Hey everyone! We are back for PAX West 2022 with a brand new, updated demo! We listenened carefully to all of the feeback thats been posted on our Steam Discussions and are excited to share that lots of issues and bugs are now solved - with major tweaks to UI, camera work, Home Hub improvements and more! Let's dive deeper into what's new in Harmony's Odyssey new demo!

Improved UI, menus and text labels

We saw lots of people posting about the UI being hard to understand and improved it vastly with new icons and added text labels. Now, they're much easier to understand and navigation through menus, difficulty settings and game modes is also improved:
Level selection screen also received an update with added controls labels:

Bull's Football

We have a brand new mini game! Based around the idea of simultaneous control over the whole team, we managed to smuggle a bit of a puzzle to Bull's Football - our newest addition! What is it about? You control all team members at the same time - they move in the same direction and do not stop mid-way. Watch out for rivals - one opponent will just block your move but couple of them mean trouble! Assemble your own groups to fight them and put the ball in Minotaurs goal.

While we continue to work on new levels, additional improvements and fixing bugs, we greatly appreciate any feedback - please feel free to share your thoughts and experience in our separate Steam Discussion here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1531490/discussions/0/3430075523245701880/. In the meantime, here are full patch notes of the new demo.
