- Price Drop and New Bundle Option! - 27 October 2014
Hey guys, as you may have noticed, Hack n Slash has a new lower price and bundle option to celebrate today's release of Spacebase DF9. It's fitting, as these games shared a journey from our community-voted Amnesia Fortnight game jam, to being funded by Indie Fund and friends, to becoming Steam Early Access titles, and now being finished games. So if you haven't already grabbed Hack n Slash, you can now do so for the lower price of $13.37 or as a bundle with Spacebase DF9 and both games' soundtracks at $24.99. And as a token of our appreciation to those who supported these games early, anyone who already owns Hack n Slash will be getting a copy of Spacebase for free and vice versa. ENJOY!!

Woohoo, we just won the big Grand Jury award at Indiecade!! Thanks so much to you the community for helping make the game what it is today. It's a super weird one and the feedback and support you lent us during Early Access was key to the game's success. Hopefully this will help bring some more folks into the game and the world of programming and lead to more crazy mods in the workshop community!

- Hack 'n' Slash 1.0 - 9 September 2014
And we’re live! We’re very proud to be shipping the full release of Hack ‘n’ Slash. When I had the weird idea for a game about hacking and pitched it during Amnesia Fortnight in 2012, I had no idea the concept would excite so many people, and I certainly didn't expect that we’d get to turn it into a full game. The Early Access community has been a huge help to the game as well; you all provided fantastic feedback and found really clever ways to break the game. This game wouldn't have been possible without all of you. Final Dungeon The biggest change from the Early Access version is the inclusion of the final act. This is where my favorite puzzles and mechanics are introduced: you’ll have to use the knowledge you've developed throughout the game and some clever thinking to break into the castle, ascend the tower, and take down the wizard. It won’t be easy, though; the castle is designed…
