Demo Locks Out?

[Mr. Blonde]

I have played 5 rounds on the demo and got 2 of the 3 achievements. Trying to play today I cannot start a new run. I have a message saying "Thanks for playing, you've reached the end of the demo. Use the button to wishlist the game on Steam"

Is there a way to reset so I can keep trying this out? Or am I now locked out til the game releases?

ok, thanks! But I still feel like a looser for not beating it

Developer commented on it previously that they locked it after winning 3 times, but if you reset/delete save you can start over and continue playing demo. Hope that helps.

Surviving the boss counts as winning in the game! The system is a bit confusing I guess, because enemies stay at the end, but just like in other games, if you end the combat with some HP left, you're the winner

i feel like the boss should just out right kill you if there are any enemies left i mean its a boss battle it should have a sense of emergency and challenge. if its going to be like any other battle in the game then whats the point of calling it a boss? other than a "wall" theres no difference between the boss and regular combat. thats why i think some are saying its easy. if you enter in at full or close to full health you cant win barely paying attention if you're not intentionally throwing the run

We did try that in the past, but it didn't go well unfortunately, that was insanely frustrating to lose the run despite still having enough HP left, so we stuck to the definition that you lose when your defence is down to zero (let's say the enemy is running you over). Bosses in Drop Duchy bring additional twists that make them much more challenging than playing a regular round on a normal grid (you'll soon discover what the other two bosses are!)
