History VideoGame / TowerClimb

* DropTheHammer: The Killatonne, which is dropped by [[spoiler: the giant worm from the Hatchery. It's required to complete the quest, Arsenal of the Ascended.]]

* BladeOnAStick: The spear, which can be found in chests or crafted from a crate and a spike.

** Second, [[spoiler: Zardo's Dream, a massive non sequitur of an area, where you end up playing basketball with him. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Lose, and you get slammed.]] ]]

* MushroomSamba: The spores in the Volt Caves area give you gigantic amounts of InterfaceScrew if you touch them.
* NoHarmRequirement: Do not damage ''anything'' in Club Z, or the bouncer ''will'' toss you out and end your run for good.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Extremely, mercifully present. While you begin to tumble at terminal velocity and begin to outrun the screen, you retain control of your character and if you grab a wall or double jump, even at the last second, you live.

* NoEnding: Made it to the top of the tower [[spoiler:and killed Zardo]]? Congratulations, you get an end card! Completed a Legend Fragment run [[spoiler:and killed Krystelle]]? Congratulations, you get a slightly different end card!

''TowerClimb'' is an indie 2D platformer developed by Davioware which is heavily influenced by {{Roguelike}} mechanics, such as {{permadeath}} and [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels random levels.]]

!!''TowerClimb'' provides examples of:

* FinalDeath: Present, as with most roguelites, but alleviated with revive potions which can be brought from the witch... unless you fall in lava, get crushed, or fall out of the tower entirely.

** Also Zardo when [[spoiler:you get to the top on Easy mode]]:

* BraggingRightsReward: [[spoiler:Brobash's Sword]] and the [[spoiler:boiler wand]] are only obtainable extremely late into the game in optional areas, and by the time you get them there's nothing worth using them on.

* CoolSword: The challenger's sword, crafted together from two old swords, and the Bitchbane, achieved by killing 9 dogs in a single level. [[spoiler: The Ascender is another cool sword, being easily 5 times larger than the climber holding it and allowing him or her to basically fly. It's also required for completing the quest, Arsenal of the Ascended.]]

!!TowerClimb provides examples of:
* AirAidedAcrobatics: The air currents in the Ruins can help cause this. Jumping while in one of these plus under the effects of a Jump Berry causes you to go to truly incredible heights. Just make sure you have a safe place to land.

** Second, [[spoiler: Zardo's Dream, a massive nonsequitur of an area, where you end up playing basketball with him. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Lose, and you get slammed.]] ]]

* BubblegloopSwamp: The Conservatory (7F - 10F) is a mix between this and {{Jungle Japes}}.

* Hypocrite: Zardo spends most of the first chapter happily stealing your stuff, but he changes his attitude when [[spoiler: you steal his sword.]]

* RiseToTheChallenge: The occasional Lava trap level. Especially dangerous, as Lava is one of the few things that a Revive Potion will not save you from. The Arcane Lava in the Centurial Trials is even worse, as it rockets up the tower at truly terrifying speeds.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Ruins, which has ice, [[AirAidedAcrobatics updrafts]] and icicles, which fall when something shakes the ground near it. Like you.

Tower climb is an indie 2D platformer developed by Davioware which is heavily influenced by {{Roguelike}} mechanics, such as [[FinalDeath Perma Death]] and [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels Random Levels.]]

!!Tower Climb provides examples of:

* BanditMook: Zardo in earlier levels. Heralded by a message of "It feels strange in here...", he teleports in and chases you relentlessly, firing bolts of stunning energy at you. If one hits you, you are paralysed and have to look on as he robs you of every one of your potions, and throws all of your inventory items around the room. This ranges from [[DemonicSpider extremely annoying and dangerous]] to an [[UnwinnableByDesign absolute death sentence.]]
* BrutalBonusLevel: Three of them, all of which are required to access the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.
** The very aptly name Brutal Boiler, which requires you to traverse a floating lava maze using nothing but a hookshot, with all the rest of your items confiscated.
** Second, Zardo's Dream, a massive nonsequitur of an area, [[spoiler: where you end up playing Basketball with him. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Lose, and you get slammed.]] ]]
** Third, the Arcade - The walls and floors constantly change properties, from jump blocks to death blocks.
* BubblegloopSwamp: the Conservatory (7F - 10F) is a mix between this and {{Jungle Japes}}.
* DoubleJump: The Jump Berries and Jump Potions give you a one-time double jump. You can stack them up to four times, [[PhlebotinumOverdose but taking a fifth one will cause your heart to explode.]]

* Mushroom Samba: The spores in the [[spoiler: Volt Caves]] area give you gigantic amounts of InterfaceScrew if you touch them.

* PhlebotinumOverdose: Jump Potions / Berries / Gas. Going over four jumps worth of stored charge will cause you to instantly die. While for the most part this is avoidable by not overdosing on the potions, there are a few instances where this can be foisted upon you against your will. A later section of the game has dispensers of this gas, and some of these are underwater. You can't doublejump under water, so it's very possible to overload yourself if you don't pay attention. One other later level has an enemy that explodes into huge amounts of jump gas. Staying inside it without jumping will result in an overdose.

** The Poison traps are this in reverse; occasionally the exit door in the Conservatory will be locked, and poison gas leaks from the ceiling, forcing you to go back down until it dissipates and the door unlocks.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Ruins, which has ice, [[AirAidedAcrobatics Updrafts]] and Icicles, which fall when something shakes the ground near it. Like you.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: The first thing you see in Club Z is a colossal bouncer, who states very clearly - "Kid, if you damage anything, I will kick your little butt out of here.". If you disrespect his warning by bombing any objects or hurting any of the patrons, he will relentlessly teleport to you and chase you down. If he grabs you, [[NonstandardGameOver he instantly escorts you off the premises. By throwing you off the tower. Polite reminder: You're 10,000 feet above ground at this point.]]

** Second, Zardo's Dream, a massive nonsequitur of an area, [[spoiler: where you end up playing Basketball with him. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Lose, and you get slammed.]] ]]

* UnwinnableByDesign: It is entirely possible to end up stuck if you recklessly destroy blocks or don't have any means of higher jumping.

* BanditMook: The Wizard.

* DoubleJump: The Jump Berries and Jump Potions give you a one-time double jump. You can stack them until your heart gives out.

* LethalLavaLand: Heart.

* RiseToTheChallenge: The occasional Lava trap level.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Ruins, which has ice, [[AirAidedAcrobatics Updrafts]] and Icicles, which fall when something shakes the ground near it. Like you.
