🔧 Final update (for now) is live for Raid the Abyss!

Following some great feedback from Ludum Dare 57, we’ve rolled out a last patch with:

⚖️ Balance adjustments

🐛 Bugfixes

⚙️ QoL settings

📱 Touchscreen support (mobile-friendly!)

We’re shifting gears back to prototype asset development on our main project—but Raid the Abyss has potential and an ambitious dev roadmap. Whether it stays a side project or becomes a higher priority depends on interest.

🎯 If the concept sparks your creativity and you’re interested in contributing, reach out. We’d love to hear from you.

We just wrapped up our Ludum Dare entry — Raid the Abyss — a top-down fantasy hack n’ slash built in about a week and a half for #LD57 (Extra format).

Knights vs. orcs, layered abyss, escalating bosses. Two modes: Endless and Score Attack. Built to prototype systems for our main project—melee, procedural maps, and a dynamic minimap.

You can try it in-browser (if it runs well for you), or grab the .exe for the full experience: https://staticleapstudios.itch.io/raid-the-abyss
