After what has felt like a really long time and a heck of a lot of hard work by our amazing team it’s finally time. But we can’t wait until 4th November to share our brand new platformer with everyone so we just had to bring back our Trials demo for our community.
They’ve been such a huge part of developing the game in showing us the insane speed runs they can put together so we decided to put our money where our mouth is and offer free copies of Demon Turf to those who can hold onto the top spots on the leaderboard in each of our new challenges”
