"We set out to make a game that is both a tower offense game and a tower defense game at thesame time," explained Mitchell Yu, Vice-President of Game Design. "Towerful lets you build yourtowers anywhere next to another tower of yours. The enemy can, too. Also, the position of yourtowers are not locked into a grid. Like most tower defense games, the towers fight on their own, butyou can also press down on your towers to generate extra force fields for more firepower and todisrupt the flying saucers."

"We spent several weeks writing electronic music for Towerful to make the game more exciting,"added Trenton Yu, Vice-President of Quality Assurance. "The boss level even has its own themesong!"

"We hope everyone will try our game and give us feedback so we can add more missions or evenmake a sequel," said the two brothers.
