Hello again. Some users were reporting issues playing our latest Linux builds. We haven't been able to replicate the problem, so we've tried generating new builds from a different development machine. Hopefully, this should fix the issues. Also, since this Linux build has been generated from our most recent development code, it comes with a few changes and improvements. The most evident ones are that we now display our publisher's and aheartfulofgames' logos at the start of the game. Also, to adhere to console requirements, we have removed the PRESS START text. We're very sorry, but having that co-exist with the console development would have been a considerable headache. And, for the same reasons, cinematics can now be skipped pressing any button. This change is quite minor. If Linux builds still fail to run, please get in contact with us. We've tested them on a Debian Stretch machine.

Heart&Slash is a 3D brawler that is set in a world where machines are all that remains from the Human civilization.

You play as Heart, an innocent robot fighting to escape the grip of the evil and all seeing machine QuAsSy (Quality Assurance Systems).

But make no mistake Heart&Slash is a hard game. Every death is permanent and means a new randomly generated level for you to start over with a different set of weapons and items you can use, new enemies to fight and secrets to explore.

Heart&Slash is an indie game developed by a small but passionate team. We have a tiny budget but big hearts, and we are giving it all to make this game (our first) the best we can.

Features (on final release):
-3 worlds to explore and fight in. Each world includes its unique enemies an bosses.
-Dozens of different weapons and equipment pieces (more than 100 in total) to customize Heart and your play style.
-Perma-death, but a persistent progression system that gives you more options as you play the game.

We hope you enjoy Heart&Slash as much as we enjoy making it!

Welcome!
