Pool, But You Can Upgrade Your Balls

Rack and Slay Part 1 - the first pool or billiards roguelike I've seen. Defeat unique pool balls, gain broken abilities, and upgrade your cue ball for maximum destruction. It's even more fun than I expected!

Hey, thank you so much for showcasing my little game! I'm so glad you're having a good time with! Watching this was an absolute blast! :D

[@wollywog42]

I’ve watched a few videos on this game so far and it looks great! I plan on giving it a shot when I finish building my PC. are you planning on any updates for the game in the future or is this the final release?

[@cg7407]

This game looks absolutely awesome, though it appears some of the cards may need a rarity tweaking 😂
I'll be looking forward to your future progress on it ❤❤❤

[@Ludokultur]

@@wollywog42 I'm down to do as many updates as the game's success allows honestly. It's super expandable and I love working on it. Already did a bunch of quality-of-life and bugfix updates during launch week, but once the most immediate issues are done, I'll look into more content, maybe some kind of endless mode etc.

[@Ludokultur]

@@cg7407 Fun fact: There are no rarities. I deliberately wanted to to just have everything combine wildly with everything. Certainly doesn't make the balancing easier, but I personally enjoy playing with this model a lot! :D

[@Akita23]

Real talk I saw thumbnail and title and I've watched enough Tyler that I got the game straight up. Cheap price, and excited to see what it's like before I play for myself tonight. GL dev :)

[@OmikronTitan]

Key gets you a free item in the shop and hitting the chest spawns a coin.

[@Bolt_Chaser]

Chest: opens
Tyler: ah, I need a key

[@yuridhjeeyn9034]

had fun watching
you had a few misconceptions
1- keys don't open chests, they give one extra free item in the shop
2- you open chests by rolling into them, they can then spawn a money-pickup on the map
if you are unsure how an object (like a chest) works you can hover over it to get a tooltip

You can always trust Tyler when it comes to *balls* .

[@Dylan52meow]

I always appreciate the editing flairs to highlight what you're talking about. Keep it up bro. Been watching ever since the Bloons era!

[@kraykyle]

What's next, Uno but you can upgrade your cards? Ice Hockey but you can get bonuses and upgrades? Poker but your cards become more versatile? Wait these are actually solid ideas. Moral of the Story: Make something a roguelike and it becomes better

[@roseroy5041]

I think the poker one is already a thing but I might be mistaking with a similar card game.

[@sw3aterCS_]

Blackjack, I think it was

[@johnlynch1353]

Balatro kinda is like the poker one.

Rule 34 of the internet: If it exists,
there's a roguelike version of it. You thought I was gonna say something else, didn't you?
If not, make a roguelike version of it.

Rule 43: If it exists, there's a roguelite version of it.

[@owlboy1-719]

Just a note To Tyler in case he reads comments the chest spawns a coin when it gets hit the key gives you an extra item in the shop and items that have a % chance to activate flash at the top in your item menu when they Will activate, also, you spawn an item every run

[@Lethalcompanyfan]

The opening made me think: "this wont be on rule 34, this will be on pool 34"

[@ronanh.9261]

Yes I would like to see more!

[@ruvensanguir47]

I love this game. Please, please do play it more!

[@JeffMakesGames]

You don't need a key for the treasure chests. 7:56
If you or any ball hits a chest, it will randomly spawn a coin somewhere. (Rare chance it may spawn gem instead of coin.)

[@daviddevries5792]

Nice balls Tyler

It kinda makes me think of pool panic (an adventure puzzle game where you have to push different balls with powers into the holes in less movement as possible).
