Thank you to everyone who has ventured into Rogue Glitch in these early and exciting times! Over the weekend I’ve built the beginning of the challenge system and Steam achievements. Each of these challenges offer a new item for your pool as a reward and the “Untouchable” challenge will grant you access to the latest playable character, Igor.
Igor benefits from a stacking rage affect that increases damage output for a short duration after destroying an enemy. Igor rewards a swift and aggressive playstyle (and may be a tad strong at the moment so give it a whirl before the balance-hammer comes knocking!)
Today, Numskull Games and I are hosting an AMA on the r/Games subreddit. We’d like to invite you all to join us if you have time to drop by!

Many thanks and happy roguelite-ing!
