Slammers

It's dusk. The streetlight just buzzed on. Somebody chalked a circle on the asphalt, and MILO wants to play for keeps.

SLAMMERS is a physics roguelite about the most serious game ever played before dinner: stack the chips, slam your slammer, and every chip that flips is yours forever — or his. No dice. No take-backs. The circle decides.

Stake chips from your binder into the pot. Call the toss — a real coin, really flipped. Then throw: tip your slammer's attitude, set your aim, and ride the power curve to the top of the swing. Release perfect and it comes down WHITE HOT, burning up on re-entry. And when it bounces back off the pot — tap the top of the bounce for SECONDS!, a spiked second impact. Flub the timing and your slammer dies on the court, and you feed a chip to the pot.

Beat the sidewalk and the neighborhood gets bigger. Thirteen rivals across four acts, and every one of them plays by their own house rules:

• THE CHEATER nudges the pot after you commit. ("what? i didn't touch nothin'.")
• THE PRINCIPAL rings the bell early — and keeps everything still on his desk.
• JOYSTICK chains combo streaks that hit harder until you break one.
• KNUCKLES takes a dollar of juice off every chip you flip. His backroom has a drain. Chips that settle on the drain are gone. Not his. Not yours. Gone.
• THE MAYOR vetoes your first flip of every match.
• THE PRESIDENT has never lost a coin toss. It's classified why.
• And then the lights in the cornfield show up, and the game goes somewhere pogs were never meant to go. Bring your best binder. THE ENGINE is waiting at the final court, and IT REBUILDS THE STACK.

Between matches, spend your Lunch Money at the corner store: singles off the wall, rumors about the next boss, and blind bags with eleven finishes hiding inside — HOLO, STATIC, X-RAY backs that tell the truth, lenticular MAGIC MOTION, die-cast METAL, and more. Every chip in your binder remembers where it came from and what it survived.

Win it all and you're King of the Court. Lose and they take everything. Even the binder rings.

Best played on a phone, one thumb, like nature intended. Works offline — the whole game is one file.
