Week 1 Update — Slots & Daggers News

[p align="start"]Hey everyone!

[p align="start"]Friedemann here 👋

It’s officially been one week since launch, and I still can’t quite believe how wild this first week has been. Thank you all for playing, sharing feedback, and helping me make Slots & Daggers better! ❤️

[p align="start"]Today’s update brings some early new gameplay features to the game's default branch that improve balancing.

[p align="start"]A lot of you mentioned that certain item combinations (especially the ones focussing heavily on re-spinning) can make the game a little too easy. Instead of just nerfing those items (boring), I’ve been working on new enemy actions that counter those powerful builds and make fights more dynamic and interesting.

[p align="start"]This update introduces:

Symbol cursing (some enemies curse one of the symbols on your wheels, disabling it for the rest of the fight -> encourages strategies with more than 3 symbols)
Aggro meter (some enemies have an “aggro” bar that fills up with every re-spin of the wheels, triggering an interruption of the player turn when it’s full)
Fixes for some rare cases where the game would soft lock
Fixed a rare issue that would corrupt & reset the save file & crash the game
Various very minor balancing adjustments

[p align="start"]These gameplay additions are meant to keep things interesting, still allowing respin combos to be quite powerful, but not completely OP.

[p align="start"]Once you’ve had a chance to try it, please share your feedback here or in the discussions, it’s been super valuable so far and I’m reading everything. Would love to hear what you think! <3

Thanks again for the amazing first week, so happy to have such a lovely community around this game! 🎰🖤

[p align="start"]Cheers, Friedemann
