Well, that demo was a complete waste of time
What's the purpose of this demo? You don't get a chance to see anything. You just run along for 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how slowly or quickly you walk/run. After 3-10 minutes of walking/running, the opening titles appear. One minute after that, as soon as you jump on a platform to get to what is probably the first level, the demo ends. I've gone through it several times to make sure I didn't miss anything along the way, and I didn't. This is literally 3-10 minutes of walking and jumping from one platform to the next, and that's it. The demo gives no indication of what this game involves, any story, mechanics, or features, or any preview of what to expect from the full game. In other words, absolutely nothing to entice you to buy the game. You learn far more about the game on the Steam product page than you do in the demo.

This demo is actually doing a great injustice to the game because I still have no idea what this game is about, and whereas I was curious about the game before "playing" the demo, I have absolustely no interest after "playing" the demo.
