SPORTAL DEMO UPDATE

Hello freaks!

Since the demo dropped two weeks ago, we've been working our butts off—tuning the balance, squashing bugs, polishing mechanics, and boosting the overall quality of the game. Most of this effort is aimed at the upcoming full release (yes, it's coming soon!), but the demo didn’t get left behind either. It’s been hit with dozens of juicy improvements to make your arena experience even more chaotic and satisfying!

Most important improvements:

  • In-game Wiki – Press F1 to access detailed descriptions of hundreds of items available in the game. Finally, some clarity in the chaos!

  • Health Upgrade Bug Fixed – There was a sneaky bug that gave players free health upgrades. It’s gone now—so expect a slightly tougher ride 😈.

  • Visual Polish – We’ve added dozens of graphical tweaks, including better-looking projectiles for weapons. Your carnage just got prettier.

  • Lacrosse Rework – The feel of lacrosse weapons has been improved for smoother, more satisfying gameplay.

  • Progress Tree Balance – We’ve adjusted the global progress tree for better balance and made its structure easier to understand.

  • Pink Barriers Added – No more falling off the edge of the level. Pink barriers now keep the action contained (and your rage focused).

And if you're curious, here's a little devlog I recorded a few days ago—a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s cooking!

We’re absolutely blown away by how much you’re enjoying our little demo! The response has been incredible—dozens of comments here on Steam, on our Discord, and across social media. Honestly, we didn’t expect this kind of love, and it means the world to us.

If you haven’t played the SPORTAL Demo yet, now’s the perfect time to jump in! And if you like what you see, please consider wishlisting the game and sharing your thoughts in a review or comment. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us shape SPORTAL into something truly special before launch.
