Playing through the demo for the beta build from Kickstarter, which expands the game to some new areas, a new boss, and additional abilities (I love that zipline!). There's nothing really extra story-wise but I assume this is a sequel to Civilization where Gandhi goes nuclear and now it's all a post-apocalyptic world where humans have gone the way of the dodo and infected robots are everywhere. Armed with futuristic weaponry like a sword and a variety of upgrades Haiku sets out to save the remaining 10% of the world with Metroidvania shenanigans.

I edited out the backtracking for some extra stuff after getting the abilities though this isn't all the secrets available. You can enter the fire zone but sadly the Varia Suit isn't implemented yet so you can't get too far. CCmaci's stream of the beta did get further in which has quite a bit of unfinished rooms (https://youtu.be/5tnRjMWSW8I). I get the feeling the teleport ability is probably more late game with how it can make gates irrelevant.

The improvements are quite nice and this still looks like it'll be a lot of fun.
