Bounce Castle's Demo is Live NOW!

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

The demo is live on Steam, which means you can now personally verify that this game is, in fact, real.

It’s got all the stuff that a good game has:

Levels
Funny enemies
Menu buttons
Meaningful strategic decisions
Real consequences. Well, not real LIFE consequences. Could you imagine? That would be something.

And yes — there are Steam Achievements in the demo. You can earn them. You can flex them. You can pretend you totally meant to unlock that one on your first try.

Play it. Break it. Try weird strategies. Accidentally discover the optimal meta and ruin my week cuz now I have to patch it out, who cares, I got nothing else going on.

If something feels off, confusing, unfair, or mysteriously brilliant, let me know. Feedback is welcome. Praise is tolerated. Positive reviews on the Demo's page will make me thing you're really cool.

Anyway. It’s out.

The loudest signal I was hearing was about the games difficulty, specifically that the game should be considered a souls-like with how challenging it can be. Well, Sneezy and I got right on that and implemented a hidden metric called the Player Level . When first playing t…
