It's the best multiplayer game in years! I enjoy it more than both Samurai Gunn and Nidhogg, and I loved both those games. Just an excellent multiplayer experience, I've spent dozens of hours on the Ouya version with my friends at school (game design school). If you've got friends to play with it's a guaranteed good time.
I was very annoyed when this site glossed over Towerfall vanilla for launch game of the year. The biggest problem with Towerfall is that not enough people are playing it!

Thanks, Gilby. I've got some friends coming over tomorrow, and we'll likely wind up playing some Towerfall.
Speaking of Towerfall, why haven't we gotten a 4-player quick look of it? Is it because then they'd have to admit to its wrongful dismissal as launch game of 2013? (but seriously, why no quick look?)
Despite seemingly having a tonne of fun the GB crew seem intent on dismissing Towerfall. I love both games for different reasons and played samurai gunn first and was similarly dismissive of Towerfall when I first heard about it. But after playing through the campaign (yes there's a campaign!) I'm incredibly impressed. The mechanics are super tight and the gameplay is deep despite you only needing two buttons a trigger and a stick. Also the animation and sound track and effects are superb with nice little touches like your hood/crown coming off when an arrow flies past your head or your cloaks catching fire when you're near an explosion. It's a pretty good game which is disappointing to get dismissed next to samurai gunn which is just as fun, yet not nearly as polished as Towerfall.
I haven't played either but Towerfall definitely looks like it offers a lot more options when you get bored than Samurai Gunn which is a bit of a one-trick-pony.

They just played it on UPF last week. I don't know what happened to that archive though, hope it comes back soon

You mean this archive? http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/unprofessional-fridays-03-21-2014/2300-8663/
... is personnaly my favorite of the couch co-op game. Between Towerfall and Samurai Gunn, I feel like Towerfall is more varied and has more interesting gametype than Samurai Gunn.
