I am so incredibly excited to finally bring this passion project to life and in a more awesome version than I could ever have imagined. Special shoutouts to Graeme of 2 Left Thumbs and artist extraordinaire Victor aka Estivador who took the project to the next level with their hard work and input.

[h3]Creator Shoutout[/h3]
Also many thanks to the lovely creators who showcased the game leading up to launch. Here's a YouTube playlist featuring those I came across the last couple weeks.
Special shoutout to GothicLordUK who already featured the demo throughout multiple videos half a year ago and now returned for the full release! And German indie veteran wildfremd even is 18 episodes deep into a series already!
[h3]Next Steps[/h3]
The top priority post-launch will of course be fixing any bugs players manage to find and recording all the feedback for future polish and balancing updates.
Depending on how well things go, I would also love to add additional content in the future. I already have long lists of ideas for new items, enemies, power-ups, modifiers and level elements. So if you like the game and want more, please leave a review and tell your friends about it. For a tiny indie dev project like this, every little bit makes a huge difference! ❤️
The same is true for one or the other port by the way, but all in due time.

Your friendly neighbourhood Publisher here, Graeme!
Looking for my creative, genre-blending roguelikes? Check out the upcoming Gorgon Shield, from the creator of Swords and Sandals. It's a party-based RPG, arcade, roguelike. And I can guarantee you haven't played another quite like it!

There is large demo for you to play around in. And please be sure to add it to your Wishlist!
The full-version of Rack and Slay is out now for $5.99 with a 10% launch discount!
The game is filled to the brim with fun content to explore:
- 111 game-changing items, with 50+ of them unlockable through playing any mode you like (and yes, in good Slice & Dice tradition there is an "unlock all" option).
- 20 difficulty levels to unlock in packs (no need to go 1-by-1 if you're that good).
- The full 10-level Crawl Mode for your good old ~30-minute roguelike runs.
- The shorter Delve Mode with half the levels, but double the item drafts.
- The one-level Raid Mode with random items for a quick burst of mayhem.
- Daily Mode featuring a unique set of game-changing run modifiers every day.
- Wild Mode for random (and sometimes extra crazy) sets of modifiers.
- A set of Challenge Runs featuring pre-defined gameplay variants that will often drastically change the way you play the game.
- A full Item Compendium to track your unlocks and collect badges for the highest difficulty you beat using each item.
I am so incredibly excited to finally bring this passion project to life and in a more awesome version than I could ever have imagined. Special shoutouts to Graeme of 2 Left Thumbs and artist extraordinaire Victor aka Estivador who took the project to the next level with their hard work and input.
