Sour Lemon Studios has announced their latest title, Tower of Dreams, is out now in Early Access on Steam. The anticipated Nintendo Switch release is coming soon.
Hop to the Top of the Tower of Dreams
Tower of Dreams is a delightful roguelike platformer that challenges players with its exciting mechanics and technical skills. Embark on your adventures as the Dream Knight, wielding your sword against an array of enemies blocking your ascent up the Tower of Dreams. It features simple controls, and you can ascend through the tower with well-timed wall jumps, bops, and leaps, besting the enemies and obstacles in your way. No two attempts will be the same. As you’re faced with a random selection of hand-crafted stages and mini-challenges with plenty of secrets to explore. 36 unique items await discovery alongside permanent upgrades and charming cosmetics.
Whimsical World of Colour
Accompany the Dream Knight through a world of retro pixel art inspired by the Game Boy Colour. A limited 13-colour pastel palette gives the titular tower a nostalgic, ethereal feel, brought to life through three floors featuring their own unique mechanics and aesthetics. To clear each floor, players must complete three separate stages. Each stage is randomly selected from a pool, challenging players to adapt their strategies to overcome ever-changing obstacles. Fantasy settings, factory levels, and a sky garden set a distinct mood for each floor, each introducing new tests of technical prowess. With plenty of floors for a platforming adventurer, it’s up to you to lead your knight to victory!
If at First You Don’t Succeed…
While uncovering the tower’s secrets, players will find special items, passive abilities, and upgrades. These enhancements make each run in the tower a new expedition. This encourages tower-climbing hopefuls to experiment with different techniques and gameplay styles. Completing a level will provide players with a letter grade based on their performance. Which they’ll be reminded of the next time they face the same level, challenging them to do better. Upon death, a small grave will be left behind containing an item the player had when they died, encouraging them to try, try again!
