Our game AWAYSIS has its first major Steam demo up! We've done a lot of custom physics work to bring something somewhere in between a fully-physics based experience and something more responsive of something more Nintendo-like, its a sweet juicy middle! store.steampowered.com/app/3334760/...

The ultimate dungeon brawler. A revolutionary, physics-fueled throwdown where you’ll jump, slide, and collide on your adventure to restore peace to the Awaysis - an ancient floating relic under attack...
