About this game

The original exclusive release for the Ouya in 2013. It was later ported to Steam and the PlayStation 4, in March 2014, as the updated version Towerfall Ascension. The Ouya version was updated to Ascension 3 months later.

"Enter the land of TowerFall with your friends and engage in the noble and brutal tradition of bow-and-arrow combat. TowerFall is available now, only on OUYA!"
