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 think I got this one on a indiegamestand PWYW offer, but it was still in beta or something? I'll have to re-check it out.

I don't know if you did, but it was once on offer.
I bought it there as well.
The game seems interesting and overall quite good, being created by only 2 people!
The video, then, is pretty fun XD
I'll wait for various reviews and promos before buying, though.

Hope not. Not because I dislike this release---but I hoped for the rerelease of a quite actual game that could be drawn in with that new pricing politic---like Deus EX HR or the first Lords of Shadows-Game!

Spiderduck First Look: Tower of Guns
Looks interesting. I just wish they would stop with old school shooter thing when it's clearly not...
Ok, I don't want to bring out the pitchforks (they're busy elsewhere), but can somebody explain to me if this game was actually released or not? Because my copy on IGS still says "Early access".
