Thanks for checking it out! Definitely would love to add a leaderboard if we do anything more with it, and maybe have more options for changing how you navigate, move through spikes, etc.

I am VERY bad at this game but the premise and atmosphere are great! I think with some work on the difficulty side you have something really unique on your hands. IMO the main thing I'd personally enjoy is being able to better lock in letters, as right now it feels extra hard to lock them in place. Maybe bonus points for combining them with floating ones, higher score for letters that are still mid-air? Regardless, cool stuff!

After two years of development, we're thrilled to bring you our 80's dark fantasy slash'em up SLAUGHTER VOID! An unholy blend of influences including Gauntlet, Hotline Miami, and Diablo, it's blisteringly fast and highly lethal. Rampage through levels as a barbarian with your weapons and relic of choice and strive for a spot on the leaderboards as you cleave your way through a goddess' dying dream to preserve what remains of the world.
While the demo is downloadable on itch, leaderboards are only functional through Steam, which you can get here.
As a small team of two people, every wishlist and demo review we get helps us a ton; we hope you enjoy your time in the Void! (it will likely involve a lot of dying)
