TOWERPULSE

TOWERPULSE is a single-player tactical survival roguelite from an independent developer, set inside a hostile signal tower. Each run is an ascent through the tower’s floors, during which the player assembles a build from weapons, modifiers and relics while contending with enemies that grow stronger if the player remains stationary. Pickups that are left unattended decay over time, and each new floor introduces a fresh threat to identify and respond to during play.

The build system centres on selecting upgrades that alter attacks, movement and control of the battlefield, with interactions between these systems intended to be combined into a setup capable of surviving subsequent floors. Objectives shift over the course of a run: players escort a signal between several relay points, hold contested zones and extract while under attack. The environment can be used tactically, with obstacles, destructible supplies and enemy explosions all serving as tools for managing the horde.

As the climb continues, elite enemies and bosses appear. The game tracks run records, including floors reached and kill counts, encouraging repeated attempts. Failed runs are framed as part of learning the tower’s patterns and improving on future ascents.
