The Next Fest demo is out!

The demo is out!



Go ahead and play it out, then tell me about your experience.

The demo has content for 4-10 hours of gameplay, depending on what you want to achieve, or more if you try to explore the programming side of the game to its fullest.

Here is what I am going to focus on while working on a final release of the game:

  • Final missions that will conclude a run
  • Better onboarding and explanations of mechanics
  • A better difficulty curve and progression
  • Some metaprogression (unlocking new layouts of the flagship, etc.)
  • More content in all areas
  • Save game/program/vessel design
  • Async multiplayer mode and online leaderboard
  • More music, and more changes to the already existing remixes
  • Plus some more stuff you might expect from a finished product (e.g., a fully working settings screen)

I prepared a small hint list for the new players. Use it if you have difficulties playing the game and/or if you have never played a game like this.

Here is a short video of me playing the game:

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Did you enjoy the game? If you wishlist it, the chances of its success are much higher.
