Moonlight Critters — Raid Episodes

Welcome to Moonlight Critters

Moonlight Critters uses the indie game Slice and Dice, created by Tann. The game features a powerful mod system that allows Francis to change the game per raid— including modifying dice faces, adjusting damage, adding blank faces, changing hero tags, altering enemy waves, and more. This section welcomes you to the raid hub and explains how Slice and Dice powers the entire series.

Slice and Dice Examples

Before watching the Moonlight Critters raids, here are two examples of how the indie game Slice and Dice (created by Tann) looks in action. Moonlight Critters is not limited to Raid Mode — because Slice and Dice's modding system allows Francis to create entirely new modes, change dice faces, adjust damage, modify heroes, alter enemy waves, and more.

Start Guide

To get started, make sure to watch the gameplay from Francis Thomson's Hut first, because each gameplay episode has different buffs and punishments. Gameplay episodes release every Wednesday on the Francis Thomson's Hut YouTube channel. The raid episode schedule is currently to be determined.

Cross-Game Punishment System

Moonlight Critters uses a Slice & Dice–compatible dice engine. All punishments and rewards must be things Francis can legally mod: dice faces, hero tags, items, enemy waves, and enemy stats between fights.

🎮 Mario Golf

• Birdie or better → Upgrade one face
• Bogey or worse → Add 1 blank face

⚡ Pokémon

• Pokémon faint → Add 1 blank face

🗡️ Final Fantasy IX — Freya Crescent

• Freya faint → Replace 1 damage face with weaker damage

🧟 Resident Evil

• Death → Add a dangerous enemy to next wave

Rules change every episode. Even the same game can have different rules.

Dice Change Rules — Slice & Dice Integration

Dice changes may occur mid-run based on cross-game punishments.

Francis may modify:

• Damage faces
• Shield faces
• Mana faces
• Blank faces
• Hero tags
• Items

These changes take effect immediately after Save & Quit → Reload Run.

Moonlight Critters Raids Playlists

Select a season below to watch the raid episodes. Each season is part of the Moonlight Critters story, powered by Slice & Dice's modding system.

Season Build

Economy System

This "Economy System" is NOT a real currency or EXP system. It exists purely for fun and to add interesting elements to Moonlight Critters raids. All bonuses and penalties listed here MUST follow legal Slice & Dice modding rules.

How Francis Earns Cyan Chips

Francis earns Cyan Chips from good gameplay moments on Francis Thomson's Hut. Clean plays, smart decisions, clutch saves, good rolls, and good outcomes all reward Cyan Chips. Bad moments do NOT remove Cyan Chips. The raid punishments already handle the negative side, so the economy system stays positive and forward-moving.

Economy Bonuses (Slice & Dice Legal)

• Add +1 HP to Francis (between fights only)
• Add +1 HP to an enemy wave (between fights only)
• Upgrade one dice face (blank → damage/shield/mana)
• Downgrade one dice face (damage → blank)
• Add a support item to Francis
• Add a weak enemy to the next wave
• Add a medium enemy to the next wave
• Add a dangerous enemy to the next wave
• Increase next wave enemy HP by +1–5

All bonuses and penalties in the Economy System must be things Francis can legally mod into Slice & Dice: dice faces, hero tags, items, enemy waves, and enemy stats between fights.

A Word from Francis

Pity Mode (Mercy System)

The Moonlight Critters mercy system activates only under very specific conditions. If Francis Thomson's Hut has four bad gameplay streams in a row and the raids also struggled with their runs, the universe steps in. Punishments flip into boons instead — a small moment of mercy to keep the story alive.
