| 100K Copies Sold & What's Next | 2025-11-03 | Hey everyone! Friedemann here 👋It’s been 10 days since launch, and I’m still completely blown away! Slots & Daggers has now sold over 100,000 copies!! Eggo says thank you!That is a surreal number for a solo dev like me. Thank you all so much for playing, sharing your thoughts, and helping make the game better! Really appreciate you ❤️Roll-back of the Aggro Stop HandI’ve decided to dial back the “aggro stop-hand” mechanic a bit, a lot of you found it frustrating and after thinking it over I agree. The mechanic is now present for way fewer enemies and has a higher respin-limit before the hand appears. I’ve completely removed the stop mechanic |
| Week 1 Update | 2025-10-31 | Hey everyone!Friedemann here 👋It’s officially been one week since launch, and I still can’t quite believe how wild this first week has been. Thank you all for playing, sharing feedback, and helping me make Slots & Daggers better! ❤️Today’s update brings some early new gameplay features to the game's default branch that improve balancing.A lot of you mentioned that certain item combinations (especially the ones focussing heavily on re-spinning) can make the game a little too easy. Instead of just nerfing those items (boring), I’ve been working on new enemy actions that counter those powerful builds and make fights more dynamic and interesting |

| Day 3 Update | 2025-10-27 | Hey everyone!Friedemann here 👋Day 3! Launch weekend is over, but things are still going strong. Again: Thank you all so much, it’s been such an amazing launch! ❤️I’ve been taking it a little slower today to recover from the launch weekend (and catch up on sleep 😅), but I still managed to push a small patch (go to settings and check if the version says 1.0.8 in the upper right hand corner) with a few fixes:(hopefully) fixed an issue that would freeze the game if your computer crashed during a previous session (if you’ve been affected by this, please let me know if this update fixed it!)Arena Mode score counter now shows K & M formats when yo |
| Day 2 Update | 2025-10-26 | Hey everyone!Friedemann here 👋Day 2 and things are still absolutely wild! Thank you for playing, recommending, leaving reviews, feedback, bug reports and messages about Eggo.

| Thank You & Hotfix | 2025-10-24 | Hey everyone! Friedemann here 👋The launch of Slots & Daggers has completely blown me away! Thank you all for playing, sharing, and sending me kind words. It means the world. ♥️Some of you mentioned that once you hit the mid game, things can get a bit too easy and a few of you have found game-breaking loadouts (💀💎💿, if you know you know). I want this game to be accessible, but maybe I oversteered a bit in that direction.So I’ve put together a hotfix to rebalance the mid and late game and make fights a little more intense.The update’s live on the Public Beta branch.
