Tower of Guns

Shooter· Boomer Shooter· Replay Value· Bullet Heaven

Released Mar 2014

Tower of Guns is a fast paced first-person-shooter for the twitch gamer... with a few randomized elements to keep it fresh with each playthrough. It's a short burst "Lunch Break FPS"... not unlike Binding of Isaac mixed with Doom 2. Tower of Guns was made by a guy named Joe (with his brother Mike composing the music).

Evaluation

Tower of Guns launched on March 4, 2014 as a complete, self-contained "lunch break FPS" — a deliberately compact experience designed to be finished in one or two sittings. The developer (Joe) shipped a series of updates throughout 2014, adding new rooms, game modes, guns, bug fixes, and Steam integration. The final notable update, version 1.3, arrived on November 23, 2015. In that post, Joe explicitly noted he had "for the most part moved on to new projects," signaling that active development on Tower of Guns had wound down. Since then, the studio's communications on the Tower of Guns page have been announcements about new Terrible Posture Games titles: MOTHERGUNSHIP (released July 2018), MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE (a VR spinoff released June 2022), Battle Train (announced June 2024, with a Kickstarter in October 2024), and Good Boy (announced November 2025). None of these posts indicate any new content is planned for Tower of Guns itself. The only DLC ever released was the soundtrack on October 28, 2014, and no unreleased DLC is listed. The store description makes no reference to ongoing updates or future content. Tower of Guns launched and was supported as a finished product; the developer has long since moved on to other projects.

About this game

Key Features

SINGLE SITTING FULL EXPERIENCE: For all of those who have too many games (or too little time) this is a game you can pick up and play again and again, without remembering where you were or what you were up to. If you're gonna win, you're gonna do it within an hour or two. That's a big if though... it won't be easy.
ALWAYS A FRESH EXPERIENCE: Random enemies, random powerups, random bosses, tons of unlockable items and weapons...even random-level compositing! You never know what to expect when you sit down in front of Tower of Guns.
CRAZY POWERUPS: You've played first person shooters where you can double jump, but have you played any game where you can centuple-jump? You can in Tower of Guns, with the right items.
GUN-MODIFYING MADNESS: Do you like rocket launchers? You'll like them more if you're lucky enough to stumble upon a "shotgun" modifier. A rocket-launching shotgun is very satisfying. Mix and match your gun with a dozen different Gun Mods!
OLD-SCHOOL TACTICS: For the fans of the faster shooters, it's all back. Circle strafe your way to glory at insane speeds; Tower of Guns is all about moving fast!
