Thank you so much for your feedback on Discord! I've just updated the demo with a patch that fixes some bigger bugs and changes a few balancing things:
Fixed an issue where setting a high framerate could occasionally lock the boost button during the tutorial
Fixed a rare bug that would stop the engine from calculating fuel items correctly leading to a soft lock
Efficiency based modulators should be working correctly
Endless mode scales much more aggressively
Anvil has been nerfed a bit
Pirates can no longer be hung up on using the keyboard/controller input
Pirates can now demand more Glory than you currently have
Black market items are pricier
Stopped boost button enabling before salvage panel opens, leading to salvage staying up during a boost
Game should now default to opening fullscreen for new players
Game shouldn't have invisible barrier on steam deck any more
