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.
Interesting, wishlisted.

Though I cannot stand that cover art, it completely belies the game itself, which is actually a neat looking little FPS. The art made me think this was "yet another newgrounds caliber platform shooter or tower defense game", and I nearly wrote it off without looking.
Someone on the forums mentioned this one a while back; great to see it come to GOG. A shame about the lack of decent extras, once again. But I'll get a copy anyway, because it looks fun and it's a quite unique concept and that alone deserves being supported.

blankslatejoe: Hi guys! Dev here ...
Fun game concept, thanks for making it available here!

Oh, and while you're here, some more bonus content would have been nice, as I mentioned in the first part of my post. Just saying. :D

More concept art, soundtrack ( samples ) ... that sort of thing.

Good indie release.
Is it really that good game?
I know it only thanks to amok's preaching and I admit it made me quite interested but I would like to hear from someone else too.

It's good enough that I pre-ordered it before I knew it may be on GOG and talked to some friends about it...maybe at length :D

I remember wanting to find a mod for DooM II that completely randomized everything, this game is pretty much what I would have wanted had it existed at the time. The closest I ever came to finding something like this was Æons of Death (which is still pretty awesome).

Nice game release guys.
Wishlisted for now, looks like it could be fun.
Now i happy that i got it on IndieGameStand back then...
Did GOG lose another game today? I;m pretty sure it was at 706 games already this weekend.

I wasn't interested in Guilty Gear Isuka, but did GOG warn us in time, before the removal?
I didn't receive any email about it >:(

Well, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOmDezHfhVo

I didn't know about this game till now, but I am sold- plays nice, looks sweet, and seems to have a sense of humour. Plus, I really like the idea of a rogue-like FPS.

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

blankslatejoe: 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.
Thanks for having a GOG release! :]

p.s. prepare for a barrage of comment notifications because people will possibly be replying to you to enter this giveaway, like myself, haha.
