Demo release!


Hello there! It's been a while since the prototype release, huh? Six months, and a ton of progress has been made since then. So much progress that I can now confidently release the demo version of the game!

Here are some highlights of the changes in this version:

  • New "TV Toggle" player ability - TVs are now off by default, and you can right-click them to expend a charge of your ability to turn them on, or right-click again to turn the TV off and regain a charge!
  • New "Bonus objective" system - after completing a level, you can try to go for additional challenges, such as completing the level under a time limit, defeating all enemies, and finding all the secret memory cards hidden around the level!
  • New "Coupon" system - completing levels and bonus objectives will reward you with coupons that you can spend on upgrades!
  • Two new HDMI channels:
    • Avatar Console - Change the appearance of your avatar, purchase upgrades and unlock archive lore entries!
    • Signal Space Simulation - Endless wave-based combat mode with 3 lives!
  • Channel 01 has received some more environmental decorations!
  • Rebindable controls and gamepad support!

You can read about all the changes in more detail in the monthly devlog I've been writing since March!

The current plan for the full release version of the game is to feature six main campaign levels, and to release it sometime towards the end of 2025. I have two levels ready, and the third one is already in development.

I've been working on this daily for half a year, and expect the rest of the work to take another 5-6 months. So, I'd really appreciate for all this work to not be in vain! If you like the game, then please, share it with others! I'd also appreciate a donation on Boosty - I want to do a Steam release as well, but living in Russia nowadays makes the process a little more expensive than it would've been.

I hope you'll find this demo fun! If there's anything you wanna say or suggest, feel free to leave a review or a comment on the game!
