Background and history about Raresloth and King Rabbit, along with Raresloth's other games. This page is organized in chronological order, with oldest on top and newest on bottom.

## RareSloth Creation

Raresloth was "created" sometime in the winter of 2013 when the founders of Raresloth, Austin and Brian, decided to try and make a mobile game. They had met at their corporate job and had quickly become friends.

## Yukon Warrior

Yukon Warrior, Raresloth's first game, was released in January of 2014 for iOS devices. In the game, you take the role of a warrior in a snowy mountainous setting, but vicious animals are attacking you and blocking your way. You have weapons to defend yourself and to advance forwards. It launched as a free app. The app was removed from the App Store in 2016

Its trailer description reads:

> Yukon Warrior exhibits unique gameplay that was specifically designed for the iPhone. Attack controls are intuitive for touch and special abilities aid in your dominance. Progression feels good. It's our first game. It's free.

## Furdemption

Furdemption is Raresloth's second game, and it was released in June 2015 for iOS devices. This game is the predecessor to all King rabbit games, and it has notably similar gameplay. You are a rabbit in a tile based world solving puzzles and moving around. The current King Rabbit has many of the same features and Furdemption, like crumbling ground, bombs, saws, and more. Furdemption lauched as a $3.99 paid app.

## King Rabbit - Classic

King Rabbit - Classic ("- Classic" title was added unofficially later, to reduce confusion with the current King Rabbit Game) This was Raresloth's third game, released in March of 2016. With this game we see more notable similarities to the current game, the biggest differences being the game engine, the art, and the presence of reapers (replaced by goats), and spiders. King Rabbit - Classic launched at a price of $0.99, but transitioned to a free-to-play model. Raresloth noted that a big bottleneck with this game was that they could not create levels fast enough for player consumption, and in January 2017, the level builder was launched.
