Just released a content update patch, which, among existing local couch-coop also adds Steam Remote Play Together integration (while proper multiplayer options are being worked on).
That said, I'd love if someone could sit down with their buddy either locally, or by now also online, and give this one a spin for a session:

Since we're not yet in Early Access, just a Public Demo, the feedback I'd be looking for would be aimed less towards polish or missing systems, but more towards how it feels to play "right now" - so more towards balancing, pacing, general vibes. "Did this match drag on a bit?", "I feel like we had to wait too long to bring a unit to level 3 to unlock the fun weapons" and "We felt it was cumbersome reaching enemy units on the other side of the map" are great questions to ask.
If possible, would be great if the feedback would be directed to Discord to keep it one place, but also here too, to keep a discussion rolling if we get different opinions.
Thanks for checking the project out!
