By MattMakesGames (Matt Thorson), Studio Miniboss, Infinite Ammo (Alec Holowka), and Power-Up Audio.

A one-to-four-player game, very fast paced and best played with controllers, only played locally*!

How to play Towerfall:
-Shoot arrows at people
-Jump on people
-Dodge and catch

 

There are also powerups and a one-to-four-player Quest mode where you battle waves of monsters. You can also unlock some new characters (who all play the same) and new towers. This version is a huge step up from the original Ouya version, and absolutely worth the price if you have someone to play against.

It doesn't take very long to learn (and even if your skill level is lower that your enemies', you'll still feel satisfied and find ways to success).
And yet, the situations and the detail and the way the game builds on basic ideas is INCREDIBLE.

It's a simple game, but oh-so-good. I've had uncounted hours of fun playing against family members, and I'm hoping to set up some competition in college if I can get more controllers.

I heartily recommend this game to anyone who has either a PS4 or good controllers/gamepads for their computer.
(Note: I prefer a Dualshock 3 with SCPServer to get Windows to recognize it)

(*In case you're frustrated with the lack of online play, there's a good reason for it that boils down to this: It simply doesn't work because of the latency, and the lag, and any lag compensation would make it worse. This game is very precise and fast-paced and it's very clear where everything is, where as some games may slower-paced or vague on the details to cover up compensation. It's a shame, but that's how it is! Couch play is more fun anyway.)

Honestly with so many games forgetting about local multiplayer it's kind of refreshing to have a game very focused on that on a next-gen system. Seems pretty cool.

33% off on the Humble Store for a flash sale! Though for the moment, I believe it still must be installed through Steam.

 

Additionally, they recently released version 1.1.17, including new variants, fixes and changes, and something secret???

 

Even better: in the near future, Mac and Linux versions will be made available, as well as a level editor.

 

 

Meanwhile, the fun hasn't waned in the slightest---
