- The Bleakest Keep Announcement - 23 September 2024
I'm announcing my new game! The Bleakest Keep! Please check out the store page and add the game to your Steam Wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3231520/The_Bleakest_Keep/ Watch the teaser trailer: To celebrate the announcement of The Bleakest Keep, Slay the Minotaur is on discount this week! The Bleakest Keep is a lot like Slay the Minotaur but with its own twist. The Bleakest Keep is a dark fantasy action roguelike. This time you must slay a multitude of horrors as you climb your way to the top of the tower to kill a dark wizard. For The Bleakest Keep, I wanted to lean more into horror. A lot of players found Slay the Minotaur to be pretty frightening, so I want to make this game feels a bit more spooky in atmosphere as well as gameplay. Not really terrifying, but I do hope to scare you a little bit! I also want this game to be more random. Slay the Minotaur had plenty of ra…

Please check out the store page and add the game to your Steam Wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3231520/The_Bleakest_Keep/ Watch the teaser trailer: The Bleakest Keep is a dark fantasy action roguelike similar to Slay the Minotaur.

A lot of players found Slay the Minotaur to be pretty frightening, so I want to make this game feel a bit more spooky in atmosphere as well as gameplay. Probably not terrifying, but I do hope to scare you a little bit! I also want this game to be more random. Slay the Minotaur had plenty of randomness, but it was also purposely not as random as a lot of other roguelikes. I don't want to share too much yet, but I am trying out diff…
- Slay the Minotaur | Summer Outfits! - 27 June 2024
This is a tiny update that adds 2 new unlockable outfits and fixes some bugs! Thanks for playing! New Added unlockable summer outfits for Aphrodite and the Minotaur! Changes Asterion's Spare Axe's description has been updated. Bug Fixes Fixed level 2 gorgons and cyclopes having their increased speed disabled after talking with Aphrodite. Fixed restarting from the pause menu failing to reset the amount of times you were hit from your previous attempt. Fixed Temporary Statue spawning on top of Drop of Nectar when both are bought from the same shop. Hitting pause should now close item descriptions. While Bottle Acceleration was active, using the Horn of Asterion and equipping another item while the horn was active could remove the newly equipped item instead of the horn. This has been fixed.
- Slay the Minotaur | Second Major Update Bug Fixes! - 22 May 2024
This is just a tiny patch that fixes some bugs! Thanks for playing! Bug Fixes and Changes If you have fast restart and remember recent names enabled, you can restart an attempt in the pause menu. Your camera settings will save between attempts. Asterion's Spare Axe and the Spear of Ares Invincibility when using special attack decreased. This change is more noticeable when using the Spear of Ares. Brightened some areas of the labyrinth. Fixed the Cyclops Slayer and Gorgon Slayer achievements activating while playing Endless Mode. Second Patch Bug Fixes Right after releasing the first patch I discovered a serious bug when you restocking the store. As long as you had at least 250 pearls you could restock the store. This could even give you a negative amount of pearls. This has now been fixed! I'm planning on adding at least one more outfit for both Aphrodite and the Minotaur at a later dat…

THE SECOND UPDATE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BggsCw-OTDI If you want to help support me and my game, the best thing you can do is subscribe to my YouTube channel, follow me on Twitter, and leave a review on Steam! Although this might be the last Slay the Minotaur content update, this does help me continue to work on new games! I also want to say thanks for playing! Even though I keep saying this is probably the last content update, it is still possible I may return to work on the game again, but don't expect another major content update to happen unless I say I am definitely working on one! I'm very happy with how much content the game offers right now, and I think everything is in a good place. Now, because this may be the last Slay the Minotaur update, the best place to know what I do next will be to follow on YouTube and Twitter. So if you love the game and want to know what co…

Please remember that some of the things I talk about may never be added to the game. I just want to share some things I am testing and what is likely to be in this upcoming update. Endless Waves Endless Waves is what it sounds like. You fight enemies in waves, and the more waves you complete, the more challenging they become! This mode is pretty simple and is a good way to try out different gear combi…
- Slay the Minotaur | First Major Update Bug Fixes! - 5 April 2024

- Slay the Minotaur | First Major Update! - 1 April 2024
BIG UPDATE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYe_ZxAbQRQ This update is adding some brand new features and improvements! Before getting to the patch notes, if you’re already playing the game and want to help support it further, the best thing you can do is subscribe to my YouTube channel, follow on Twitter, and leave a review on Steam! These 3 things help out the most when it comes to helping the game grow. YouTube and Twitter are great places for me to give updates on Slay the Minotaur and whatever else I make! If you follow any YouTubers or Streamers who you think would be interested in the game and they take suggestions, please suggest Slay the Minotaur to them! After this update, I want to release at least one more. I'll share some ideas below. However, if the game continues to do well, it is likely I will update it further. New Random Mode added.

- Slay the Minotaur | Major Update Preview - 19 March 2024
I'm working on an update for Slay the Minotaur that will add some new content! Please watch the short video below! Thanks again so much to everyone who has played the game! I am hoping that this update will be ready by early April. If you would like to help support the game the best thing you can do is subscribe on YouTube, Follow on Twitter and leave a review on Steam! This helps the game grow and allows me to keep updating the game with new content. I can't work on the game forever though. After this update releases I still want to try and do at least one more bigger update. I don't know what it will be! I was previously working on a horde mode, but I am unsure if it is worth continuing. It has felt stuck being either too easy or too hard, so I'm probably going to need to change a lot of it if I want to make it work. That isn't to say another update will be a horde game mode. This upc…
- Slay the Minotaur Game Update: New Tower, Tweaks, and New Options! - 10 March 2024

You can view your currently equipped gear in the pause menu. Inverted Controls added to options. Bug Fixes The Enyo game crashing bug should finally be fixed. The Helm of Enyo should now be able to spawn 10 Enyos without crashing! The Minotaur killing a gorgon or cyclops will no longer give you the achievement. Audio settings will now save correctly…
- Slay the Minotaur Game Update: Bug Fixes and Changes! - 5 March 2024
I hope everyone is still enjoying the game! I'm releasing a second update to fix some problems. If you come across any issues while playing you can leave them here! New Hints have been added at the name your character screen that will offer some advice. The tutorial now has a section that gives more details on zombie behavior. The tutorial will now make clear how much health and how many pearls enemies drop. Added sensitivity options for gamepad. The results screen will now tell you how many hits you took. Bug Fixes and Changes The Enyo Helm has been changed after a reported game crashing bug. You can no longer spawn multiple Enyos.

I hope you are all enjoying Slay the Minotaur and that some of you can now call yourselves Minotaur Slayers! Thanks to everyone who has played and shared their feedback. This update is a mix of changes that you should find helpful as well as a few bug fixes! New You can now remap your input keys! (RIP B to jump) The use and inspect gear key is now shown when you are near a chest or weapon to remind you which buttons to press and that you can view the item stats clearly and at your own pace. You can now inspect chest to see what gear you have a chance of getting from them. Each chest has a defined loot pool already (Weapon I always gives level 1 weapons) but this should be helpful when new to the game and you are unsure what can be found in which chest. Bug Fixes and Changes Some collision has been changed around the bridge area so you won't get stuck if pushed off. More rocks have been…
