51 Great Games Like Towerfall Games Rated General (G) and Younger

Our experts have spent time searching for great games similar to Towerfall and have found the following:

Towerfall is a fighting platform game where each player selects a pixelated knight and fights to eliminate opponents by shooting them with arrows or jumping on their heads. The arena is a single shared screen. What makes it so competitive is the limited resource of arrows and the ability to dodge and catch them if you get the timing right. It’s frantic and requires a lot of shouting and screaming from participants. It’s a great family battle because of the simple action, short rounds and ability to extensively customise power-ups, teams, weapons and ways to claim victory.

Unfortunately, Towerfall is not available on Android or iOS. However, we recommend the following games that offer a similar experience or theme:
