1	''[[https://naka.itch.io/tofu-tower Tofu Tower]]'' by Creator/{{Naka}}, released on Feb 11, 2016. It is a {{free\|wareGames}}, presumably {{Endless\|Game}} variation on a DeckbuildingGame. You play as [[https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvNzUxODI2LzQxOTcxODguanBn/original/PI5%2B21.jpg Tofu Muffin]], an [[OurElvesAreDifferent elf]] that tries to confirm the legend of the monster-warding artifact at top of the Tower to the Sky outside a small town.

3	Tofu fights off the {{roaming\|Enemy}} and [[PreexistingEncounters detectable]] monsters of the tower by sending monster cards into battle, and other cards to assist her and her cards in their quest for ExperiencePoints to eventually [[CharacterLevel level up]], to find the stairs on each floor to ascend, or exit, the tower at need.

5	It's chronologically followed by a game in a different genre, ''VideoGame/TofuTopple'', which states that Tofu was unsuccessful in climbing the tower.
6	----
7	!!This game provides examples of:
8	* AlliterativeTitle: The protagonist's first name is "Tofu" and she's climbing a tower.
9	* CatsHaveNineLives: The Bast card, for the Myth/EgyptianMythology cat goddess's FlavorText twists this, swapping "li(fe/ves)" and "cats":
10	--> Every life should have nine cats.
11	* {{Checkpoint}}: After completing an interval of 20 floors of the tower and exiting the tower undefeated, when entering it again, Tofu can skip to the 20 x Number floor instead of starting from Floor 1.
12	* EndlessGame: Floor 101 and subsequent floors are basically copies of the ones from 100 floors ago, with the same monsters and chest loot, but the monsters have been given greater health and attack power to match their new floor. The game's description directly questioning the existence of a end also implies that there is none:
13	--> nobody knows [...] if the tower even has a top!
14	* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Cards and monsters each have one of four elemental symbols, Blue, Red, Green, and Pink except the unknown element "overpowering presence", but it acts like it's Red. In damage effectiveness order, and the reverse is damage resistance: Green > Pink > Blue > Red > Green.
15	* HeadlessHorseman: Dullahans appear on at least two cards:
16	** "Dullahan at Play", which is a woman's head at a beach on a beach lounger. FlavorText:
17	---> A reward for working hard.
18	** "Dullahan at Work", gotten in chests around Floor 67, which is a headless suit of armor, presumably the body belonging to the bodiless head from "Dullahan at Play". FlavorText:
19	---> Hard work is its own reward.
20	* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: Tofu just wants to reach the top of the Tower to the Sky. But it seems to be endless.
21	* MagikarpPower: The "Databun" card, gotten for defeating the strongest monster of the first approximately 150 floors of the game, and it can randomly appear on floors. Databun starts as the worst card in the game, and its stat growth initially just 1 in most stat per level, worse than even the StarterEquipment cards, but that growth rate gets better every level, such that by around level 100, which isn't the cap, it's better than the best card of the same "pink" element, "Bunny", and at level 113, has either better health or attack than the best cards of the other elements at level 117.
22	* NonIndicativeName: The Bumbleburn cards found in chests on floor 46 or so, has its FlavorText:
23	--> Despite her name, she is actually a hornet.
