I am really happy to have crossed the 2.000 Wishlists milestone, and that's all thanks to you!To celebrate, the demo is receiving an update with visual improvements in the mines and little changes that should make the first minutes more permissive and overall smoother. There are some other changes, like destroying an entire row of blocks now has a totally different effect, but they will have a bigger impact in the full game.
