That's right, I finally released a demo. And I was even correct on my estimate of when it would come out, thanks to extreme laziness. >_> (If you're confused, look at my first post then at it's date.)
The link is on the first post, but if you're too lazy, you can get it here:

Here's a basic summery of the levels:
Lime Forest Zone (LFZ) Act 1 has hardly changed at all aside from the exclusion of the emerald token. Though it was revamped to fit new 1.09 features. Act 2 has been revamped a similar way, but what seperates Act 2 from Act 1 is the new "Emerald Portal". What this means is that you have to find a strange glowy portal in every second act and activate it. (Yes, very Mystic Realm-y but the similarity ends here.) Once activated, you'll get a message telling you a new exit has appeared and you must go through the act to find it. It's a glowy portal much like the Emerald Portal and once you step inside it, you're teleported to a new level in where you must find three emeralds and hidden tokens. More on this later. LFZ Act 3 has had a similar revamp, and is a lot more linear as it no longer features switches.
Crawla Factory Zone (CFZ) Act 1 hasn't changed much, aside from the new 1.09 features being implemented in it. Act 2 is brand new, a THZ2-esque level, but instead of slime, there's a LOT of conveyer belts and lasers and stuff. There are a few dramtic moments, such as spindashing through a coneyer belt under lasers, turrets and Detons. Finding the Emerald Portal here is much, MUCH more difficult than finding the one in LFZ2. I wish those who try and find it without cheating lots of good luck, they'll need it.
Rainy Ruins Zone (RRZ) Act 1 is also new, and features the new Black Crawla, which can only be seen in Hard mode. This level goes from calm storm to raining cats and dogs as you progress through the level. This level does indeed look beautiful from time to time, as you later progress up a mountain side. Once you finish this level, the game ends...
But there's more! There are two Emerald Stages which can only be accessed after finding the Emerald Portals in all the second acts. Each of the have three emeralds inside which must be collected to move on...but hold on. There are also Emerald Tokens hidden in the Emerald Stages, 2 in the first one and 1 in the second one. Upon completing the Emerald Stage with the tokens, you're teleported to a Special Stage where you'll have the chance at getting a Chaos Emerald. You can only get 3 at the moment because of the limitations of the demo but later on, as more versions get released you'll be able to get more emeralds. I apologize for the first two special stages as I didn't put too much thought into revamping them. (They were made at the time of 1.08) The third one however looks pretty good. The Emerald Stages are also rock hard, especially on the Hard mode, so be prepared.
That's about it. Oh! And be sure to read the Readme included in the ZIP.
...now I'm gonna get to bed. My fingers hurt from typing. X_X
