We have a date: Time Master will release January 18th!

To pass time till the game's January 18 release date (see what we did there?), we thought it was worth putting together a new demo.
The previous version of the demo was designed to be a ~1 hour experience. The intention was to have players explore the nuances of 2 different puzzle mechanics in a few levels (~45 minutes), then have them put the 2 mechanics together in 1 level in a clever way (~15 minutes). There was a small problem: only 1% of players who tried the demo finished it! The rest never got to the punchline. I spoke to other game developers who ran demos, and their findings were similar: players tend to give demos a quick 10-15 minute go. Even in my own Steam library, all demos I tried and enjoyed had less than 20 minutes of play time.
So, I decided to create a shorter demo focused on 1 puzzle mechanic. Players can finish the game and enjoy a complete experience within 15 minutes. This is good news for everyone: for folks who have tried the old demo, there is a new set of puzzles to try in the current demo. For folks who didnt: I hear you, you only want to give it a quick try. You can now do that and still get a complete experience!
You can download the demo from the store page, or update it from your Steam library if you have downloaded it previously.
