History
How it Happened
Slug Slasher started its life during the spring of 2017 as a project within Indiana University's student-run game development club Hoosier Games.
The team's three core members have continued development, aiming to release the game during the summer of 2018.
Appearing at Indy PopCon 2017, the 2018 Game Developers Conference, and the 2018 Midwest Gaming Classic, Slug Slasher has received a very positive response
from players of all ages and skill levels. Few can resist the game's ridiculous, over-the-top charm and the sheer satisfaction of defeating hordes of enemies with an arsenal of salt-based attacks.
