You're close. The demo omits the last 2 zones, Space and Fortress. once you exit the Marine zone you'll get a message thanking you for playing the demo and asking you to buy the full version.
I have been told that the demo is too long, but I wanted to give people a fair chance to decide whether they really wanted to finish the game before paying for it. if a player gets to the end of the demo and says "meh, that's good enough, I'm done now", then that's OK with me.
I'm currently working on a new version to fix bugs, clean up some graphical issues, etc. I may release a new demo that only includes half the game instead of 75%. But to be honest, I'm less concerned about money than that people enjoy playing it.
A bit late to the party - if the demo passwords work in the full version, I don't see a problem with it. I would agree that the demo was too long if I beat 75% of the game, then had to beat that same 75% to get access to the last bit lol
The same passwords should work in both the demo and the full version. I wanted to make sure people wouldn't lose their progress in that exact scenario.

How big is the demo? I've just reached the Marine area, and wondering how close to the end I am.

Yah, if your goal is to sell copies, I would agree with them about it being too long.
