Slice & Dice (tann)

2021

Insufficient evidence

We did not find enough credible, independent evidence to publish a numeric cash-grab score. Unrated is more honest than a guess.

What counts as a cash grab?

Commercial extraction prioritized over meaningful consumer or creative value. Profit, popularity, adaptations, sequels, remakes, high budgets, and normal marketing do not count by themselves.

Why?

Slice & Dice is an indie roguelike by developer tann available on itch.io, Steam, and Google Play, with a free demo and a single-purchase unlock rather than recurring IAPs. The itch.io page documents the developer charging $18 there but notes that was a mistake and that other stores are cheaper, and the devlog shows steady updates across 2022 to 2025. Community reviews and the developer devlog describe extensive classes, items, modes, and ongoing patches, and I found no credible reporting that the title uses predatory monetization or deceptive release practices.

  • Official storefronts and the developer page document a free demo and single purchase model, not IAP-driven predatory monetization.
  • Itch.io shows a higher itch price but the developer explicitly calls it a mistake and points buyers to cheaper platform options.
  • Developer devlog and storefront listings show years of updates and added content, supporting substantive content and ongoing work.
