TowerBound

There is no luck in this tower. No dice rolls, no misses, no critical hits. Every enemy's strength, every reward, every outcome is fully deterministic — which turns the entire climb into one enormous logic puzzle. And you can solve it.

Towerbound is a 2D pixel-art puzzle-RPG in the classic Tower of the Sorcerer tradition: climb fifty floors, key by key, fight by fight, decision by decision.

Every fight is decided before you take it

Walk into a monster and the outcome is already fixed by your stats and theirs. You can read exactly what a fight will cost before you commit. The challenge isn't surviving the fight — it's choosing which fights, in which order. Kill this guard now, or come back stronger? Open the red door, or hold the key?

Fifty hand-built floors. Zero procedural generation.

Every floor is a deliberately designed puzzle, not a random roll. HP, attack, defense, and gold are currencies — and spending them in the wrong order has real consequences. Fight too early, waste a key, or buy the wrong upgrade, and you can seal your own way forward. The tower doesn't kill you; your plan does.
