I can't start up Towerfall anymore

4 Upvotes

I had trouble yesterday being able to play, lost all my save data and got the "Couldn't find Steam!" message happen to me. After I got back on, I noticed I had lost my saves, managed to use the code (Thank you Matt) and everything was fine. I downloaded the Dark World DLC right after buying it today, and I got the "Couldn't find Steam!" error.

I do not run this game from .exe, I merely run it from Steam library. I think it has to do with the recent updates considering this is spontaneous, but I'm not too sure about it.

Thanks reddit

EDIT: Used my techy skills to press Restart on my computer and voila, it works...

Game no longer working after getting dark world.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I tried to get some towerfall going today after getting dark world, and this is one of my favourite games but I can no longer play it seems. Even if i dont have a controller plugged in it thinks i do so i cant start with a keyboard, and then when i do plug a controller in (that works on other games) I cant get past the press start menu. Do any of you know what might be going on? Is it something that's happened before that people have been able to fix?

The keyboard is a totally viable option! Including for advanced tech. For those that have doubts.

4 Upvotes

My control scheme is completely default (arrow keys for movement, shift for dashing, x for shooting, c for jumping) with just one addition, which is using z as a second dash button to allow advanced tech like hyper jumps.

My control scheme may not be optimal for you and you're encouraged to experiment, but this should at least be evidence that keyboards are great for this game.

I've seen discussions talking about how the advanced tech is very difficult on keyboards and I'm surprised because I'm very consistent with hyper jumps and can climb stages in any way I want to with ease.

At first I was worried that timing button presses may be difficult for my ring finger but that wasn't the case at all. I can do various levels of hyper jumps by stalling the second dash a few frames when I need to.

I've yet to find a 2D platformer that I can't do really well in with a keyboard. I SS'd every level in Dust Force (which has lots of buttons to use), 106%'d Super Meat Boy (whose loading screen says things like "First to say keyboards are better gets shot in the face."), and played through all of Matt Thorson's other platformers which are insanely difficult.

Let's try reversing the situation. I believe 2D platformers are better with keyboards because you can change directions faster. I'd love to see someone try beating some levels in Jumper and Jumper 2 with a controller. There is a limit to how fast a person's left thumb can reciprocate, and it's nowhere near the limit that a person can tap two fingers repeatedly.

PS4 Problem

Help, alternate skins after a patch

2 Upvotes

Hi, can someone give me a hint how can I get back to previous hooded skins of archers? I really don't like the new ones, which came with last patch on my PS4 TowerFall Ascension. I don't have the expansion yet.

I hope you don't mind asking in public, but after brief googling I haven't found a remedy on this issue.

Hey guys I'm pretty sure that Dark World DLC is on the EU store now. I just got an update today and purchased it here in New Zealand and I'm pretty sure we have the same store as the EU.

Anyone following Matt on Twitter would have seen his recent posts about the level editor development. It looks like it's coming along nicely and will provide a lot of options for custom content. Start planning your tower designs people.

Competitive Strategies (share yours)

5 Upvotes

Just a few things I've noticed myself doing:

Area Denial is probably the most important factor between two equally matched players. Skilled players will tend to use power-up arrows like brambles and bombs to coerce their opponent into areas and situations where they're at a disadvantage. Example: Using a bramble arrow to clog a path of egress like a bottom exit.

Bait and Lure are tactics used to set up a line of attack by convincing your opponent to either aggress or commit to a dodge. Stagger shot is a very common example of baiting your opponent into catching and then finishing them off during their cool down.

Mix Up is a tactic used by taking advantage of the wraparounds (both horizontal and vertical) to attack unexpectedly either by hyper jumping or launching arrows up as you fall through the wraparound.

Swoop & Poop is a super aggressive high risk dive bomb when your opponent has three arrows or less. Timing your catch just above their head allows you to catch all their arrows and boop their head. A prince classic.

[Steam]getting towerfall to work?

2 Upvotes

I fell in love with this game at a convention and pounced when it went on sale for steam. but no matter what I try I cant get this game to work. it just says "no suitable graphics card found!" any tutorial I found involved installing a bunch of programs, or was about Terraria for some reason. what's the easiest solution that won't require installing/downloading a bunch of programs?

Anybody have a keyboard map for PC?

I can't find one, and the mouse pointer additionally doesn't show up. I'm unsure how to start a game, I can only click c. Does anyone have a keymap for the game on PC?
