Hey there,
I’m YuWave, the solo dev behind Demon Lord: Just a Block.
To celebrate the game’s launch on April 29 and connect directly with the community, I’ll be hosting two Reddit AMA sessions where players can ask me anything about the game, its development, and what’s next.
Join us here:
Wednesday, April 29 — 7:00 AM Pacific Time
Thursday, April 30 — 7:00 AM Pacific Time
Hope to see you there!
Hello everyone,
This is YuWave! There are only 7 days left until the release of Demon Lord: Just a Block! My hands are trembling with excitement as we count down to April 29th. I can’t wait to hear everyone’s feedback and see you all playing!
If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas, or even quirky thoughts about the game, feel free to reach out, and let’s chat!
Hi everyone,
I’m YuWave, the solo developer of Demon Lord: Just a Block.
The full game is almost here and will launch on April 29. Before anything else, thank you so much for all the support so far — especially to the 40,000+ players who downloaded and played the demo. Your support has carried this game all the way to release.
As the full release gets closer, the current demo no longer fully represents the content and quality of the final version. Also as a solo developer, I need to put all of my remaining time and energy into polishing the full game for launch.
Because of that, the demo will be removed from Steam on April 15 at 1:00 am Pacific Time. After that point, it will no longer be available to download or play, even if it is already in your Steam library.
So if you have been curious about the game but have not tried it yet, this is your final chance to play the 98% positive-rated demo before it disappears.
Demon Lord: Just a Block is a grid-based action roguelite built around movement, timing, and decision-making.
Enemies only act after you act, which means you can think through every step while still enjoying the thrill of dodging, parrying, repositioning, and creating powerful build synergies.
If that sounds like your kind of game, please wishlist Demon Lord: Just a Block and come back on April 29 for the full release.
Try the demo before it is gone. And if you enjoy it, wishlisting the game is one of the biggest ways you can support me.
See you on April 29!
Want to keep up with development and future updates? You can follow here:
Hello everyone!

If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend trying the free demo to see if this game is right for you. The demo includes most of the core gameplay from the full version.
If you've played the demo and enjoyed it, please add it to your wishlist and leave a review on Steam. Steam reviews help the game get discovered by Steam's algorithm.
Finally, thank you all once again for your continued attention and support! See you on April 29th!
Hello everyone!
I’m YuWave! Our wishlist count for Demon Lord: Just a Block has reached 20,000! Thank you so much for your support!
Development is moving along steadily. Recently I’ve been focusing on creating new abilities to build fresh gameplay styles, such as the shuriken build that many of you have been asking for.
Thank you again for all your support and feedback. Without you, the game wouldn’t have received so much attention. I’ll keep working hard!
If you have any suggestions for the game, please leave a comment — your feedback means a lot to me!
