Oh hey, small little update, I finally got around to adding a freeware/demo version of the game to the itch.io page :)
I've been wanting to get around to doing it for a while, but I kept procrastinating. Did you know this site limits how many files an HTML upload can be? I had to manually remove a ton of files to get it to actually work-

But I'm glad I did it, hopefully it helps convince people to try out the game before buying it, I completely understand being warry to try random indie projects like this without knowing what it plays like first.

Now, for some notable restrictions of the demo version:

• Only the Starter Egg can be run. This effectively brings the game to its state around the 1.0 version, but with all the bug fixes and quality-of-life the newer releases have.
• The Explore Page is disabled. This means no buying extra Food items, changing Habitats, or using the Fortune Teller. Most of this is because of that pesky file limit. :,) These features carry a lot of custom spritework and junk.

If you've been eyeballing the game, hopefully this gives you a chance to try it out! Also maybe consider buying it if you end up enjoying it.

(Note: Playing the demo on mobile seems to mess with the text a little bit? It's purely visual and I'm not sure how to fix it since it looks fine on desktop)
