Slot(h)s
A downloadable game for Windows
What is Slot(h)s?
Slot(h)s is a Single Player Auto-battle game featuring casino machines, evil clocks and beautiful Sloths made for Wowie! Jam 3.0
What does Auto-battle game mean?
It's a game genre where you collect your "army" of units and place them on the board, then they fight with other units without your inputs, hence "auto" in the name. Famous examples are TFT or Auto-Chess.
Was this game made just to make the Sloths/Slots Machine joke?
Yes.
How does Slot(h)s fits the jam topic?
Base idea of auto-battlers is that you have to calculate when it's worth to lose in order to grow stronger, and here it's cranked up a bit because losing streaks net you more coins than winning streaks, and XP is given to player automatically only for losing rounds. So.. failure is progress!
What engine was this game made with?
Unreal Engine 4.24.3
Are those beautiful Sloths drawn by you?
Those beautiful Sloths were custom made for this game by Kirulec
This is a jam game, did you make everything from scratch?
Partially, We've used pre-existing UE4 templates, some basic UE shapes and pre-made music/sounds (see credits for more info).
My game is broken/I can't start next fight.
Please scroll down to the comments for possible solutions, I've posted info about known issues there. I'm really sorry, but we overscoped a bit and technical aspect of the game is more-less in a prototype state.
I love this game, are you planning on updating it post jam?
Maybe.
I love this game are there any other games that You've made?

FYI There are some known issues:
FIGHTS NOT ENDING: (partial fix: Press R on your keyboard - it will force the fight to end)
Rather minor case: Sometimes enemy spawned on right side of the board can be immortal
or
More severe case: one of your units disappeared after dying in fight. It is still counted towards max sloths on board, and fights don't end. - sadly this was a big oversight and there's nothing much to do at this point. You can still use the "R" method but the game is potentially broken after this issue occurs. To prevent the above from happening, whenever you see that your unit is MOVING or ATTACKING while fight isn't happening, try to move it around the board until it stops OR get it off board and sell it if it's not to valuable for you, this SHOULD prevent those issues from happening.
I'm sorry for those issues, hope the game will still be enjoyable dispite them.
