The Critterrupters demo releases on September 30th!

Today, I can reveal that the Critterrupters demo is going to be releasing on September 30th!

It's time that you get to try out the game and get stuck in to all the features. Before you begin, you get to make your own character and that includes a few species already. I only planned Humans and Alpacas but foxes and dogs just happened.

Once on the island, and with your Hangolin in tow, its hands off for you to go exploring. There's a lot of Skill Mods and a couple of boost mods hidden around Nikkolo Island, can you find them all? However, the most important part is downloading all the Critterbytes you can find and battling with them! Create your own battle team and crush all the trainers in your way in a battle system where skills take time to charge and being attacked while charging cancels your turn. It works well, trust me!

The demo rounds itself out with a taster of a Critterbyte Club. Each club consists of 3 trainers and a leader who you must defeat with just the healing you get from winning a battle. And an additional twist that each club has a custom rule for their battles that you must contend with.

Make sure to wishlist Critterrupters to be notified when the demo comes out, and let me know what you thought of the game in the google forms survey.

This is a small sandbox to try out the main mechanics of the game. You can battle, download a collection of critterbytes and swap a small set of cards. There's no story, that's saved for the real demo.

There were obviously some bugs to sort out but the 2 main points of contention were that the tutorial was too wordy, and the second is that information in battle happened all at once.
