New level elements, final boss, ending, and modding features added after leaving Early Access

TOKYO – 2 June, 2022 — TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity, the 2D roguelike action-platformer set in a regenerating tower developed by //commentout and published by PLAYISM, ascends from Steam Early Access into version 1.0 on PC and climbs onto Nintendo Switch today.

Five prisoners seek freedom from the ever-changing maze of the infernal Tower of Perpetuity. Start the ascension as one of these heroes, each with their own magical skill like screen-clearing blasts or spinning knives to ward off hordes of foes, and use careful platforming while the skill recharges. Skillfully dodge each boss’s bullet-hell attacks by strategically using the platforms to avoid their attack patterns and strike when their shields drop.

The tower refreshes with a brand new layout every 24 hours, with all climbers worldwide tackling the same procedurally-generated tower. Discover branching paths each run by praying to one god or another, and find the best approach to the top. After every completed level and defeated boss, find ranks of daily challengers who haven’t let their characters die in the ascending labyrinth. Both Nintendo Switch and Steam players around the world share the same online leaderboards, competing for the undisputed crown each day.

Those who fail have the choice to resurrect using a candy if they fall on the way up or leave a message of hope, encouragement, or utter fury for the next challenger to read during their climb on the online server. Aim to rank high on the leaderboard before the end of the day and start from zero, again, the next day, forever. Those who played in Early Access should return to the tower, fight a new final boss, and discover a new ending, also in the Switch version.

Version 1.0 on PC and Nintendo Switch features the debut of official playable custom characters, featuring their own unique custom art, animation, dialogue, and cutscenes. Play as collaboration characters such as the Diane the Mighty Goose Cosplayer, designed by Mighty Goose developer Richard Lems of Blastmode Games. His custom character adorns the climber with a goose-shaped hat and turns her into a honking Thanksgiving centerpiece turkey upon failure. Also available at launch is a creation by the multitalented and popular illustrator, graphics designer, and VTuber Sedeto! 

Steam players can create their own unique characters to integrate into the game. Apart from official custom characters, many Japanese illustrators and artists have produced amazing artwork for the game, which will be displayed in a random order during loading screens for all to enjoy.

“We’re lining up many great collaborations for custom skins and can’t wait to see what everyone makes now that TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity graduated from Early Access,” said saebashi, Founder, //commentout. “Building this tower was a huge effort and I can’t wait for Switch players to make their first climb to the top!”

TOKOYO: The Tower of Perpetuity is availablefor $11.99, on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch with support for English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese text.

Players Can Now Expand Their Field of Play and Unlock New Powers in Gram Games’ Popular Puzzle Adventure

SAN FRANCISCO – June 2, 2022 – Today, Zynga Inc., a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced that the hit puzzle adventure from Gram Games, Merge Dragons!, has launched Arcadia, a new permanent map for players to explore and make their own. The mysterious new realm essentially doubles the game’s customizable play area, empowering players to discover new relics and unlock brand new items and rewards.

In Merge Dragons! players hatch and nurture dragons who use their powers to heal mystical land and recharge their energy in their Dragon Camp home base. With this new update, players can now uncover Arcadia and its secrets. Arcadia’s map is as big as the original Camp and is similarly shrouded in fog, which players will need to lift in order to reach new areas. As players progress through the premium area, they will discover rewards and items, including exclusive relic chains specially designed for different dragon breeds.

Arcadia can be accessed through the Beacon in players’ Dragon Camp, which is unlocked once players have reached 2,000 Dragon Power. The Beacon will then reveal the new fog-covered map, which players can clear as they increase their Arcane Levels by obtaining Arcane Chests.

“Merge Dragons! continues to thrive by building on the innovative puzzle mechanic it introduced to mobile gamers while further immersing players and their dragons in the game world,” said Eren Yanik, Chief Product Officer at Gram Games. “The new Arcadia map symbolizes our goal to keep evolving the Merge world and introduce new design-forward features that expand the in-game experience.”

Merge Dragons! is available to download free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, as well as Google Play. For more information about Merge Dragons! visit the game’s community channels on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and YouTube.
