Hey everyone,

I've just put the free demo for Comrade, Secrets Escape! up on itch. You can play it right in your desktop browser, no download needed.

Build your kill zone, blast holes through escaping bio-experiments, and spend your Rubles on more ridiculous Soviet firepower. Excessive force is authorized.

If you're into it, a wishlist helps a lot. Thanks for checking it out, and let me know how your defence holds up.
