Is the music a remix of something from another CV game?  I mean, I guess they probably can't do that though...
It really reminds me of something though...maybe Demon Castle Pinnacle?

The muzak is original, but being Yamane, it certainly does sound similar to some of her other tracks, like Pinnacle.

does anyone know how to get full map in the demo b/c i cant get full map
and im wondering

is full map even possible

I think maybe some areas require a double jump that will come later :o Maybe, we'll see.

I think you can check your backer page for the code if you don't have the email. Can you access that? :D

We don't know if the music in the demo is Michiru or Jake, do we?

Got my key but since I struggle to find time for actually playing games I'm gonna wait until Saturday night to play.

I'm pretty pumped to say the least. It looks really great!

We're sending the demo to anyone who pledged at a $60 tier or higher on any platform and filled out their Fangamer survey by June 13.

Did you fill out that survey? I know I didn't, so that's probably why I don't have mine.  :'(

If anyone is interested, here is my gameplay video with full details of my experience of this particular run in the video description.

Overall, I had a really great three hours with this five to twenty minute long demo.

BLOODSTAINED IS FUCKING AWESOME

That demo was FANTASTIC. Super on point with everything.

Good. Very Good. I'm hyped.

The update said this: But if you haven't received your key by June 27, send an e-mail to orders@fangamer.com. (If you're eligible to receive the demo, and you filled out your survey, you'll also find it on the backer management page you can reach from your survey link.)

We don't know if the music in the demo is Michiru or Jake, do we?
It sounds Michiru to me. There were some keys where I'm reminded of her other CV tunes.

Thanks, I tripped at a few places, but I think I did pretty well for only three hours worth of practice.

I'm very happy to support IGA with his project, best game purchase I've made in a long time, and I don't even have the game yet haha

That's pretty much how I felt after playing the demo once.  Then I proceeded to play it again just for the hell of it.

Shard System = a better soul system, Dullahan Shard OP.

Backdash can be canceled with down, only this time it's a faster option of travel (Speedrun senses tingling)

Enemies are great, especially Amy, because it's name it Amy.

Speaking of Enemies..... Only gripe is that the DS formula is being repeated here, After playing some Shantae: Pirate's Curse, I got used to faster, more aggressive enemies, I won't put it past the demo because it is a demo, only to demonstrate what's to come.

Boss is... underwhelming, Don't get me wrong it's good. I'm just tired of the Hit/Dodge on Sponge bosses of the DS games, needs some AoS balancing.

Graphics, 9.5/10, The Models and environment looks rather immersive, Only nit-pick is that weird overhead light that makes Miriam both abnormally brighter than the stage and casts an out of place shadow.


As for a Demo, well.... I LOVE demos it's a great way to invest enough into a game to know if you'll like it.... Unless it's a bad demo (LoS 360 demo, the PC demo made up for it for giving you the first 3 stages)

This thoughts is from : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1044304&page=274

My thoughts on the demo:

-I LOVE the animation. The main character moves really nicely and at a great speed. I also want to call out how much I like the way Miriam moves when you go from a stop to changing direction. Its reminds me a lot of the way Alucard moves.

-The jump feels right in regards to the amount of float and how high you can go. I also like that you can easily do little hops that aren't full jumps.

-The backdash maneuver looks cool!

-The level-up animation is nice and I really like how it stops the action for a moment. This is also very much like SOTN and I love it for that.

-The enemy diversity in this small demo was pretty decent. I look forward to seeing tons more in the main game.

-The boat falling apart from crashing waves was neat! I also enjoyed the endlessly spawning enemies there. Again, reminded me of the Mermen from SOTN.

-The music is fantastic. I expected as much, but its really a catchy track that I find myself humming.

-I think the boss design is cool. A She-Beast of the Sea is really a cool idea you don't see a lot of.

-Triggering the cannon with a magic attack was a nice touch. I hope the full game has more moments like this!

Overall, I was VERY impressed with the demo. It feels like this game is on track to be exactly what I was hoping for, which is a game that closely resembles SOTN but has its own distinct look, feel, and sound. Love the setting, love the music, love the enemies, its just love all around. I'm going to go ahead and tack on another pledge so I can get another physical copy.

yeah I saw the gameplay too, as I must say it look VERY well made, but I think its going to feel... to samey, as I feel its going to play like SOTN, and I  I may be wrong but I can't see this going past 1 game. I may be wrong but that's what I see
