I have been waiting for this to launch in early access for at least a year, and surprised I haven't seen anyone here talking about it. Quick pitch is slay the spire progression, but peggle gameplay. Hitting pegs builds up damage, and when the ball goes off the bottom of the screen you deal that damage to incoming enemies. Relics modify gameplay, and you get different types of orbs.

They have 3 stages so far in early access which isn't a lot but it's manageable to get a full run in about 20 minutes.

Anyone else checked it out yet?

Oh man, thanks for letting us know. Played a bit and really enjoyed it (on a website called Trail, which I'm just learning about). Definitely gonna get it.

@chango: What is Trail? There's a steam demo for anyone who wants to check it out.

@alistercat: I've been meaning to try this since I saw Mary playing it! Will give the demo a whirl for sure.

I really like it so far, but am going to wait for some more updates before I tap back in. I think it needs a few balance patches because some of these bosses seem impossible without an exact type of ball to toss. I could also be bad at it though.

@noboners: Yeah, I'm not sure how balancing is going to go. The right bomb build makes the game completely trivial but people are already upset that they're taking away fun, powerful builds.

@alistercat: yeah I would definitely prefer they beef up some of the other builds as opposed to negating the most powerful ones (which is what it seems like is currently being done). But it's still relatively early, and the core loop is fantastic.
