You're close. The demo omits the last 2 zones, Space and Fortress. once you exit the Marine zone you'll get a message thanking you for playing the demo and asking you to buy the full version.

I have been told that the demo is too long, but I wanted to give people a fair chance to decide whether they really wanted to finish the game before paying for it. if a player gets to the end of the demo and says "meh, that's good enough, I'm done now", then that's OK with me.

Yah, if your goal is to sell copies, I would agree with them about it being too long.

I'm currently working on a new version to fix bugs, clean up some graphical issues, etc. I may release a new demo that only includes half the game instead of 75%. But to be honest, I'm less concerned about money than that people enjoy playing it.

A bit late to the party - if the demo passwords work in the full version, I don't see a problem with it. I would agree that the demo was too long if I beat 75% of the game, then had to beat that same 75% to get access to the last bit lol

The same passwords should work in both the demo and the full version. I wanted to make sure people wouldn't lose their progress in that exact scenario.
