Our take on Hack & Schlitz
Rather than presenting room difficulty as a fixed setting, the game lets players choose how challenging the next room will be. That choice links risk to potential score and coin rewards within a randomly generated dungeon run.
What is Hack & Schlitz?
Hack & Schlitz is an arcade roguelike set in a pixel-style 2D dungeon with randomly generated runs.
At the start of each room, choose its difficulty: harder rooms offer more score and coins, while easier rooms are safer and carry a lower chance of losing a heart. Fight slimes and try to post a high score on the Steam leaderboards. The room-by-room difficulty choice gives players a way to weigh potential rewards against the risk of losing health as a run continues.
