Endhall is a byte sized roguelike. Become an artificial intelligence and combine tactical actions to defeat your enemies and reach the end of the hallway.

My first steam release is live!

Everyone check out Benjamin’s game! He’s been putting out quality games and gamedev tutorial content for a while now and Endhall is the result of many months of work on his part.

You can also buy Endhall on itch.io: https://uheartbeast.itch.io/endhall

If youre not going to be updating here (reasonable) will you at least preserve what IS here and/or/ keep any posts you've already made from being wiped?

Hi, anon, thanks for the question.

I don’t currently plan to take the blog down, and will probably keep on posting as usual. I’ve just been posting my twitter handle so those who are leaving the site will have another way to find me.

Hyper Light Drifter. Also good.

Glad I bought and played both this holiday weekend. :)
