Hey there! Big news this week, Spread: Transmission is participating in Steam Strategy Fest. Due to the game's recent release we are unable to run a discount, but instead I created a new demo. Based on the latest version of the game which released [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1926500/view/3690190108162707096]yesterday[/url], you will be able to try the game with your friends to get a feeling of what Spread: Transmission is like and whether your group of friends is cut out for casual strategy. The demo features four maps from the game's collection: [list] [*] [b]Grid[/b] might be the simplest map, but it's certainly a must-have. The map helps learning and getting a feel for the consequences of your move. [*] [b]Humble Beginnings[/b] is another great map for new players. It features an interesting layout including the prominently used one-way-cells, making the map a perfect place to get a better grasp of the basics. [*] [b]Crossroads[/b] is about the concept of redistributing charges. It's perfect for 1v1s, each player first trying to capture one side of the map and then using it to conquer the other. The map's variation made for four players is also included in the demo. [*] [b]Loops & Loops[/b] is a big map exploring many different concepts. This map is the most complex map featured in this demo and suitable for hosting longer matches with more players.

So, to give you an experience faithful to the full game, this demo includes two of the game's additional game modes: [list] [*] [b]Box Lab[/b] introduces Boxes which block the connection between cells. Use them as a fortress to defend yourself or as a tool to start a surprise attack with, but watch out and make sure your plans do not get foiled by newly spawning boxes. [*] [b]Fog Lab[/b] adds a Fog of War, deepening the overall strategy of the game. Your sight depends on the cells you own. You can spy on your opponents using one-way-cells, but be careful as an attack against you is forged from inside the fog.

Currently there are no playtime limitations or anything like that in place, so feel free to make the most of it. The demo also features the game's tutorial to get you started. That's all for now. I'll go back wrapping things up on my end and planning the next update for the game's full version. Enjoy the new demo and Steam Strategy Fest as a whole. As always, thanks for playing! ~ Cave 💛
