The Grinder is a large multiplayer demo that's also suitable for more experienced players. One big map, many players. Start with a simple mech; when it gets destroyed, replace it with something a little more powerful and complex. Repeat through the six levels, though we're only running for four hours or so, so reaching end game is unlikely unless you're both lucky and unlucky.
