A major update to the demo, come back and see what's changed

Hey everyone,

Over the past two months, we’ve completely reworked the Painted Kingdoms demo.

The whole experience has been improved: progression, upgrades, biome systems, quality-of-life, and a long list of fixes.

Here’s what’s new:

🌱 Painted Biomes now evolve through player choices

Each biome can be upgraded through multiple evolution paths, shaping your strategy and its interactions with the rest of your kingdom.

⚙️ Every biome now has its own unique mechanics

• Forest spreads roots that slow enemies

• Meadow lets you manage and assign rabbits

• Lake introduces a full water-network system

• …and more.

🗼 A fully redesigned upgrade system

With 30+ new upgrades, including entirely new tower evolutions, effects, and visuals.

🎴 Stamps & Seals

Unlock new stamps and seals to personalize your runs and adjust the game’s difficulty to your playstyle.

🏆 Challenges & Leaderboards

New ways to test your builds, optimize strategies, and compete for high scores!

🗺️ A brand-new demo level

The demo itself has been redesigned to better showcase the new version of the game.

✨ Plus many gameplay improvements, controller updates, balancing changes, new effects, and lots of bug fixes.

If you tried Painted Kingdoms during The French Game Awards, the current demo is already a much better experience than the original version, and we’ll keep improving and expanding it over time.
