Among the titles on display, Thunder of the DemonKing stood out. Developed by GoatGoatStudio, the game casts players as a Demon King awakened from a long slumber, using lightning magic to repel waves of kingdom soldiers. Controls are simple: left-click to strike lightning, right-click to grab and place objects. Players collect magic stones to power up, choosing between attack range, new skills, or stat boosts. The sheep butler character guides the player through a tutorial with deadpan praise, establishing a laid-back tone. Soldiers attack in groups, shouting 'Wah wah wah,' and the Demon King has a health gauge that depletes if enemies get close. The game has been building buzz through previous event appearances and a Steam demo.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"room6 picked up Thunder of the DemonKing at BitSummit, but the demo reveals a gap between its cute presentation and genuine difficulty in the later waves.","twitterPost":"room6 picked up Thunder of the DemonKing at BitSummit.
