After 6 months of development in my free time. I have finally completed the first stable build of Cosmic Carnage. This playtest shouldn't be too far off the demo version. I just wanted to catch any bugs in this playtest in order to release a more stable demo.

Thank you for anyone that has the chance to try out the game and leaving feedback. I hope you enjoyed playing the game as much as I enjoyed making it.

Please leave me some feedback here on steam or via discord
