What have been your favorite demos, what demos ran well on Steam Deck, etc
Bloodthief ended up being exactly as fun as I’ve expected
My favorite demo I played was Clover Pit, it’s by the devs of Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, and could lazily be described as balatro meets a slot machine. In reality it’s more different from balatro, it has it’s own retro horror vibe and some other interesting things going on. I enjoyed it, and found myself itching to play it more.
Nothing else clicked with me unfortunately. Jump Ship looked cool but didn’t run well on the deck, Brave Junction is a blackjack StS type game by rideonjapan but didn’t quite click with me. I tried a few other games but nothing hooked me.
Not a Deck user, but I’m on EndevaourOS. All the games ran perfectly, expect some minor issues with the Giggleland demo which tried to do some 4th wall things, like grabbing your wallpaper and that one was just a black screen.
My favorite demos are these:
- Roman Sands RE:Build is about being stuck in a mysterious world (feels like a purgatory to me) where you wish to escape. The OST is really catchy, and it has some strong Danganronpa inspiration, since the music feels a bit reminiscent about the series and it has the signature gambling gift system in it
- UNBEATABLE must be a fan favorite for Lemmy, or atleast with the 196 users, since you beat up cops on a rhythm basically. It’s a world where music is illegal, and the characters constantly refer to cops as fascists. Obviously the songs are PEAK. Also watch this trailer plss, it’s so goood.
Jump Ship ran okay on the deck. Definitely needs some tweaking and polish though. Unfortunately I don’t think I have anyone to play it with
