Various demo builds published during the game's development.

Demo 1.0 ()
Aug. 4th, 2012

Everyone knows it, and everyone loves(?) it.
Demo 1.0 was the first ever publicly released Freedom Planet demo, and is one of the two final remnants of Lilac's hedgehog design (at least in playable form). Anti-aliased rotated sprites and painfully slow Carol galore!

Demo 1.1 ()
Aug. 11th, 2012

Now with a slightly more bearable Lilac moveset and some other small changes!

If you downloaded this build prior to 08/08/2026, that was NOT the actual demo! Someone uploaded a version of Demo 1.0 with a .bat file to TCRF claiming it was Demo 1.1, and I didn't double-check it. I have corrected this now and I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

Demo 1.2 ()
Sep. 21st, 2012

There was no shot the game would release commerically with Lilac still looking like a Sonic character, so she was changed to her well-known dragon design.
Also adds Shang Mu Academy, some minor sprite changes and Carol finally gains her pounce (partially)!

Demo 1.3 ()
Jan. 14th, 2013

Carol is now unlocked by default. Internally, Spade has been slightly updated and Milla has been added! The title screen music is also the same as the final game from now on.

Demo 1.4.2 ()
Jun. 9th, 2013

W i d e s c r e e n.
Most of the game has been given a visual refresh and looks more close to the final. The characters' movesets are also close to the final ones.

Demo 1.4.3 ()
Jun. 16th, 2013

Bug fixes, and also one of the first (at least archived) demos to be built for Mac!

Demo 1.4.5 ()
Jul. 11th, 2013

Bug fixes related to saving options, also changes the color of the energy bar to be more vibrant, matching the final one.

Demo 1.6.10 ()
Nov. 23rd, 2013

Quite a big timeskip between the last few, huh?...
Most menus, music and graphics look/sound like their final counterparts, save for some of the character select portraits, and the characters' movesets are nearly finalized.

Demo 1.12.3 ()
Jun. 24th, 2014

An earlier version of the demo, featuring Lilac blushing in her portraits for whatever reason.
The derp save select icon from this version was turned into a Steam emote.

Demo 1.12.5 ()
Jun. 28th, 2014

The demo you can find on Steam and on the official website.

Nindies@Home Demo (USA EU)
Jun. 15th, 2015

A demo for the Wii U build released a few months before launch. Only contains Dragon Valley and Lilac.

PAX South Demo ()
Feb. 15th, 2016

Available via the Steam demo's beta branch. It was created for PAX South, but it was available on the game's forums and in this beta.

Note: Builds above 1.5 require a Data folder that was provided with the zip file I got, you won't have sounds nor the dialogue font otherwise! These files are more close to the final game's, but contain metadata that was otherwise stripped. This also means the builds are sort of incomplete, so I'm sorry for that.

Versions from 1.10.0+ need to be patched onto the latest Steam version with DeltaPatcher.

Freedom Planet's kickstarters who paid $50 or above received permission to alpha/beta test the game before release. While these were meant to be private, sometime in 2018 a bunch of them leaked.

A zip containing a couple of them has been spread around for years at this point, and since I find gatekeeping EXTREMELY lame, I've made them available for download here.

Is this ethical? Well, the game's been out for 10+ years at this point and some of these builds have been made public before with no issue, so Galaxytrail doesn't really care.

Test Build 1.4.X (1.4.0) ()
Apr. 5th, 2013

Not a .TC file this time!
Milla? Spade?? Aqua Tunnel??? Relic Maze???? Debug features????? A cool unused intro?????? Torque being cucked from playing anything?!?!?!? Ooh la la!

1.5.0 ()
Jun. 30th, 2013

The build where they flipped Carol's portrait for some reason.
Now with an (uncompletable) Fortune Night, Sky Battalion, Spade as (mostly) a panda and some sprites done for the character select screenshaking easter egg! There's interesting stuff inside the files too!

1.6.9 ()
Nov. 3rd, 2013

One of the last few builds before the stage select menu was reworked. Jade Creek is playable, but has some placeholder graphics. A work in progress version of Thermal Base is available in the files.
Requires the Data folder.

1.7.0 ()
Dec. 1st, 2013

Oh hey, there's the color palettes that cause memory corruption and their unused color bars!
Various graphical changes were made, and now Thermal Base is accessible in Time Attack.
Requires the Data folder.

1.8.0 ()
Dec. 27th, 2013
(The .exe calls itself 1.7.1, but datamining 1.7.0 suggests it isn't.)

Adds the ladders in Thermal Base's Syntax fight and allows access to Pangu Lagoon to both Lilac... and Spade?
More interesting on the inside, as this was the last build which modified the stage version of Rage Ravine.
Requires the Data folder.

1.10.0 (Patch)
Mar. 18th, 2014

Battle Glacier's here! Torque is finally released from his status of being unplayable and can now be played as in Battle Glacier and Shang Mu Academy.
Or, err... the Shang Tu Dojo?
Requires the Data folder.

1.11.0 (Patch)
Apr. 5th, 2014

Adventure Mode's here now!! Some unused dialogue is present and hub worlds sort of work/exist! You cannot progress past Battle Glacier due to Final Dreadnought being incomplete.
Requires the Data folder.

Various builds made to test Chowdren.

Every build besides the fpdebug ones require DeltaPatcher and must be patched onto the latest Steam version (NOT any of the betas!!!). They contain the full game and I'd rather not condone piracy here.

fp-test-10.zip (Patch)
Mar. 25th, 2015

FP 1.20.3 running on Chowdren. Not too interesting besides the fact that this is the earliest version of 1.20.3 that still exists.
fp-test-(2-9).zip are lost media.

fpdebug-(1-3).zip (1 2 3)
???, 2015 (fpdebug-1); Apr. 3rd, 2015 (fpdebug-2); Apr. 4th, 2015 (fpdebug-3);

Three different builds sent publicly to fix bugs related to Chowdren. Reportedly requires files from Beta 1.20.3 on Steam (Manifest 193411533195907885) to function? I couldn't get it working myself.
fpdebug-4.zip exists, but is an empty broken zip file.

fp-test-d3d.zip (Patch)
May 2nd, 2015

FP 1.20.3 running on Chowdren yet again, this time using Direct3D.

fp-debug-dep.zip (Patch)
May 2nd, 2015

Compiled at the same time as the Direct3D build, but with a debug console.

fp-wiiu-ragasonic.zip (Patch)
Oct. 29th, 2015

Intended to test the Wii U mode, supposedly.
Named after CreamAddict (then Ragasonic), one of the alpha testers for the game.
