A fast-paced roguelike-like old-school medium-core single-serving first-person gun-shooter. WHAT?!

Tower of Guns, a first person shooter in which you storm a enemy-filled tower that is randomized to offer a different experience with each exciting play-through, is available 33% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the first week!

Once upon a time in the Wild West there lived an engineer who harnessed the power of steam to construct giant contraptions that would reign terror upon the simple folk. The engineer kidnapped the mayor's beautiful daughter and built a giant tower full of traps and dangerous automatons so he could lock her up on the top floor. You are the county sheriff and your task is to storm the tower and ask the mayor's daughter for her dad's favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Grab the sandwich, leave the damsel, get back down and feed the hungry mayor. Yup. That's totally your mission here. Sounds random? Well, to tell you the truth, that's not the actual story in this game. But it might just as well be!

Tower of Guns is a game designed to give you a full single-serving FPS experience everytime you play it. Each floor of the tower you'll be attempting to capture consists of a random set of predefined rooms, populated with different setup of enemies, loot, and power-ups. The game also offers many different combinations of weapons and character perks, adding special flavor to every play. Even the narrative is selected at random, so the backstory can have you follow strict orders from your commanding officer just to make you into a delivery boy with an important package the next time around. The silly dialog is well in sync with the game's humorous tone that makes everything from the descriptions of your guns down to the names of bosses into a lighthearted joke. All that comes with somewhat cartoonish graphics, some quirky puzzles, and zany gameplay ideas. The game can prove to be challenging and may force you to dust off your old-school shooter skills, like circular strafing and bunny-hopping. Be warned, though described as a "lunch-break" type of game, beating the tower takes up to an hour, so make sure you've got some time left to actually eat your lunch. Or better yet, try not to play it in your lunch break at all. It's too fun and addictive to put down, and it could ruin your productivity for the day!

Master the art and science of gunslinging while tower-running in the endless cannonade brought to you by the Tower of Guns, for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The 33% off special release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, March 11, at 10:59AM GMT.
I'm very unsure if I should find it original or unoriginal. Randomized levels aren't really a new invention. Just calling it a tower instead of a dungeon might not change much. And cartoonish graphics was in a few years ago. But then the combination of all these things still sounds interesting somehow.

Game looks great, but I'll probably hold off on getting it for a while. I really like FPS's, problem is, when things start getting really hairy, and I am overwhelmed with enemies gunning for my ass from all directions, my mouse & keyboard coordination starts to fall apart quickly, lol. Strange, because in real world environment, such as martial arts, and paint gun battles, I always excel. Put me in a video fighting game or FPS though, my tuckus gets handed to me in short order :-/
The price of the game is $9.50.

That was/is a pre-order price. The price of the game after the discount is over will be $14.99 on GOG.

Again, that was a pre-order price, the developer hasn't updated his game's page yet but I can bet that it will change once the game is out everywhere else other than here. If it doesn't change in a reasonable amount of time, please let us know :)
$9.99 o_O
devs offer on their own page drm-free (humble widget) & steam key for 9.50 :/

Hi guys! Dev here. The price on www.towerofguns.com is only $9.50 until..well...the Humble guys get in to their office and push the final 1.0 update. Right now that pre-order would gain you access to the old .78 build. The Humble guys are on West Coast USA time, so that should be in about 50 minutes, around the same time the Steam sales will open, assuming all goes well. The price should then raise to 14.99 with the 33% discount as well across all the various vendors. My apologies for the confusion.
Awesome addition. This one looks pretty cool.
This looks good. Wishted.


Too bad no co-op or multiplayer.
