Early demo of We Could Be Heroes is out now, so I will be streaming a short playthrough. The demo is available now from the store page. Please view the demo manual here before you play.

I've decided to release an early demo of We Could Be Heroes to allow everyone to experience the basic game play and environment destruction. With this being an early demo, there is a lot that's unfinished, but it's also a lot of fun. Full 4 player local co-op is available with the 4 main characters to chose from. Most of the moves for each character are complete with Simon being the most fully playable. There are likely to be bugs and things are very subject to change, but this is a great opportunity for you to experience the game and let me know what you think. The demo is available now from the store page. I will take everyone's opinions seriously, so please let me know what you think.
