SHORT DESCRIPTION
Sluggernauts is an arcade baseball roguelike where players hit, pitch, field, and run the bases themselves. The Hickory Creek Squirrels, a small town minor league team, are Earth's last hope in an intergalactic baseball tournament.

ABOUT THE GAME
Each run follows a randomized road trip map. Players choose their route, shop for equipment, and build combinations to beat otherworldly teams that don't play fair.

Every player has four equipment slots: a bat, a pitch, fielding gear, and headwear. Fire bats, Ghost Pitches, Rocket Boots, and Scout Shades are a few examples from the current build, with more equipment in development.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
Craig Brunner, known as fake_architech, is the solo developer of Sluggernauts. He is an engineer and a dad who loves, plays, and coaches baseball.
