Demo gameplay

Elbmarks is a game that has a gorgeous background, and a world I want to be interested in - but has some really frustrating gameplay. This is a demo I only kept playing to take the first spot on the leaderboard. I'm also not even sure the game is in active development at this point, as the last update I've seen was in 2022.

It feels like a promising game, if it was a bit less of a frustrating experience due to navigating the world through guesses and mazes. Also if there was a better method of avoiding/destroying missiles. In a game that basically requires you to move backwards, you do it far too slowly here.
