This Classic Pack game is kind of a weird one. It's not really a full game but more a proof of concept demo.
In 2012 I was making Scruffy Crystal Castle which was kind of a score attack platformer, it was unbalanced but pretty cool! I did not get to finish it (at least not yet anyway) because sadly life back then got REALLY busty and messy, and so did the codebase.
In college I needed something good to show off for my IT (Information Technology) program's recruitment events so I dusted off what I had done and basically made it into a presentable demo, although I also took the opportunity to use it as a dartboard for random ideas. You can thank The Demo for the ball jump, star arrows, and a number of other things that would later be perfected in Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition.
The Demo was also the first Super Freaks game at SAGE, shown during SAGE 2016. It got kind of a mixed reception at the time though I remember people kinda thought it was cool. Fast forward to 2022 and I would come out swinging with Ultimate, and the rest is history. So, messy as this demo is, it's an important part of freaks history and we wouldn't have a lot of things without it.

Fun fact, this game is by far the HARDEST game to update for the Classic Pack and I try to touch it as little as possible. Fallout 76 is coded better than this game. I wouldn't be shocked if Sonic 06 is coded better too, this just hides it better. The codebase is so bad that I actively dread wading through the spaghetti just to figure out what literally anything does. I'll try my best to make it as inline with the other games as possible, but don't count much on it.
