Description
Tower Slash is a casual action pixelart game that uses challenging swipe mechanics. In a retro style environment, you must take the challenge of climbing the Everlasting Tower. This mystic tower has no door nor window. Only a special kind of runner, fast enough to break the chains of Gravity, can climb it. But that will not be enough! He must deal with other tower runners, as well as face monstrous creatures that roam the skies. This game tests your fingers reflexes, as every enemy requires you to swipe to a specific direction. One mistake means defeat!
History
Tower Slash is being developed by João Vasco Costa, and is now Available for iOS and Android! João originally started working in desktop applications focusing on computer-vision technologies, for a small company called Creative Bitbox. After that he worked on mobile applications and games for X-team, being introduced to cool gamedev tools like Unity 3D. Due to client demands, his work eventually migrated to web development. But his true passion for gamedev remains, and from that passion comes this game.
