Slay the Beast is a versus fighting game where one player controls a huge boss-level monster. While the other player controls a puny (but respawning) hero.
This is an early PRE-ALPHA version of the game. This means that it is very far from feature complete. It is not representative of the final product. As development continues, this game will continue to be updated and have new features added regularly.
This version of Slay the Beast supports up to 4 players in a match between a heroic Knights and a powerful Archdemon.

hmm, there's a bug or glitch when ever I get to be the knight I cant seem to move left or right. I get stuck and if I don't move my character doesn't appear
I've just uploaded a new build that MIGHT address your problem. (I fixed the knock-back problem I mentioned, but I'm not sure if that's the source of your trouble or not.)
Anyway, if you're interested, the build should be available at the following link once the mods approve it:

Thanks for the heads-up.
Do you have any more details on when and how often the bug occurs? For example, does it happen when you're knocked to the edge of the screen by the demon's attack?
Also, how is the game's performance on your computer? I've noticed that my knock-back logic is highly framerate-dependent (which is a bug), so that might be related to seeing odd behavior.
Man, whenever I start the game up (it loads fine at the menu)every time I pick 1v1 or 2v1 and the others the game goes black and crashes and it gives me no error of why its happening, can someone please help me with this, this game looks great and I really want to play it
Well, I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you yet, but I'm literally working on fixing that crash right now.
I've found that (on my main computer)that the bug only seems to occur when I have two controllers plugged in. If I unplug one it works. I don't think the bug is tied to input handling per se, but I think it has to due with some subtle processing timing that (in my case) is changed by the number of controllers I have plugged in.
You might try plugging/unplugging different devices or, if you're using a laptop, unplug the laptop (since many laptops lower their CPU speed when not plugged in.)
I know it's not a great solution, but rest assured that I'm working on fixing the crash. Sorry for the trouble.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! You fixed it.
Oh ok thanks, I really hope you fix it soon
Okay, I think I might have a fix for that crash.
I've uploaded a new version of the game (version 0.0.7).
You can get it at this link once the mods approve the download: Indiedb.com
Tried out the game. It's really something I would like expanded upon and polished,but the core is solid :)
Covered it in a video, if your interested.
Youtube.com
If not just keep up the great work :)
Hey man, thanks for the coverage.
I especially liked your commentary for the Archdemon while you were playing. Maybe I should give it a "Talk Smack" action. ;)
Again, thanks for the coverage and stay tuned for future updates.
