Patch 1.27 - Visual Variety Update

Hi folks! Today artist extraordinaire Estivador and I have a little holiday surprise for you! 🎁

Speaking of holidays, the game will be on sale for Steam Winter Sale a few hours from now, so that should be a great time to join the fun-loving billiards roguelike family (or tell a friend about it)! ❤️


This patch includes a whole bunch of new graphics for floor tiles (including special boss-level ones), the outer arena walls and funky new hole graphics! 👀


And yes, you can turn the one below off by deactivating the "gore" checkbox. 😬

Patch notes (v1.27)

  • Added a variety of new floor tile graphics.
  • Added special floor graphics for boss levels (5 and 10).
  • Added alternative graphics for the outer arena walls.
  • Added alternative graphics for holes.
  • Changed Twitter links to Bluesky. Come say hi!
  • Fixed several translation typos and minor bugs.


Finally, with the year coming to a close I'd like to thank each and every one of you for checking out my game! While the games industry is going through rough times, this has been a huge year for me and large parts of that come down to the, overall moderate but personally very significant, success of Rack and Slay (who's willing to help push past 400 reviews btw? 😝).

Not least thanks to your feedback, the game evolved throughout dozens of patches, multiple content updates, post-release ports to macOS and Nintendo Switch, as well as localization to support a total of 7 languages. This is way beyond what I imagined when I started working on this a little more than 2 years ago. So once again: THANK YOU, it means the world! 🙏

All the best and enjoy the holidays,
Fabian
