socials! X/Twitter, Bluesky

Cheers.
