Tower of Dreams Reviews

Short but sweet

It's a good game and one I can recommend with a caveat: It's only vaguely a roguelike if you squint reasonably hard. Right now, the way things work is that effectively each level of the tower has a pool of static levels it can pull from, and then a few side areas (like shops, or treasure chests with a pool of powerups). So once you know how a level plays out there you're really relying on what power ups the game gives you to spice up the experience. If it wants to lean into the roguelite aspect it needs a bit more meat to it. It doesn't need full proc gen or anything like that, but level modifiers. Or levels built out of predefined chunks that link to each other. Some additional stuff that can affect how each level plays out beyond the baseline. That said, everything else here is generally pretty good. The platforming feels good and responsive, the game has a good art style and the music is great too. So at a minimum you're getting a decent platforming experience out of it and I think that makes it a worthwhile pickup.

Feels great to play, really fun gameplay loop and the art is simple but clean and pleasant!
