G3 Success Corporation has revealed the number of times the Umihara Kawase Fresh! demo was downloaded on the Japanese Nintendo eShop.

In the span of about one day, the demo was downloaded roughly 3000 times. It’s unclear whether this is a good or bad number for the Umihara Kawase series.

However, the developer did chime in on the reason behind the demo’s creation – he wanted to dispel the notion that Umihara Kawase Fresh is a hard game, so he’s giving players to opportunity to try the demo out first.

体験版を出した理由は、やっぱり海腹川背って難しいと思ってた人が多かったから。
Fresh!になって、あの時難しいと諦めた人や、新しいプレイヤーを受け入れたかったいとら急遽制作
それがまぁ、登録や申請のバタバタを生み出し、「ここまです」とかやらかしたわけだが！　 #海腹川背　#海腹川背Fresh pic.twitter.com/i2shDdoVpk
