I’ve been following Fabraz’s Demon Turf for a little while now. I’m a sucker for a good 3D platformer, and Demon Turf has the vibe and the attitude to set itself apart. The Indie scene is a great place for platformers like Yooka-Laylee and A Hat in Time, so Demon Turf will be right at home. However, their latest demo has offered an interesting new way of approaching demos and I’m very curious to see how it is received. Here is what the press release has to say.

“The 3D Platformer with attitude is still in development, but you can play the Trials edition RIGHT NOW! You’ll be able to check out the first area and compete in a new challenge level each week! Jump, spin, and punch your way across these trials to become #1 in the leaderboards and claim your prize! What prize, you say? It’s a doozy! The winner of each weekly challenge gets a personalized, illustrated portrait that will appear in the main game! How cool is that?!”

This demo also comes with a brand new trailer via Vimeo (linked above) and this demo is meant to tide folks over until the game launches in Q1 2021. Here are some of the features outlined in this new demo leading up to the launch of the game.

• A new carefully crafted, unique, and challenging trial that unlocks every week! We’ve got months of content in store for you!
• Leaderboards for each trial, can you become #1? The winner gets a unique portrait of them displayed in the main game! Woah!
• Comprehensive first level that teaches you the basic mechanics and introduces you to the bizarre world & story of Demon Turf!
• A unique aesthetic combining the expressiveness of 2D illustrations with the depth and sense of exploration 3D environments can offer!

• Pull off some clever platforming combinations or get physical with a special physics-driven combat system that ramps up the chaos and fun. Push, pull, and spin your enemies out of your way.
• Special turf abilities granting you additional abilities to become the ultimate speedrunner!
• Settings! Yeah, we got those. Exciting right? But they’re pretty comprehensive lemme tell ya!

Demon Turf will be launching on Nintendo Switch, the Epic Games Store, Steam, and the Xbox Series X/S in 2021. No word has been given on a potential PS5 release as of right now.
