Rack and Slay DEMO out now!

Head to the Steam page right now to download an early demo version of the game featuring 60 wacky items and full access to the 10-levels Crawl mode through its 20 difficulty levels.




I'm Fabian and run my solo indie dev endeavors under the "Ludokultur" label. For Rack and Slay I teamed up with the amazing artist and animator Victor Negreiro to bring my vision of a "billiard roguelike" to life!

Here's what's coming to the full version on top (planned release Q1 2024):

• Many additional items to unlock with wild, often more complex effects
  
• The shorter Delve mode with double the item rewards
  
• 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
  
• Plus, obviously, all kinds of tweaks, fixes and polish all around
  

Additionally, as if releasing a first public demo wasn't thrilling enough, I'm especially excited today to officially announce a publishing partnership with 2 Left Thumbs! Take it away, Graeme!




Hello everyone! For those unfamiliar, 2 Left Thumbs is a "micro-publisher", meaning the whole operation is just me! My mandate as a publisher is in working with small teams whose interests and preferences in video games overlap my own.

Fabian and I got to talking over Rack and Slay, and our shared appreciation for affordable and highly replayable roguelikes – combined with my history in publishing roguelike titles – made for a perfect fit to join forces!

I hope you find the short and simple runs of Rack and Slay as addictive as I have! I’m thrilled to unveil this partnership, and to finally see this delightful little game in the public’s hands. Please share your feedback either in the Steam discussions, or over on the Ludokultur Discord. Cheers!
