Slash or Die
Release of SOD2 + My Birthday = Good mood !!!
I'm a young, but soon 30-year-old indie developer.
On the agenda, I have two grand events:
1. Release of the new game (Slash or Die 2)
2. My birthday
In this regard ... I would like to talk about my work and thank everyone.
Since we are all friends here, I do not want to write a story officially!
Can I?
Thank you))))
Let's go!
The way to indie-dev originates from the game Slash or Die.
I had high hopes for this game. I left a good position of a manager, work for 14-16 hours a day"looking only at the monitor screen".
And you know what? It was the best thing I did in my life.
I just did it.
I have tried many creative professions: I wrote music, poetry, learned to draw, rapped, opened the YouTube channel.
But nothing had last more than half a year.
And here, I feel that finally I can sit for 15 hours at the computer and at the same time say that I'm working))))))
Although it is killing the health totally. So DO NOT REPEAT - Fatal...
And here after two years from the moment of the beginning of my way.
Such projects have seen the light as:
SOD - No comments
EvilMorph - A game in the same universe with SOD, but we play for not quite a good hero, but simply help a less bad one to return his throne.
TailWind - The game that appeared thanks to my wife. She told me: "How log can you do hardcore only, do something nice for once ...", and I made a story about a very coward prince who went on a trip on a ship to gain courage and find his love.
And of course SOD2 - No comments, but I will say so "I left all the best from the first part, and revised and improved everything that was not best".
The task of almost any game is to get from point A to point B.
The question arises: "How will the player do so and which mechanics will he use?"
So, as I have an engineering mentality, I try to put new gameplay chips into each new game. This is exactly what I'm working on first.
Many people will say that this is wrong. This is their opinion!)
The ideal game is when aesthetics, mechanics, technology and history give a whole picture.
In large projects the whole team is working on it - Writers, artists, etc.
And when you start alone - do what you can do best!
If you put your heart in the project and believe in it, you can "put others on fire".
During 2 years of work I built up a team.
I'd like to thank following guys:
Artist - Pavel Shakhov.
Translator - Korobov Nikita.
Musician - HateBit.
And thanks to everyone who plays my games! I make them for you!
Happy Birthday to me! And Happy Birthday Slash or Die 2!
I look forward to receive your feedback and comments!
New Game "Tailwind"
Thank you for playing our games.
Again, I have some important news!!!
My new THIRD project Tailwind has been released.
I'd like you to have an eye on the trailer.
Warning!!!
It has different style compared to Slash or Die, which was made with a note of insanity, in a dark pixel style, with pixel music and death, death and death of the hero.
And Tailwind is a nice mild tactical puzzle at first sight.
Calm music. New lovely characters.
Peaceful story.
And I have mastered the creation of tutorial AT LAST!
I have become smarter in developing the story.
Hooray! There is an intrigue!
And the main thing is...
I still adhere to the canon in my games.
ALL OF THEM WILL BE HARD!!!
So go ahead! Help Elric to reach his target!

Best regards, ClickGames!

Thank you again.
Sincerely yours,ClickGames Team
Delayed 28% birthday discount.
I wish you all good and hard game.
Happy game developer's birthday!
On 14th of July 1988. I was born and started to investigate this incredible world.
But most of investigations did not matter.
Until...
Until I found myself in game development and organization of this process.
It was difficult but inexpressibly fun.
I am very glad I forged my path.
And I wish the same to all of you.
The main thing is to find something that will be truly interesting despite all the difficulties.
I really appreciate your help and support. You gave me a real confidence boost in realising that I am doing good job.
Thank you for playing or for a desire to play my game.
I really appreciate it.
On the occasion of my 28th birthday I wanted to launch 2-week sale, as you understand, with 28% price reduction.
But unfortunately Steam prohibited to do so...
Because of recent release date.
But at least I can make a present for you that consists of soundtracks that caught fancy of many players.
OST are available for download by following link.
Again thank you my friends. And good luck.
Version 1.09
In this update I took a dark side again.
So that following features were added:
Added:
1. New enemy. Zombie-bomb
This character’s objective is to make you plan your impact path even more accurately.
Watch out!!! It is explosive…
2. New enemy: Elemental
This enemy is intended to make you plan your impact path even more accurately and to limit your movement.
As if a splinter of wizard yelds fruits…
3. New enemy: Assasin
This enemy’s objective is to make you die more often…
- Did you see him?
- No!
- But he is there!
4. New enemy: Golem
This enemy’s objective is to show that there is an armor that is harder than your weapon.
- Is that what you call a hit?
- Here is a real hit.
5. Added a full-featured 4th level
Fixed:
1. Ghosts and Shield bearers now have a 30% chance to block attack (instead of 50%)
2. Slowed down animation of Lych attack
3. Rebuilt an engine of displaying enemy health (now it is more pretty to look at)
4. Fixed text errors.
5. Fixed graphic errors and program bugs.
And the main thing is:
In this large update rebalance was performed.

To fully reset progress press N on a language select screen.
I wish you all nice weekend and uneasy game!

Version 1.05
Dear friends. In this update I took a dark side.
I was afraid that after you become masters in slaying archers wizards will be felt just similar but with different appearance.
That is why update will bring you:
Gameplay:
1. Attack of wizard is not blocked by hero attack (it was already done, I just want to outline it)
2. Wizards now have first hit defense. No matter what damage you make first attack will only break their defense.
3. New type of wizard:
- Appears on level 2-2 and higher
- Does not attack hero
- Changes ground into quicksand – when stepping on quicksand hero loses speed to a level lower than 1.
4. two archers were added to a party of second boss. Fixed performance of his second half. Now it will be much more difficult for you to defeat him.)
Graphic and effects:
Disabled appearance of two dialogue windows on pressing ESC after death.
Now character choice is made not only by clicking on his picture, but on the whole box.
Fixed unnoticeable but critical bugs that made me mad (as a developer).
Some information about next update "Survival":
1. Access to game mode is granted after killing second boss
2. You have one life
3. You have unlimited staina
4. New hero with his own attack style
5. Steam leader board
I'd like to share some information:
During greenlight and testing of hero abilities Coub was recorded which is still enjoyable for me:
