A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

In some cases the "Construction Site" achievement was not unlocking. This has been fixed, and the conditions to unlock all achievements are double-checked when launching the game, to allow retroactive unlocking.

The demo of "Whacking Hell!" is now available! You can try it for free. We hope it will convince you that the game is worth a purchase.
SpelStation had these comments about the game: - "Whacking Hell!" has one of the most interesting visual styles I've seen in the genre. - The game has great, powerful gothic music with organ, violin and heavy electro beats. It keeps the rounds fresh and I wouldn't mind getting the soundtrack on vinyl. - "Whacking Hell!" quickly became one of my favorite games in the genre with its mix of Darkest Dungeon and Vampire Survivors pushing the player into this “one more round” mindset.

Multiple players told us that the hitboxes were too unforgiving: the slightest intersection between our character and an enemy would register as a hit. They were also inconsistent with the isometric perspective: our character would take a hit when its head was in front of an enemy located behind. We fixed this issue by making slightly smaller hitboxes for both our character and the enemies, and not including heads (when they are above the bodies) in the hitboxes.
