Swipe Slayer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Swipe Slayer is a 2D single-player card game with a rogue-like style that can be played using just clicks and swipes - making the experience quick and easy to learn. In Swipe Slayer, the red panda Lex is challenged by the greatest warriors of Animalia. To become the Feral Champion, he needs to be aggressive, fast and especially smart. By collecting key gadgets as they advance through each level, Lex will get closer to defeating the greatest animals of the Feral Tournament. Lex can equip cards that provide extra powers during each chapter and victory is achieved by navigating through all the levels, but be careful: a defeat will send Lex back to the very first level, stripping him of all their accumulated items and progress. The game is in constant evolution with new updates very soon. Developed by Alexandre César, Eduardo Andrade, Felipe Gameleira and Gabriel Goulart in Apple Developer Academy Brazil.
