Hyper Slasher

About this game

The Glitch Lord has captured our heroes and held them captive in a hellish world in the theme of a 1980’s synth combat arena. You must fight for your survival or you will be shredded into 8-bit guts. Taunt your foes with distraction and acrobatic feats before falling from the sky to deliver swift death.

"Immerse yourself in a neon-soaked 80s combat arena where every kill is a nod to the retro future we were promised."

• Select one of four characters, each with their own style and trash-talking personality.
  
• Taunt, teabag, and spit oral insults at your friends and foes.
  
• Jump and climb anywhere around the arena.
  
• Paint the entire arena with your competitor's blood and guts.
  
• Play offline anytime with the ability to hone your skills against AI bots.
  
• Slay the weak when you prevail; losers at the end of a match get disarmed and nerfed like lambs to the slaughter, allowing the winner to kill with ease.
  
• Awesome 80’s Synthwave Original Soundtrack created just for the game.
  
• Block your foes' directional attacks on the ground, walls, and in the sky, but be warned—they can only take one major hit before needing a quick recharge.

Daggra: She's as cool as a polar bear in a blizzard.


Toxic Claw: This dude has total attitude and plans on getting you salty.


Red Fang: Meditation and honor will bring this warrior victory.


Charm Caster: She is flirty and fun, manipulating and distracting opponents.

  Brief Update

  Brief update here, we've been doing a whole lot of AI changes so things are finally coming along. The game is workshop compatible and you can share you levels you create with anyone on steam! Hopefully we can finish off the last little bit of the AI - the only way we can say its ready is when we are both happy with the AI,.. currently neither of us really are. So to answer when will this be done? When it's done is kind of the answer, we aren't perfectionists but I can guarantee you wouldn't be happy with To put things in perspective this is about 2 months old and things are significantly better now, however there is still a few instances where the AI just goes a bit crazy, we are trying to make things a bit more predictable. Then we will aim to make it a little less predictable as predictable is boring (if that makes sense!)

  New Capsule Image

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/6949aafd7cfb19b5552bff87ade764892b5f491e.png Things are moving far quicker now in Slasher town. Still no dates unfortunately which I'm sure is infuriating for everyone! We also have updated audio and a fair few other updates including updated kills and an easier way to tell when someone is about to win, hopefully all these changes people enjoy! Things are moving far quicker and we are very happy with how things are right now, just not quite happy enough. Soon however, when we have date news it will be listed here first!

  A few milestones have been hit!

  Hello everyone! Lets get to it Demo Update Once again news is slow however we have a demo all ready to launch! However if I am honest the audio is a bit off .. and needs polish, we'll just get dragged over coals in its current iteration. If anyone is overly keen I am sure demo keys can be provided however! This is about the best proof I can give! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/000dd70c77233fe0dc87e3a4bdbf89d76a9b36d7.png Level Update Here is an updated Level, the left is the old look and the right is the new look! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/88ec8d953fd1516a4913de79c1100752f34a19b8.jpg Here is another Updated Level, once again old look on the right and new on the left {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/b1394246176c8a4673ff952d74f22c09015c279a.jpg Subtle differences here and there, keen eyes may notice on the bottom image a small diamond, whatever could that be? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/dee5bee132fcbb098de4bf583f83e366329771d5.png Oh noes! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31532016/3503915ae2f3541ec269fef8d094f907d9d2a13e.png Needless to say the levels are no longer as static as they where previously! It sure is making things a bit more interesting and a bit more challenging as well as adding some points of interest that players now run to. Release date Oh how I wish there was a better update here, I will say if things all go to plan the demo will be out in the next month or two (in time for the indie fest optimally!) which will pave the way for the release. This would mean all the audio and the character touches are all complete and any nagging UI or controller issue or even AI issue is resolved. Everything going to plan it would be this year. Things never seem to go to plan ːtcryː
