- Grid Slayer 1.1 - 28 March 2022
- Added Endless Mode! Test your skills to the limit and see how far you can go before either you or the game breaks. You can still earn Slayer Points in this mode so it serves as a valid alternative to the original 'Classic' mode. - Besides Endless Mode, the aim of this update is to consolidate and improve on what we released at 1.0. We have a lot of bug fixes this update and the game has become very stable since 1.0. You can read about these in more detail in the small updates since launch. Balance changes: Removed the 'Channel' Enchant. The King now has more base HP to make the first go at the boss a bit more climactic. Infinite draw combos should now be much harder to achieve. Plus lot more and updating as I get feedback. Some quality of life improvements including a nicer highlighter for Tiles. The next update will add a whole bunch of new Cards, Enchants, Enemies and more, based on…

I am proud to announce that Grid Slayer will be leaving Early Access on February 2nd 2022, 2/2/2022. The game is so much better off thanks to your feedback and guidance during Early Access.

I'm Otis Miller the developer of Grid Slayer. We're a small capital 'I' Indie studio comprised of myself and my wife Maly who does the art. We also have Mike Panayiotis who is doing some great music for Grid Slayer. I'm from London, UK and I currently live in Tenerife, Spain with Maly and our two cats. We also made Blacksmith and Human Factory, which are also available on Steam. It's been an amazing ride learning to make games over the last 5 years and I'm very happy to share anything I've learnt with anyone who asks. If you want to learn more about Grid Slayer, or game development, or maybe you're a budding developer looking for inspiration, please join us for this AMA.
