Hello! We've just put up the demo of Dania — First Encounter, a 2D Metroidvania action-platformer with the stats, loot and skill trees of an action RPG, set aboard a colony ship the size of a city.

The demo is graduation day at the Training Center: you make your cadet, choose the family that raised you, and take three exams with a robot boss at the end of each. Every attack has an answer (jump the low volley, duck the high one, dash through the wall), so the bosses test what you've learned and not how fast you can press a button. It runs about 30 to 45 minutes, with a keyboard or a gamepad.

It's in development, so anything you tell us changes what we fix first: there's a feedback button in the game, and the page's comments are open.
