Free [itch.io] game by Slay the Spire developer

Open

If there was already a post on this (and one that wasn't miscategorized as a Deal or Puzzle or some nonsense) that I happened to miss when I looked for one, do please politely let me know and I'll close up the thread and leave the slain potatoes for the Farmer Against Potatoes idle game (yes, that's a real thing on Steam. Not necessarily recomending it, mind [it's a disorganized mess of mostly disconnected idle systems], but it is free and easy to try out if the idea of potato slaying is that appealing to you.)

Announcement:

Dancing Duelists, a Jammin' Game Jam Game from Mega Crit is Available Now!


Get ready to rumble to the rhythm in Dancing Duelists, a deckbuilding autobattler dance off with a cast of fantastical characters and a BUMPIN' soundtrack!

Due to recent events, the Mega Crit team has been looking for an engine to migrate our next big game to from Unity, so we've been working on this little game for a few weeks now to acquaint ourselves with Godot, our new official engine of choice! It also just so happens to coincide with the Jump Ship Jam, an event that encourages game developers to branch out and create something with new engines & tools!

We're super proud of how this project turned out in such a small timeframe, and we'd love for you to check it out!

You can download Dancing Duelists now for free on itchi.io here!

(Note that comments on itch.io are in agreement that the game is buggy and unbalanced, but they seem to agree that it's fun enough to try despite that.)

Yes!
Nope.
Yes to the whole genre and related genres!
I work and/or live up several flights of stairs, I'm more used to spires slaying me..
Do you mean potato spire? Now that's a spire that totally slays! Rawr!
More like "Slay the Continued Unity Development", huh?

(Please comment if taken, so I can remove them from my key list.)

I also have a key for Prismata (as with Minion Masters, a free game that should drop cards with key) by request.

Because they want to share access to the game for those interested, but they don't want to pay the Steam listing fee for a barely-finished casual project (I think it's like $300?). It's also a way of letting people know they're moving on to Godot and starting on development of a new game, so it potentially serves a marketing purpose in generating early interest from their (rather large number of) preestablished fans, as well.

Developers also generally view platform divisions less firmly than a lot of (mostly Steam-fixated) gamers do, and most Steam publishers post news about anything and everything related to their company that they can (except, in the case of some publishers, the things we actually want them to), so it's not like this is abberant or unexpected behavior on the part of a developer like Mega Crit, either.

That all said, on a tangental note, itch.io's established enough by now that they really need to get around to updating their layout to make the site more accessible and desirable for gamers to pay attention to..
