About this game
THE BILLIARDS ROGUELIKE
A pure-fun roguelike dungeon crawler where you're a billiard ball making your way through randomly generated levels full of monster balls, traps, collectible power-ups and more!
DRAFT YOUR BUILD
Between levels, draft from a wide variety of 100+ items with game-changing effects (all of which are stackable) to find combos, build synergies and refine your playstyle!
ASCEND THE LADDER
Battle through 20 levels of difficulty, each one adding more challenging modifiers!
VALUE YOUR TIME
While you unlock additional items by playing for even greater variety, there's NO meta treadmill "+1% power" grind!
PLAY YOUR WAY
Play a full 10-level dungeon crawl in 20-30 minutes, or choose the condensed Delve Mode with half the levels but extra loot, or tackle a single-level raid with random items.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Wins are not just tracked per difficulty and mode, but you also receive difficulty-specific badges for each item you win a run with. Fill your item compendium and collect them all!

Spreading indie love with anniversary bundles!
Today marks the 2-year anniversary of Rack and Slay! Back when I started the project I didn't dream of getting anywhere close to 500 very positive reviews. This journey will forever hold a special place in my heart and I'm super grateful to everyone who gave the game a go! ♥️New BundlesThat said, the games industry as a whole and indie dev in particular are becoming an increasingly tough business. Visibility is everything, but getting a piece of the pie gets harder every day with more and more games launching, some bringing much bigger budgets to the table, without much more space to share the spotlight for the "true tiny passion-project indies". So while Rack and Slay isn't a massive hit by any means, I feel like I was fortunate (and buffed through an awesome job by 2 Left Thumbs) to reach at least a few eyeballs with these billiard balls.Hence, bundling with other small games that deserve way more attention in the hopes of letting a couple of you know they exist is one of the ways to give back and spread the indie love just a little bit! 🙏So, without further ado, here's 3 new fun ball-focused games for you!Bundle with surreal fever dream Pinball with a Gun: BUNDLEBundle with pachinko chaos machine Resultare: BUNDLEBundle with golf roguelike ROGOLF: BUNDLETopdeck Automat demo is going places!In other news, artist extraordinaire Estivador and myself are working on a brand-new auto battler! The demo has been available for a little bit now and is being very well received by players and creators.Check out the demo for yourself right now:As mentioned before, every single wishlist and demo play helps, so thank you very much! 🙏All the best, FabianRead full article on Community Announcements (Ludokultur)AnnouncementsOfficial
