Furi Demake is on GOG.com and Steam for free, as this side-scrolling boss fight game has been since launch (thanks GameSpot). But word is the free-to-play game will get a price tag beginning on June 23rd, with the counterintuitive explanation that this may help it attract more attention: "The game has not been getting a lot of visibility since its launch, and we want as many players as possible to get the chance to play it. Unfortunately a free game can only enter a limited amount of fests or events on Steam. Making it paid will allow us to register it in events, discount it, and make it visible to more people." Here's the pitch:

Defeat The Chain to escape your jail. Fight Furi’s first guardian in an ultra-fast-paced and nervous battle, in a reinvented side-scrolling mix of shoot'em up and hack'n slash. Be agile and quick, jump, shoot, dash, parry and slash. The simple controls will test your nerves: stay calm and focus to evade the blows and counter-attack at the right time!
