-On my second run I killed the miniboss that ended my first run. It's a bit tricky for so early in the game but also very predictable. Basically it can trap you in a patch of roots, shoots a bunch of small projectiles, and has a minion that chases you down while underground then pops up to do a melee attack. You basically just keep circling around it and keep the damage on and it'll go down.

-There are definitely new enemies but most of the ones in this first area aren't terribly exciting. The wailers, an enemy that chases you down while screaming at you, are probably the most annoying unless you kill them as they appear (they don't have much health)

-I got to the first boss (who I'll avoid naming even though it's not really spoilers) and won, but barely. It feels a lot more complicated than Meg in Hades 1; it makes illusory copies of itself, summons minions, and uses a lot of different shockwave-style attacks. It's not terribly difficult though.

-Since you can't progress past here, the demo ends with a little narration and then kills you lol

-The narration reveals that it is indeed Time Itself that is the big bad in this game, which is interesting because like... the characters from the first game definitely look noticeably older. It's Supergiant so I almost wonder if, by the end of the game, the message will be something like "even gods can't live forever".

-The goal of the demo is to beat the first boss 5 times total, but I dunno if I'll give any more impressions here. Depends how much new content I see in further runs I guess.

I would've signed up if I'd known! Congrats.
I think you still can! Not positive though. If it's still open there's a button to sign up where you'd normally click to buy:

i thought about it, but when I read it was even more limited in content than Early Access will be, I decided Id rather just wait a bit longer for proper EA
Yeah it ends after the first boss, so like if Hades 1 ended at Meg.
