1 year ago today, I released the Layerformer Demo for everyone to play. Since then, i have done a lot to the game, both technically and in the level design. So i think it's time that i release an updated version of the demo called "Layerformer Demo v2.0".
Like the last demo, this one only includes some levels. This time, it's the first 21 levels (T[utorial] - 20), but unlike the first demo, this version includes the boss! More on that later...
I still do plan to keep the game paid, and my target price point is still under $5-10 CAD.
Little side note before we continue...
This demo is based on a beta version (specifically beta.0.43.0
), meaning that this does not reflect the final version of the game. There could be small stuff like minor texture changes or big stuff like remaking the title screen or rewriting the entire game.
Also, the music used in this version of the game is not created by me. All songs belong to their respective owners.
And one more thing... Your Layerformer Demo v1.0 save will not work with this version of the demo due to changes with the save system.
So, what's changed.
alot.
Here is a quick rundown of things that have changed since the original 1.0 demo.
New title screen with funny texts at the bottom!
Achievements!
Save slots!
4 new levels!
Level Select!
The boss fight! Go up against a turret with big metal legs! (note: the boss is very unfinished and buggy!)
uhh you aren't supposed to see that image. i don't know how to remove them so plz disregard this image.
On top of these changes, there's also a bunch of cool other small things, including...
More sound effects!
TNT Particles (you can change the spawn rates in Settings)
Coyote timer to make longer jumps!
Alternate font! (you have to modify the locale to get this)
...and more!
Download the Demo
To download the demo, look for the package called "Layerformer - Demo" and click the "Install" / "Download" button!
Still no mac build, sadly :(
If you wish to access the original v1.0 demo, you may still download it with the new "Layerformer - Demo Classic" branch!
Final Words
Sorry for being quiet with development updates this year. I've been focusing more on the game and real-life things so I haven't had any time to publish any updates.
The last demo (v1) was made using the base of beta25, this one has been made with the base of beta.0.43.0. There's been at least 18 betas between now and the demo release. This isn't including any revisions
Again, thanks for your continued support, and I hope you enjoyed this short experience. :)
