About TowerBound: There is no luck in this tower. Every monster, chest, and locked door is deterministic — 50 hand-crafted floors forming one giant logic puzzle. Spend HP, gold, and keys in exactly the right order, or seal your own way forward. A pixel-art puzzle-RPG in the Tower of the Sorcerer tradition.
