In case you avoid Slay the Spire 2 because you don't wanna lose 1000 hours immediately, how about a StS-esque demo about birds?
Tho to be fair, if you play like me it's mostly about an awful sparrow setting everyone on fire, then blowing up repeatedly. But. Birds!

Char and Martin are:
a)some of the best people you will ever meet, and
b) great game makers.
So there's at least two reasons for you to go get the demo of their game. If you need another one:
c) it's a very, very good deckbuilder.

This game is very good. I know itโs a bit of a week for deckbuilders but you have to give it a go.

Screenshot of the best deckbuilder to ever grace this planet.
In this demo, you can experience the core loop of the game. First, you can expect a tutorial. Then you can play with two different characters for the first half of the regular game, along with the โDaily Flightโ: a brand new challenge every single day with a global leaderboard. Hours of playtime await you, and we hope you enjoy every single minute!
Sparrow Warfare is a synergy-rich deckbuilder where you make wild combinations of tiles to free birds and battle against the fiendish Storyteller and his minions.
In addition, daily flight mode offers endless replayability with different challenging modifiers and global leaderboards.
Features:
๐Deckbuilding: 150+ wildtiles to discover and infinite game-breaking combos to find
โพ๏ธ Endless Replayability: progressive difficulty, daily flights & challenging modifiers
๐ฅ Multiple Playstyles: suit your personal taste, whether you prefer aggression or cunning
๐ฆโ๐ฅ Big Bird Action: 100+ birds to free, each one featuring real bird sounds
๐คบ Meta-Strategy: experiment with synergies & build new approaches run after run
The full game of Sparrow Warfare will include all four different Ways (Fire, Song, Water, and Ghost), the full progression mode up to Level 12 for all four Ways, and Steam achievements. We plan to have full localisation for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, and Russian in the full game.
Sparrow Warfare is developed by just two veteran game developers (Martin Pichlmair & Charlene Putney) who share all of the work between them, but it wouldnโt be as good without the amazing assistance of our loyal playtesters: we love you guys!
We truly hope you enjoy our demo. Please wishlist and follow Sparrow Warfare to keep informed about development and help us get the word out there.
Fly free little sparrows!
Martin & Char
And just like that, we've released our first public demo for Sparrow Warfare. From here on out we're building in the open. And you can be a part of that!

I cannot WAIT for more of you folks to get your hands on this. Watching it develop has been a treat. It's challenging in all the right places and makes you wanna play more and more.
FREE THE BIRBS.

My uncle's name is Robert Zeppel-Sperl and his wicked painting career is one of the main reasons why I knew I can become who I want and don't have to follow any established paths.

This tile is based on a painting my uncle, a painter, gifted my mum, his sister, when I was born. I grew up with it hanging in my room and it's still my most cherished piece of art. That bird, with his miraculous stare, has puzzled and delighted me for my whole life.

I also get that โsick brainโ feeling when Iโm unwell where everything is the worst & also itโs going to be the worst forever. Mar has to do a lot of heavy lifting to remind me that itโll lift, it always does. Iโd be super interested to understand whatโs actually happening in the brain there!

Only 3 days until our demo launches. Just made an even better build. Time for us and our playtesters to give it a final spin. Crazy how far this game has come with only two developers.
