Description
Escape from an incredibly dangerous, randomly generated tower in a slapstick, roguelite adventure that looks like a cartoon and feels like a joke. Slashy slashy!Lucky Tower Ultimate is a chaotic, comedy roguelike. Embark on a quest with the delightfully narcissistic knight, Von Wanst, as he finds himself zapped into the perplexing Tower with no armor, weapons, or clear path to escape. Seek aid (and extra firepower) from a lovable cast of quirky companions. With each death, Von Wanst is transported back to the top of the randomly generated Tower to start again, ensuring that no two journeys are ever the same.
Infused with slapstick humor and a hand-drawn aesthetic, each escape attend feel like an immersive cartoon. Lucky Tower encourages improvisation, mastery, and learning as you play. Experiment with puzzles and enemies, and take your time to learn the twists and tricks of the Tower if you want to survive.
History
The original Lucky Tower games were a two-part flash game series about the clumsy medieval hero Von Wanst. First released in 2010, with the sequel released in 2012, Lucky Tower 1 is based on quick intuitive gameplay and machine-gun-frequency slapstick, while Lucky Tower 2 lets you explore a vast world – though nonetheless soaked in the impromptu humour that made both titles accumulate millions of clicks among fans.
Lucky Tower Ultimate is the first premium title in the cult classic series, continuing the formula of choosing between three mysterious doors. Lucky Tower beckons seasoned fans and new players alike to experience the unique pleasure of getting all geared up... just to slip on a banana peel and die.
Features
- From broccoli to dead enemies, everything in the game can be used as a weapon
- A village for commerce, meta-progression, and a customizable home awaits you after you escape the tower
- Companions and enemies react to the way you treat them - friends turn to foes if you step on their toes, and villains can open doors for you if you help them out along the way
- Journey through the tower to find 200+ items, ranging from Golden Armor to a honk horn, and 40+ traps, like barrels of dynamite and bee hives
- Randomly generated levels and haircuts keeps every playthrough fresh
- Hand-drawn 2D graphics that feel like an immersive cartoon
- Full voice acting makes for kickin’ times and smashing punchlines
- Multiple ways to exit the tower, including a dark and atmospheric Cave
- Learn and experiment without limitations (or hand holding)
- Unlock companion quests by escaping the tower with them by your side and destroy the tower in the endgame that concludes the story

The Studio
STUDIO SEUFZ (En: "Studio Sigh”) was founded in 2017 by Stefan Michel, Anselm Pyta and Benedikt Hummel, all alumni of the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, with the goal to create unique animations and games with soul. The studio is based in Stuttgart, Germany.
Anselm and Benedikt started out creating small Flash games and animations, some of which became viral hits on the internet, including MURDER and LUCKY TOWER and LUCKY TOWER 2, earning over 200 million clicks.
The studio’s first premium release was Anselm Pyta's experimental PC game The Longing. It was a 2020 IGF finalist for the Nuovo Award. The Longing was released March 5th, 2020, to critical acclaim and great responses from players.
Studio Seufz are currently working on their second premium game, Lucky Tower Ultimate, the fully realized title following the Lucky Tower flash series. It launched into Early Access in September 2024.
