“The previous demo saw close to 70,000 downloads and did a great job giving players a feel of the core gameplay loop,” said Playstack vice president of publishing Rob Crossley in a press release. “Thanks to the player feedback, the team really managed to expand on some ideas and add a few new really cool features as well. Some of these things will be shown in the demo and should hold players over until September 14.”
