The Demonizer G development version now includes Stage 2! Like Stage 1, it is almost totally remade to be more dynamic, exciting, and, well, shootable! To try it, opt into the development beta in the game properties. Other updates: Red damage tint for squadmates, and fixed a bug letting them take bullets without any damage. A simple attract mode when the title screen receives no input for 10 seconds. The little white items from defeating enemies just before they fire have been disabled until the system is refined.
