It was released as an Ouya microconsole exclusive on June 25, 2013, and was later ported to PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X in 2014 as ''TowerFall Ascension''. ''TowerFall'' was Thorson's first full commercial game, and it grew from a June 2012 game jam single-player prototype. Thorson tested the game on his indie developer colleagues with whom he lived, and developed its capacity as a party game. Its mechanics were inspired by games of Thorson's youth, such as ''Bushido Blade'' and ''Goldeneye 007'', and influenced by feedback received at the Evolution Championship Series fighting game tournament. The game was known as the standout title for the Ouya at the console's launch, and sold well. When the Ouya exclusivity expired, Thorson signed another exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 4, where ''Ascension'' received an expanded single-player mode, and new levels, weapons, and gameplay variants. ''Ascension'' received generally favorable reviews. Reviewers praised the game's balance, compared it favorably with ''Super Smash Bros.'', and recommended it as a party game. Critics felt that the single-player mode was a low point, and lamented for an online multiplayer mode. == Gameplay == ''TowerFall'' is an archery combat arena game〔 where players kill each other with arrows and head-stomps until only one player remains.〔 In multiplayer, up to four players fight in a battle royale using a limited supply of arrows.〔 Players replenish their arrow supply from those shot about the arena.〔 The players can also catch other players' arrows.〔 "Treasure" power-ups give players shields, wings, and arrows with increased power.〔 The game's rules can be customized and saved for future use.〔 ''Kotaku''s Chris Person described the gameplay as "''() Smash Bros.'' bred with games like ''Spelunky'' or ''Nidhogg''".〔 There are four game modes.〔 In single-player, the player must hit targets around the arena before a timer runs out.〔 The developer compared this mode to "Break the Targets" in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.〔 ''Ascension'' adds a remodeled version of the target levels as a Trials mode, which requires the players to use power-ups to break all targets within several seconds. ''Ascension'' also adds a Quest mode, where one or two players attempt to survive against enemy waves of increasing difficulty.〔 As a single-player event, Quest functions as a score attack mode.〔 The new ''Ascension'' improvements were also released for the Ouya version.〔 The Ouya release supports the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 controllers.〔 ''Ascension'' uses the DualShock 4 controller's built-in speaker to play sound effects.〔 The game does not have online multiplayer.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TowerFall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
