Ridiculous Action-Adventure โTowelfight 2: The Monocle of Destinyโ Announced for iOS, Android
ST. LOUISย โ Feb. 26, 2013ย โย Indie studioย Butterscotch Shenanigansโย first major release,ย Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny, drops players into a feud between gods, equipped with nothing but their wits and a powerful, enchanted monocle that summons exploding animals.
An action-adventure game of epic proportions,ย Towelfight 2ย will beard-slap iOS and Android gamers alike with copious bloodplosions, procedurally-generated levels, insane boss fights, 14 power-ups, and 40 unique weapons enhanced by 80 augmentations. Players can dispatch myriad foes with a cornucopia of laser-blasting bees, speed-boosting unicorns, spiraling praying mantises, whales in heat, and ultra-defensive turtles, among others.
โWith Towelfight 2 we wanted to make a face-meltingly deep experience that justย happenedย to be on mobile, rather than make a โmobile gameโ,โ said Butterscotch co-founders (and brothers) Seth and Sam Coster. โWe looked back on the handheld games we grew up with โย Pokรฉmon,ย Zelda,ย Mega Man, etc — and noticed that the mobile space is the perfect platform for a resurgence of these kinds of rich, thoughtful games. Mobile games donโt have to be casual, and we think thereโs a critical mass of gamers chomping at the bit to get something more substantial under their thumbs.ย Towelfight 2ย will satiate that hunger.โ
Towelfight 2ย is a spiritual successor toย Towel Fight of the Gods, Butterscotchโs entry in 2012โs Global Game Jam. One ofย Towelfight 2โs key features is itsย shot rotation system, which allows players to mix and match a variety of weapon types into a single clip, then unleash them on enemies in a cyclonic flurry of insanity.
Features
- Unique Shot Rotation systemย — Build and customize a rotating clip of โJectiles to burn, poison, freeze, electrocute, pinch, and explode your enemies.
- 40 unique weapons with 80 augmentationsย — Dozens of weaponized animals to launch from your glorious monocle.
- 14 insane power-upsย โ Mix and match up to three Relics of the Gods, fill them up with the souls of your enemies, and unleash their fury!
- 10 personality-laden bossesย โ So personable you will shed a single, manly tear after defeating each one of them.
- Procedurally generated worldย โ Thousands of rooms with plenty of things to kill. There is no end to the madness.
- 5 Unique Environmentsย — Including the cute, lovable Forest and the squishy, disturbing Nightmare.
- 4 Monocles with different firing modesย – Want to shoot two โJectiles at a time, or do you prefer a โspray and prayโ approach? No matter, weโve got the monocle for you!
- 4-8 hour campaignย — Plus, for you completionists, dozens more hours of exploration and enough power grabbing to last a lifetime.
- Featuring gods, a grub, and a pugย โ A narrative for the ages from the warped minds at Butterscotch Shenanigans.
- Dungeons for the truly hardcoreย — The most powerful items in the game can only be found in the depths of Fornโs dungeons. You must earn them, andย you will die trying.
- The Arena of the Godsย — Wager coins to face increasingly more challenging armies. The more you wager, the bigger the payoff!
Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny, ordinarily priced at $2.99,ย will be available for a short-term promotional price of $0.99 for the first three days after launch.

About Butterscotch Shenanigans
Butterscotch Shenanigans is a two-man indie studio based in St. Louis and powered by brothers Seth and Sam Coster. The studio was forged in the hellish fires of game jams, bestowing upon the brothers a game development secret sauce — a blend of grit and rapid iteration, with a garnish of mouth-punchingly-tasty personality meat chunks.
What does all this mean? The Costers make games faster than you can make a batch oโ flapjacks.
Before starting Butterscotch, Seth and Sam worked at Simutronics onย One Epic Knight. Seth programmed like a beast in Unity while Sam did psychological experiments for QA and became the voice of the Epic Knight.
