Try the freshly updated Steam Next Fest demo and discover a unique arcade puzzle experience built around precision, timing, and constant rotation
Bologna, Italy – June 17, 2026. Indie developer IV Productions, in collaboration with Power Up Publishing, is thrilled to announce that Spinning Scarecrow is participating in Steam Next Fest with a freshly updated demo, giving players a new opportunity to experience its unique blend of precision puzzle-solving, fast-paced arcade action, and darkly surreal world design.
Available throughout Steam Next Fest, the newly updated demo gives players their most complete look yet at Spinning Scarecrow‘s unique blend of arcade action and puzzle-solving. Alongside the game’s core rotating movement mechanics, the demo introduces new power-ups that transform the way players approach each challenge, more grotesque enemies determined to stop your progress, and an expanded selection of deadly obstacles designed to test even the quickest reflexes.
As players spin their way through increasingly hazardous levels, they’ll need to adapt on the fly, master new mechanics, and survive a world that becomes more unpredictable with every stage. The updated demo offers a deeper glimpse into the escalating chaos and creative challenges awaiting in the full game.
Players can also tune in to a special Steam Developer Broadcast, where the team will showcase live gameplay from the updated demo, discuss the design behind its unusual mechanics, and reveal how new enemies, hazards, and power-ups are helping shape the game’s development.
Inspired by classic arcade design but reimagined with a darker twist, Spinning Scarecrow challenges players to navigate deadly obstacle courses while constantly rotating. Every movement demands precision, every mistake carries consequences, and every completed stage feels hard-earned.
Set within a grotesque, hand-drawn world filled with traps, hazards, and bizarre surprises, players must adapt to ever-changing mechanics, including rotation-reversing springs, game-changing power-ups, and unsettling carnival-inspired minigames. Easy to understand but difficult to master, success depends on timing, concentration, and the determination to try again after every failure.
