TowerFall (Ascension) - Matt Thorson

[MattThorson]

TowerFall Ascension is the definitive version of the hit archery combat game. Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, it's a 4-player local party game centering around hilarious, intense versus matches. The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master and combat is fierce. Loot treasure chests for game-changing power-ups, master the art of catching arrows out of the air, or descend on your foes and stomp them into submission. TowerFall is best played competitively with friends, cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.

New in Ascension is the 1 or 2-player co-op Quest mode. Players work together, fighting off a variety of monsters and enemy archers across the land of TowerFall. It's a new adventure to explore when you don't have more friends handy to square off against.

New features in TowerFall Ascension include:
-Brand new 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode
-50 additional Versus arenas, for a total of 120 unique maps
-More game-changing power-ups, such as Drill Arrows that burrow through walls
-4 new unlockable, playable archers, for a total of 8
-A huge list of variants to customize your matches - a total of 75 ways to mix things up
-Plenty of hidden secrets and surprises to discover with your friends

What was this developed in? Unity, something else? How big was your team?

[Outlander999]

Almost expensive as FF3, but seems good.

Will you make this game or a sequel in 3d with more graphics detail

Awesome Matt, I know Towerfall and Bombsquad are the two best Multiplayer games on OUYA right now.

but I am disappointed in the $15 price tag (Just being honest). Will wait for it to go down to $10 or less.

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it

I used XNA/MonoGame and Visual Studio. I did all the design and programming, with a team of 5 for music, sounds and graphics.

Nope, that's not TowerFall. I think you're looking for something different!

I'm really proud of the game and confident in the price point. The amount/quality of content and features you get for $15 is pretty crazy imo. But the game's certainly not for everyone, especially if you don't have anyone to play with, so if it's not worth it for you we'll just have to agree to disagree

The game is awesome, I hope that it makes a lot of money and sells many OUYA's.

Question: In lieu of an online mode, will bots for single player Fight mode be made available later?

I have some plans for a more fleshed-out single player mode but it won't just be vs. AI. More info on that later!

I too would like to see bots, just to flesh out multiplayer mode at least.

GREAT game. It's the first one I've actually paid money for. Looks like the Ouya is going to be a pretty wonderful couch-gaming system.
