What is Rack and Slay?
You play a billiard ball in a top-down roguelike dungeon crawler, aiming shots to knock monster balls into holes while navigating traps and randomly generated levels. Between levels, you draft stackable items; runs range from a full dungeon crawl to a single-level raid, with higher difficulty settings to tackle.
For you if...
- +you like short runs with a choice of lengths
- +you enjoy aiming billiards shots as tactical combat
- +you want difficulty settings to work through
Not for you if...
- −you want multiplayer rather than a solo game
- −you prefer fixed layouts over randomly generated levels
What players say
