Hi! Given the huge optimization improvements from patch 1.13 have been pretty stable, it's been quiet for a little while in terms of quick-fire updates, BUT that doesn't mean I've been idling. In fact I'm knee-deep in working on the next big content update. Today I'd like to drop the first few teasers!
First things first though, thanks so much to everyone who reviewed the game recently. The review number has been creeping up quite consistently and I'm so grateful to see the game is being well received. Really keeps the indie dev motivation going! ❤️
(Side note: This reception includes the recent article from roguelike afficionado Gideon's Gaming who really got what the game is going for and found it to be "incredibly clever, fast, and easy-to-play".)
What's coming?
Now let's look at what's coming in the next big update though:
- New items that shake the arena and smush enemies
- New enemies, some charming and some very hungry
- New obstacles, some of which are quite trigger-happy
- New pick-ups revolving around tricky positional plays
- New challenges runs to DOUBLE the number of challenges
- New run modifiers for more Daily / Wild run variety
The amazing Estivador also started working on the new art assets already, and while everything's still in the works, here are a few teaser sketches:
Will the bananas be of the "Gros Michel" variety? Who knows!
Switch Release
In other news, I'm very excited to announce Rack and Slay is coming to Switch on August 19! For now, it'll be on the European and Americas stores. The port and approval process have been an ongoing side project for a while, so I'm really happy to get this one out the door.
