Indie studio Butter by the Fish and publisher Noodlecake have announced that their debut title, Flick Shot Rogues, will launch on September 17, 2025, for PC via Steam. After a warmly received demo that sits at 95% positive reviews, the game is ready to fire its way into the hands of roguelike fans.
Flick Shot Rogues mixes the precision of tactical planning with the chaotic fun of ricocheting across a battlefield. Players flick their hero across grid-based maps, chaining combos and carving paths through enemies in ways that feel equal parts puzzle and action.
Plan, Aim, Flick
Gameplay in Flick Shot Rogues is built around one deceptively simple action: flicking your hero across the map. Every move sets off a chain reaction, whether it’s bouncing into walls, ricocheting off enemies, or detonating explosive effects. The key lies in planning shots that don’t just survive a turn, but turn the entire battlefield into a playground of chaos.
Each run brings a reshuffled mix of enemies and rewards, demanding on-the-fly adaptation. Along the way, you’ll collect items, talents, and curses—each with game-changing effects that can either elevate your run to godlike status or derail it spectacularly.
