About Towerbolt
Join the Towerbolt Discord for behind the scenes updates, to share your best speedrun times, and to connect with other players! (Discord link on the right column of store page)Towerbolt is a precision platformer with an emphasis on speed and fluid ascending movement. Set in the far future where robots are waging war against humanity, play as a Bolter, an augmented half human, half robot super soldier, and break out of a futuristic Megatower prison!
Each floor of the Megatower is equipped with deadly security lasers that will chase you as you ascend the tower. Outsprint these lethal lasers every floor while avoiding other security measures on your climb to the top.
Towerbolt is designed to be easy to pick up with a simple one button control scheme, but leaves lots of room for mastery with a high skill ceiling. Master the Bolter Charge mechanic and chain jumps without touching to ground to build vertical momentum to ascend faster and finish levels with lightning speed.In Towerbolt, speed is more important than being careful or precise. The only thing that will kill you is the big laser chasing you, and every alarm hazard tile you touch will speed up the laser instead of killing you. Making imprecise jumps and making mistakes is okay, as long as you're fast!The Tower spans over 150 floors and features new obstacles that will challenge and test you on your path to escape. Each floor is a micro platforming challenge designed to be quick to try, retry, and finish to keep you moving fast throughout the game.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this fast-paced vertical platformer for its engaging speedrunning-focused gameplay, stylish cyberpunk pixel art, and well-designed levels that balance accessibility with challenge. The core mechanics around building momentum and chaining jumps create a satisfying flow, though some players note the difficulty can be steep and a few quality-of-life features like cloud saves would be welcome additions.
Very fast, very fun, good speed game :)2 found this helpful
So much fun!! I feel like this game checks every box that it's aiming for with flying colors. The art and vibe are solid, the platforming is tight, and it has such a simple and clean gameplay loop that can quickly become entrancing. Normally I don't spend a lot of time trying to "optimize" my time in platforming games, but with the nature of the room to room based gameplay and the rising laser I found myself really enjoying replaying scenes just trying to find the fastest possible escape. The mechanic of being able to jump higher after consecutive wall jumps fits in so cleanly here, its like the rooms allow for progression without utilizing it too heavily but once you start to poke at the system it really opens up a lot of speed and routing possibilities. I've had the pleasure of meeting the dev at an event as well, and they are just so lovely! These are the types of developers I want to support, they not only make great and fun art but also spread the goodwill in the real world as well. If you're on the fence about this one even slightly, try out the demo! It gives a great taste of the core loop so you know exactly what you're signing up for.1 found this helpful
A fun vertical platformer heavily reminiscent of walljumping in Super Metroid or Megaman X. The ability to build up speed and jump power by chaining without staying on the floor and using alarms that raise the killing floor instead of directly damage to end the run gives the run a nice amount of fluidity, flexibility, and forgiveness in completing the run as well as provides separate dimensions to optimize for between raw speed and precise jumping, rated as "stealth".1 found this helpful
