Grapple Hook PrototypeCompiled on May 22nd, 2019. Somehow, it still somewhat resembles the final game. Steam Next Fest DemoReleased October 1, 2021. Includes three playable levels and a boss fight, but there's a lot more to see if demo mode is switched off... Steam Next Fest Demo UpdateReleased October 4, 2021. A lot more restricted, and a lot smaller in filesize.

Previous Released Builds (Notes)#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Take a look at prerelease material posted on Patreon.
  • October 2020 Patreon Demo. Details are sparse, though it's been mentioned that some removed demo assets found in the Steam Next Fest Demo are used here. It's possible the demo level select was the game's main menu.
  • August-ish 2021 Super Rare Mixtape Demo. Basically a rougher version of the Steam Next Fest Demo. Streams are hard to find, though its been confirmed Outset Mountain and Blast Zone were playable, alongside a cut Race to the Finish bonus level present in the articles above. This demo also has an interaction with Toni in which she asks the player to wishlist the game on Steam. Her front-facing dialog sprite is used.
