Tower of Guns
Dodging bullet storms and aiming carries the whole game

Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Tower of Guns
Turrets follow fixed scripts, no adaptive opposition

Tower of Guns
Randomised rooms, guns and perks each run
Optimization4 vs 4

Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
Tower of Guns
Gun levelling and secret routes reward knowledge
