Tower Takeover - Devlog 1

Tower Takeover is an upcoming up-to four player tower racer, with different player classes, enemy types, item boxes, and semi-randomly generated levels. The game is set in a medieval tower, where you and your group of bandits must race to escape at the top.

Each character has their own special movement mechanic that helps them get towards the top faster:

• The Bandit can double jump to reach higher areas quicker.
• The Knight can throw swords to create new platforms in the level.
• The Archer can create new ropes  for players to navigate using.
• The Wizard can dash across large gaps.

As well, levels will be semi-randomly generated using sets of pre-built "blocks" that will be randomly placed together. This will make for a more varied gameplay experience, without being fully procedural to where levels could be unfair.

Tower Takeover will premiere and be playable during the Spring 2025 Game Expo at Florida Polytechnic University on April 19th! Game Expo is a showcase of all student games, and at the end prizes are given out to the games with the most votes! If you plan on attending please consider voting for Tower Takeover.
