The [b]full-version[/b] of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2311990/Rack_and_Slay/]Rack and Slay is out now[/url] for $5.99 with a 10% launch discount!
The game is filled to the brim with fun content to explore:
[list]
[*] [b]111 game-changing items[/b], with 50+ of them unlockable through playing any mode you like (and yes, in good [i]Slice & Dice[/i] tradition there is an "unlock all" option).
[*] [b]20 difficulty levels[/b] to unlock in packs (no need to go 1-by-1 if you're that good).
[*] The full 10-level [b]Crawl Mode[/b] for your good old ~30-minute roguelike runs.
[*] The shorter [b]Delve Mode[/b] with half the levels, but double the item drafts.
[*] The one-level [b]Raid Mode[/b] with random items for a quick burst of mayhem.
[*] [b]Daily Mode[/b] featuring a unique set of game-changing run modifiers every day.
[*] [b]Wild Mode[/b] for random (and sometimes extra crazy) sets of modifiers.
[*] A set of [b]Challenge Runs[/b] featuring pre-defined gameplay variants that will often drastically change the way you play the game.
[*] A full [b]Item Compendium[/b] to track your unlocks and collect badges for the highest difficulty you beat using each item.[/list]
I am so incredibly excited to finally bring this passion project to life and in a more awesome version than I could ever have imagined. Special shoutouts to Graeme of [url=https://2leftthumbs.manakeep.com/]2 Left Thumbs[/url] and artist extraordinaire Victor aka [url=https://x.com/estivador]Estivador[/url] who took the project to the next level with their hard work and input.

[h3]Creator Shoutout[/h3]
Also many thanks to the lovely [b]creators[/b] who showcased the game leading up to launch. Here's a [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8csnkctUKHGRKM8d3No3UqFX4fZhSWA7]YouTube playlist[/url] featuring those I came across the last couple weeks.
Special shoutout to [url=https://www.youtube.com/@GothicLordUK/]GothicLordUK[/url] who already featured the demo throughout multiple videos half a year ago and now returned for the full release! And German indie veteran [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1dSSASvFWwBzTN_SnRZ0rprb5AQI6Nnt]wildfremd[/url] even is 18 episodes deep into a series already!
[h3]Next Steps[/h3]
The top priority post-launch will of course be fixing any bugs players manage to find and recording all the feedback for future polish and balancing updates.
Depending on how well things go, I would also love to add [b]additional content[/b] in the future. I already have long lists of ideas for new items, enemies, power-ups, modifiers and level elements. [b]So if you like the game and want more, please leave a review and tell your friends about it[/b]. For a tiny indie dev project like this, every little bit makes a huge difference! ❤️
The same is true for one or the other port by the way, but all in due time.
