good luck with the demo release! i see you guys already have several reviews, that's great!
Screenshot of the best deckbuilder to ever grace this planet. In this demo, you can experience the core loop of the game. First, you can expect a tutorial. Then you can play with two different characters for the first half of the regular game, along with the “Daily Flight”: a brand new challenge every single day with a global leaderboard. Hours of playtime await you, and we hope you enjoy every single minute! Sparrow Warfare is a synergy-rich deckbuilder where you make wild combinations of tiles to free birds and battle against the fiendish Storyteller and his minions. In addition, daily flight mode offers endless replayability with different challenging modifiers and global leaderboards. Features: 🃏Deckbuilding: 150+ wildtiles to discover and infinite game-breaking combos to find ♾️ Endless Replayability: progressive difficulty, daily flights & challenging modifiers 🔥 Multiple Playstyles: suit your personal taste, whether you prefer aggression or cunning 🐦🔥 Big Bird Action: 100+ birds to free, each one featuring real bird sounds 🤺 Meta-Strategy: experiment with synergies & build new approaches run after run The full game of Sparrow Warfare will include all four different Ways (Fire, Song, Water, and Ghost), the full progression mode up to Level 12 for all four Ways, and Steam achievements. We plan to have full localisation for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, and Russian in the full game. Sparrow Warfare is developed by just two veteran game developers (Martin Pichlmair & Charlene Putney) who share all of the work between them, but it wouldn’t be as good without the amazing assistance of our loyal playtesters: we love you guys! We truly hope you enjoy our demo. Please wishlist and follow Sparrow Warfare to keep informed about development and help us get the word out there. Fly free little sparrows! Martin & Char
And just like that, we've released our first public demo for Sparrow Warfare. From here on out we're building in the open. And you can be a part of that!
it was fun to contribute to what became a playtesting masterclass masterfully assembled by Joe. check it out!

The hook line formula: (what) is (who/what) with (how) set in (where)
For teaching how to write succinct one line descriptions of games I developed a formula many years ago. It's not perfect but good for checking your taglines.
actually this is a better one haha :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Nn...
nice framework! btw i couldn't help hearing the questions in my head in the voice of Jonathan Frakes www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S1E...
I was just thinking of achievements so why not share my theory about them? There are three purposes of achievements and a good game features all of them:
1. Marking progress
2. Teaching to play
3. Communicating progress to friends
