Only you can rescue Big Barry - your huge robot head pal - from a space theme park that’s been invaded by a tentacled pan-dimensional godbeast.
About the story
Only you can save Big Barry, a terraforming robot, from a space theme park overrun by a sprawling transdimensional creature. Explore a strange planet, face a unique bestiary and win cards with multiple abilities. Use strategy to equip them: their location can be crucial, and destroying them grants you healing and powers. But beware, your enemies are pocketing you! The cards they steal are sent to other players' games. By defeating an elite monster, you will get the card of one of them. Will you send it back to him? Whatever decision you make, prepare to receive a holographic visit: will it be an ally or an enemy? Loot Rascals is above all a story of friendship, loss and redemption! Every game is different in this procedural-generation rogue-like: collect cards, check out the thing below, and soar to victory with Big Barry!

Critic Reviews
DualShockers
By Lou ContaldiLoot Rascals is bizarre – and not only because the experimental attitude that Hollow Ponds takes in gameplay design. Loot Rascals will take you to a strange but enjoyable place, especially if you consider yourself a “fan of video games” – even if it is only for 15 minutes at a time.
The Game Fanatics
By Caleb L'EtoileLuckily, Loot Rascals is so charming that the permadeath is much less of a frustration than it is in most roguelikes. The world is bright and colorful, and there’s always a collection of new, laughably weird monsters to battle. Many of the cards you pick up are humorous too like a salt sock that prevents you from slipping on ice or an inflatable pool toy for a weapon. The game is like a cartoon version of Red Dwarf by way of Adult Swim.
Digitally Downloaded
By Lindsay M.Perhaps it is the requirement of balance that made me love a game with such randomness behind it, as balancing my turns or the cards made me feel powerful in a world of beautiful chaos. I think Loot Rascals actually taught me something, which isn't something I say often about video games.
The Digital Fix
By Leigh ForgieAs frustrating as it is fun, Loot Rascals is both hilariously charming and crushingly difficult.
Thumbsticks
By James SweetingLoot Rascals, like other roguelikes, might not be for everyone, but it is the game's charm and engaging approach to stat loadout and item management (as dull as that sounds) that make it enjoyable and helps turn what otherwise might have been frustration into a learning experience. Ultimately you might not get very far, but you won’t regret the time spent trying.
