Hello Steam! aGlitch here, main developer of Ad Wars. I'm super happy to be here on Steam, finally releasing the store page and the free demo for Ad Wars!

Demo Time!

Ad Wars is planned to be a really long game, which will be divided into different episodes (within the same game). So, to properly introduce all the main story and gameplay elements, we decided to launch the entire intro episode for free! As for today, we just released a the patch Demo F1, which has lots of changes and fixes! More on that below!

Our plans

We're planning on releasing more patches for this demo, featuring both fixes, polishes and also upgrades (like graphics and efects) based on your feedback! At the same time, we are also working on bringing in the full version of the game, which will work as an early access (more on that coming soon). This new version is also referred as "the big update" because it will feature close to 4 hours of gameplay! And lastly, there's the never ending lookout for new players, curators, reviewers and streamers. If you're looking for a different game, and to help that game grow into it's full potential, consider giving Ad Wars a shot! We take player feedback very seriously and want to make this the best we can! Wishlists are also more than welcome and certainly help us a lot!
