Figured I should make my own feedback post 🙂

I have played the demo for almost 30 hours now, and I've been having fun playing along with everyone else in the IXE speedrunning competition. This game is an absolute blast, and I love being able to just jump in and play at any time. Missions are short, even when played "as expected", and starting them isn't a big commitment.

I figured KC might be interested to see what we are capable of in the current demo version. They're probably not the absolute best, but I've managed some of the better times over the last few days, and I decided to put them together in a full video showcasing some of the strategies used on each map. I hope you enjoy 🙂

Creeper World IXE Demo in 2:48 minutes (speedrun)

This is four separate runs of the four missions in the initial release of the Creeper World IXE demo. The total mission time across all four levels is 2 minutes and 48 seconds.

The game mechanics used in the video are likely to change, so this video is to show what used to be possible on release. The missions were played on game version DEMO 14...

on the bonus map, why did the terraformed area stay pink after it was dug out?

does that mean it will terraform any sand that falls into that area?

as i had to deal with falling sand

Thanks for this video... it's very useful to see how the game is played in this way. It helps me understand what I should keep and what I should remove

here's a new video on game version 15.2 🙂

a lot more interesting this time around, every mission was changed in some way under new rules, some less others more. mission 2 is especially interesting, the "bucket list" of things to do remained the same, i just had to alter my entire strategy

Creeper World IXE Demo in 3:37 minutes (speedrun)

Here is four separate runs of the four missions present in the pre-release version of the Creeper World IXE demo. The total time across all missions is 3 minutes 37 seconds.

Game mechanics have changed so this is a bit longer from my previous video, but there's still plenty of fun to be had :)

The missions were played on game version DEMO 15.2...

heh, i "accidentally" used the diagonal excavation "exploit" that blocked drones from ever going to the right. might be what saved the run, though i like to think the drones would've gone left anyways to defeat my line of ships
i totally didnt realize it, only now seeing it after a rewatch

I wasn't talking about mission 2.

You used it one time too many, going to get fixed before Monday 🙂 So make the best of it while you can. 😄

Oh, you are putting down shields before first digging? No longer lets you do that.
