TOWERMOUTH is an action roguelite with automatic firing, played solo or by two players in local split-screen co-op. Each player controls a puppet climbing a living tower floor by floor; the tower watches the players, talks to them, and remembers how the previous run ended. Weapons fire on their own, so players move, jump and dash to position themselves while enemies swarm each floor. When a floor is cleared its gate opens, the players pick a reward, and they climb to the next floor. Every level-up offers a choice of three cards that change the character's build, and collecting five copies of the same effect transforms it. A Warden boss guards every fifth floor. In solo play one player uses the full screen; in co-op the screen is split down the middle. The visual style recalls PS1/PS2-era dark fantasy: wet stone lit by cold teal light, with torchlight as the only warm colour.
