Major update

1.5.0 is Live!

kill -9 Version 1.5 is here!

  • Ranked Matches

  • New Bosses

  • Roguelite Mode

  • Leaderboards/Lineage

1. Ranking!

Steam leaderboards are now integrated, allowing us to have a ranking of the deadliest decks. How does ranking work? After winning your first run, you'll unlock ranked mode.

(If you won a run before the patch, it's already unlocked, but legacy decks don't participate in New Game+/ranked.)


2. Boss Change!

Defining the final boss has been a tough task since the beginning of the game. At first, I went for the easy route (mirror match like Mortal Kombat, but with fewer fatalities: 0).

This didn't work very well for various reasons (HP difference, daemons, overclocking, etc.).

For a while, we've been evaluating what to do with the final boss... until we found a solution.

The final boss was changed, and four processes were installed that will be in "Friends and Family" for a while, replacing the "mirrorMatch" process.

What does each one do? Well... go and try to destroy them; I don't want to spoil the surprise.


Executive summary requested by my boss (hehehe):

Out: Strict MirrorMatch

In: 4 possible final bosses, collect them all and destroy them.


3. New Game + (Roguelite)!!

Along with the new bosses comes the possibility of continuing a deck's meteoric rise.

You can play a new run by selecting a previous deck, creating a new generation.

You can improve your decks to perfection.

The best SUDO is the one that gets things done. The best kill is the -9." - Shang Tsu, Basic BASIC. New mechanic! SHORTAGE. Tired of your rivals always having just enough redundancy to dodge your attacks? Tired of not landing a single measly point of damage while you're holding the command that generates damage exponentially? Tired in general? SHOR…
