About the Game

Tower of Nod is an action-roguelike deckbuilding platformer that combines precision platforming with unique sleep-based controls. You play as a Hero, able to manipulate falling blocks while asleep, building your way upwards in a constantly shifting tower filled with peril and mystery. Every run brings new challenges, treasures, and surprises in this one-of-a-kind roguelike adventure.

Alternate between guiding your Hero through dangerous traps and monsters, and entering the Dream Phase, where you control falling blocks to create a safe path forward. Tower of Nod offers a blend of platforming and puzzle-solving, requiring quick reflexes and strategic thinking to conquer each floor.

Key Features:

  • Unique Sleep-Based Controls: Manipulate blocks and build your path while in the Dream Phase. Use springs, healing auras, balloons, and other abilities you encounter to your advantage, but beware of deadly traps like bombs and flamethrowers.

  • Roguelike Elements: Every climb is different with procedurally generated floors of carefully crafted hazards. Discover new block types, relics, and enemies with each attempt.

  • Deckbuilding Mechanics: Assemble a library of powerful relics and blocks as you ascend, and combine them to create powerful synergies for a greater chance at survival.

  • Challenging Precision Platforming: Leap through traps, dodge monsters, and outmaneuver rising lava as you race to reach the top of the tower.

  • Eerie Fantasy-Horror Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in a dark and mysterious world challenging both your skill and courage. Throughout your climb, encounter unique individuals that breathe life into the tower's haunting secrets.

Do you have the skill to climb the ever-shifting Tower of Nod and reveal its hidden treasures?

The end is nearly in sight… keep climbing!
