A downloadable game for Windows

Slide n' Slash is a first person fighter set in an endless procedurally generated dungeon.

Drink potions, get powerups, slide down slopes, and find magical weapons as you fight to survive against ruthless enemies! Each level gets progressively harder with more difficult enemy types later on. 

Slide n' Slash is my submission for the 7 Day rogue-like challenge 2022.

Awesome little game and super fun! Great to see sword and blocking combat among all the shooters today, its very professionally made and smooth, I know I'll be replaying it again

I was looking at post 7drl 3D roguelikes for inspiration and this one takes the cake.  The combat is satisfying, and the game loops are all fun.  The fundamentals here are strong enough to flesh out into a sellable game, but of course it would need a lot more content.  In particular, I would like to see some meta-progression, like in FTL, Binding of Isaac, or Enter the Gungeon.  I also think that having books give you a choice of 2 or 3 upgrades would make gameplay more strategic.  The physics puzzle room is very clever, and I'd love to see more puzzles like this: It breaks up the combat, and it gives a purpose to the under-used slide mechanic.

super fun game! Please make it into a standalone game with more content + multiplayer (for coop runs). I'd buy this 100%

That means a lot, thank you!  I'm working on personal game projects, but I definitely plan to revisit this game in the future.

I ended up going back through the 7dRL list again and this one was a lot of fun. Good ideas and combat felt natural.  Well done!

two words: holy s***. I legit played this game for almost an hour. I've never played a game jam game for that long. This is amazing! You're very talented with combat and FPS controllers, which is definitely one of my weak points.  I'd love to collaborate on a game jam or another game project if you're interested. My email is looncallerstudios@gmail.com, my discord is Looncaller#0873.  

I'm honored! I've never had someone look at my past game jams. That would be very cool, I've never collabed with another dev. If you join a jam or do a project that you wanna collab on I'm Trashcan#1605 on Discord.
