Devastro has just gone through a major overhaul. What's new? Plenty! Now there's water in the game! And tanks, new enemies, twice as many levels, more intuitive controls, a truly grandiose finale and countless other improvements.
If you've been reading this blog you already know about some of the changes but now you finally get the chance to try it out yourself.
What's new:
• Tanks
• Over 50 levels
• Water
• Giant flying acid-spitting brains
• Aliens with laser guns and with animation
• New and improved sound effects
• Improved visual effects (thanks to smooth alpha blending)
• Muzzle flashes for the machine guns
• Full version now separate from demo (has higher audio quality)
• Support for localization
• Improved controls (ie. you can hold the "walk" button)
• Status bar and better team management
• Clouds that cast shadows on the ground (looks great)
• More cutscenes (and new graphics for the General)
• Reworked finale (hilarious!!)
Free demo downloads:
Download demo for Windows

NOTE: If you have already bought the game, you have been sent a registration key which would turn the demo version into a full game. That key will not work with the new version of Devastro, sorry. It is because instead of "unlocking" the demo, there is now a separate installation file. But do not worry, you can still play it without having to pay twice. Just enter the registration information (your email address and the 8 letter key) on this page.

As for lag, I guess that depends on the computer on which you play and any background processes that may be running. Normally it should stay at 60FPS - everything is preloaded so the game itself doesn't access the harddrive when playing.
