really fun demo

demo is really fun. i was waiting a demo to come to steam. every character has something that makes them fun and i like how René is just anton from antonblast (im sorry). that escape sequence though was really chaotic and i died a lot idk if im the only one. some of those meteor hits felt very unfair and scripted cuz they really expect you to be going there at the perfect time. maybe it was just the bunch of screenshake idk...
