Sup fellow demons! Did y'all know we're releasing ANOTHER GAME RIGHT NOW!?
Yup, we're also the team behind Bubsy's grand return as a 3D Platformer! We can barely believe it ourselves. And Bubsy 4D is out RIGHT MEOW!
You can now buy both in one sweet bundle for over 10% off. Yeehaw!~
The big 1.1 patch for Demon Tides is here and comes with new games modes, new features, "quality of life" improvements, additional polish and a plethora of bug fixes!
Check out this video highlighting some of the shiny new stuff & the patch notes below:

We launched the Demon Tides Demo back in February and your response has been spectacular! Here's just a few quotes of what the press had to say:
“Demon Tides' open world platformer structure combines with some of the most expressive 3D platforming I've ever played to set its telescopic sights on the genre crown.” Games Radar
“The gameplay of Demon Tides is fast and frantic, and feels better to play than 90% of big budget platformers that I’ve sunk my time into.” VICE
