We have just published a new build for the demo. In that update a couple of bugs we noticed and feedback points from users are adressed. The main update announced a week ago was the input possibility added for keyboard/mouse and there were still some graphical feedback and sound updates needed to complete that feature. Additionally we noticed there were some rough spots in the first tutorial where in case you died or missed the tutorial action to do during the weapon system test there was a bug that led to the ship being pulled away and flying no longer was doable.
In detail:
