Celebrating Wholesome Games With A New Demo Update 🎉

Let's celebrate!


Hey everyone!
I'm thrilled to announce that Pocket Wheels will be participating in the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration from today until the 21st of August 🚗

Because woohoo, the demo received an update...


Leading up to this event, I made quite some changes to the demo.
This is a very exciting update for me because I feel like every little improvement I have tinkered with over the last few weeks really adds to the game and makes it a much better experience as a whole. Please check out the changelog below for more details (except for bug fixes, because there were far too many...)!

...and also its own Steam store page!


Of course, I would love to know what you think of these changes, so I decided to make use of the new Steam feature and created a dedicated store page for the demo. This way, you will not only be able to leave your feedback on the Discord server, but also in the review section right here on Steam.
So if you have a minute or two, feel free to leave a review!

I hope you enjoy this update and where the game's headed.
Best wishes and have fun playing the demo! 💛

Our friends from Wobble Ghost have just released their first game and we've played it on the last convention we visited some time ago. And if you are looking for an oldschool (and yet somehow modern) interpretation of the Zelda-Formula (especially the Phantom Hourglass one), you really should take a look at this one. It shares the same idea as Pocket Wheels basically.
