Have some crazy fun with The Deadly Tower of Monster's 4 player coop! Beta available now!
Along with the addition of co-op, a new hard mode has also been included for players looking to make their trek up the tower more treacherous.
Here's some info regarding the nature of the co-op:
Q: Why is this local co-op only?
A: This was a crazy feature we added by toying around with the code which started out as something that the programmers did for fun. An online mode would require reprogramming an important part of the game and is not feasible. This isn't something that was meant to be a feature of the game.
Q: Will you ever add online?
A: No. This would require remaking a substantial part of the game's code. Local coop is much more simple.
Q: How does this affect the game's story / campaign / game mechanics?
A: The game wasn't designed or balanced with co-op in mind, so many things about the coop are just things that needed to be done in a specific way in order not to break the game entirely:
Player 1 still controls the main camera.
Other players get to play with the character that player 1 chooses.
Player 1 chooses when you can aim down (due to the camera change)
Etc.
There are several obvious limitations in the co-op's implementation (because the game was created strictly as a single-player experience), however the 4 player co-op is hilarious and extremely fun.

Deadly Tower 1.03 update 8 February, 2016 - [ACE] cbordeu - Fixed bug where teleportation screen was freezing in some systems. *** - Fixed performance issue for systems using NvOptimus (which have Intel and Nvidia cards in the same computer). - Added security system to avoid rare Boss Octopus non-progression. - Some minor fixes to Russian localization. *** Note: The teleportation freeze issue was apparently happening mostly on machines under the minimum specs, so we had to get our hands on new hardware to be able to reproduce and find the problem. The issue was resolved on our new test machine that was experiencing the reported issue.
Steam: 1.02
Deadly Tower 1.02 update 22 January, 2016 - [ACE] cbordeu Very small update fixes sound ducking when subtitles are turned off. (Yesterday's patch allowed for turning subtitles off, but when the option was selected, the dialogue would not lower the game's volume properly. This was fixed now).
Steam: 1.01
Deadly Tower 1.01 update 21 January, 2016 - [ACE] cbordeu Small update for the game: The title now allows people to disable subtitles for the director in the Sound Menu.
