SLOTS & DAGGERS is a roguelike in a slot machine. Spin the reels, chain symbols into combos, and turn every pull into damage, gold and upgrades. Build your machine run by run, then take it into the dungeon and fight your way through a weird little fantasy world full of goblins, monsters and strange little guys. Every spin matters. Every symbol you add changes the odds. And every run ends with the same question: one more? FEATURES - A slot machine that fights back – build synergies, break the reels, beat the odds - A weird fantasy world drawn by hand, in all its crude glory - 4–8 hour campaign with escalating challenges - Egg Arena – an endless high-score mode for the truly determined - Retro visuals with a hand-drawn, lo-fi charm - Crunchy old-school hip hop drum machine soundtrack - Quick runs, deep builds – perfect for a session on the go - No ads, no in-app purchases, no real money involved – just the game Numbers! Fights! Goblins! And a lot of PLING. ---- A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER After my last game SUMMERHOUSE, I wanted to make something radically different. Still small, but faster, with numbers, fights and goblins! The result is SLOTS & DAGGERS. To make this game I combined a lot of things I deeply love – weird fantasy worlds, crude drawings of strange little guys, old school crunchy hip hop drum machines and addictive arcade games that go "PLING PLING PLING" as they spit out little coins – with classic roguelike mechanics. As with SUMMERHOUSE, please keep in mind this game is a solo project – small, focused, and made with care. It's meant to be short and sweet and doesn't have the amount of content as games built by bigger teams over years, but I think it's a fair deal! I hope you have a good time with SLOTS & DAGGERS! Cheers, Friedemann
