Useful Things to Know About Demon Turf: Neon Splash

If you have played the original Demon Turf game that was released in 2021 on the 4th of November, you are in for a surprise; developer Fabraz has been busy and a sequel called Demon Turf: Neon Splash is here. This is a 3D platformer that has you playing as a 2D character trying to complete courses as fast as possible while switching between Beebz’s humanoid demon and bat forms to get past the obstacles that stand in your way. To successfully finish the level, you just have to reach the mirror at the end. Here are a few things you should know before you jump into the action.

Each of the ten courses has three different trophies to earn — Gold, Silver, and Bronze — and to get the Gold trophy it's usually required to complete it in two minutes or less. Even the first tutorial level is challenging, don’t assume that the game will take it easy on you; on my first attempt, my time was 21:52.67 — not even close to the time required for a trophy! Knowing the large variety of jumps Beebz can do will help you determine which will be required to get to the next platform so you don’t spend a ton of time dying and looking at the move list. As a warning when you first try the rollout move, you will jump backwards for more speed, so don’t stand too close to the edge or you will fly off into the water. If this happens, you are sent back to the checkpoint.

Your first run through a course is going to be more about learning where you need to go than trying to get a good time; it helps a lot if you orient yourself on what needs to be done and what route to take. It’s hard to get a fast run time when you get lost and don’t know where to go!

Learn how to properly control the camera; having the camera set to auto helps a bit, but I found that it wasn’t always showing me what I needed to see (like where to jump). Use the right thumbstick to rotate the camera so you can see the platforms and hazards that surround you. Once you have attempted the level a few times, muscle memory will be extremely helpful. When you beat a level, the next one will be unlocked for you to challenge and you will also unlock a remix mode for more of a challenge.

My favourite addition to Demon Turf: Neon Splash is that Beebz has the ability to place a checkpoint flag at any location to create your respawn point if you die. Be sure to take advantage of this because there is nothing more frustrating than having to start over from the beginning when you have made progress through a very challenging level!

Those are just a few of the things I have learned during my time playing Demon Turf: Neon Splash that will be useful for players trying it out for the first time. Be prepared to be challenged! Let us know how successful you are in your first few runs of the game in the comments below!
