I hope there's a demo. Honestly, one of the primary reasons why I bite more on XBLA than PSN is mandatory demos. Just recently I skipped Cuboid because of a lack of demo despite liking the trailer footage and enjoying the concept.
Play bloxorz on PC. Its an older flash version of Cuboid from the same developers. If you like the mechanics there, then you will enjoy Cuboid which is better.
And I understand the no demo required policy. We have already had two small devs say they would not be able to release a PSN game at all if they had to take the time to make a demo, namely Novastrike and Everyday Shooter devs.
When its a small developer working out of his garage or in his spare time, if the concept is good enough, let them skip the demo and focus on the game. There is no magic "create demo" button. This was said by even more seasoned developers like the Pixeljunk guys.
