Rack and Slay
A billiards roguelike where you shoot balls at monsters, with Daily Runs.
Every day: Daily Runs: a new gauntlet every day with its own combination of run modifiers. New puzzle: Once a day.
Rack and Slay is a roguelike that plays like pool: you aim and shoot balls at monsters on a billiards-style table, building a set of balls and upgrades as you go. Its Daily Runs set a new gauntlet every day with a unique combination of run modifiers.
About Rack and Slay
Rack and Slay turns billiards into a dungeon crawl. You aim and shoot, by mouse or controller, sending balls ricocheting into monsters, and between fights you build a stronger set of balls and upgrades as the run goes on. Simple pick-up-and-play controls mean you are shooting within seconds.\n\nBeyond the standard run there are options to condense a run to half the length with extra loot or to tackle a single-level raid in a few minutes, an endless mode after a win to see how far a build can go, and adjustable difficulty.\n\nDaily Runs set a new gauntlet every day, featuring a unique combination of run modifiers, so each day asks for a different approach to the same table.
Rack and Slay is a paid game on Steam (about 3,53€ at the time of writing), made by Ludokultur.
