Demo Wrap-Up

Chains on Sand · published 20 Oct 2025, 22:09 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Quick update: I’ve unlisted the demo so I can focus entirely on polishing the full release. The demo build had diverged and no longer reflects the current game—so it’s time to let it rest.

Huge thanks to the 428 people who played the demo.
Your time, feedback, and bug reports helped shape Chains on Sand more than you know.

Final Demo Leaderboard

Here’s the final leaderboard snapshot from the demo era :

What’s better in the full game

  • New & improved leaderboard (cleaner layout, national flags, better tiebreaks)

  • More arenas & hazards, premade contenders with backstories, and post-fight choices

  • Performance, UI, and balance tweaks across the board

If you enjoyed the slice, please Wishlist & Follow — it helps a solo dev a ton and makes a real difference for launch.

See you in the arena! ⚔️
