FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ST. LOUIS– Feb. 26, 2013– Indie studio Butterscotch Shenanigans’ first major release, Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny, drops players into a feud between gods, equipped with nothing but their wits and a powerful, enchanted monocle that summons exploding animals.
An action-adventure game of epic proportions, Towelfight 2 will beard-slap iOS and Android gamers alike with copious bloodplosions, procedurally-generated levels, insane boss fights, 14 power-ups, and 40 unique weapons enhanced by 80 augmentations. Players can dispatch myriad foes with a cornucopia of laser-blasting bees, speed-boosting unicorns, spiraling praying mantises, whales in heat, and ultra-defensive turtles, among others.
“With Towelfight 2 we wanted to make a face-meltingly deep experience that just happened to be on mobile, rather than make a‘mobile game’,” said Butterscotch co-founders (and brothers) Seth and Sam Coster.“We looked back on the handheld games we grew up with– Pokémon, Zelda, Mega Man, etc -- and noticed that the mobile space is the perfect platform for a resurgence of these kinds of rich, thoughtful games. Mobile games don’t have to be casual, and we think there’s a critical mass of gamers chomping at the bit to get something more substantial under their thumbs. Towelfight 2 will satiate that hunger.”
Towelfight 2 is a spiritual successor to Towel Fight of the Gods , Butterscotch’s entry in 2012’s Global Game Jam. One of Towelfight 2’s key features is its shot rotation system, which allows players to mix and match a variety of weapon types into a single clip, then unleash them on enemies in a cyclonic flurry of insanity.

A bout Butterscotch Shenanigans
Butterscotch Shenanigans is a two-man indie studio based in St. Louis and powered by brothers Seth and Sam Coster. The studio was forged in the hellish fires of game jams, bestowing upon the brothers a game development secret sauce -- a blend of grit and rapid iteration, with a garnish of mouth-punchingly-tasty personality meat chunks.
What does all this mean? The Costers make games faster than you can make a batch o’ flapjacks.
Before starting Butterscotch, Seth and Sam worked at Simutronics on One Epic Knight . Seth programmed like a beast in Unity while Sam did psychological experiments for QA and became the voice of the Epic Knight.
