 Multiple reviewers cited TowerFall as the standout game for the Ouya microconsole at the time of its launch . The Penny Arcade Report 's Ben Kuchera called the game " the Ouya 's killer app " , Polygon 's Russ Frushtick and Chris Plante said that TowerFall was the reason to purchase an Ouya . Destructoid 's Spencer Hayes said that he did not consider purchasing the Ouya until he played TowerFall . He added that the game had a " deceptive level of depth " . Eurogamer described its reputation as " the only thing worth playing on Ouya " . The added cost of additional controllers ( for four @-@ player local multiplayer ) exceeded the cost of the new console itself , and was cited as a negative for the game , though later offset by its support for Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers . Plante later described the original release as " critically beloved , humbly sold " , " punching way above its weight class " with recognition on the <unk> lists of Ars Technica and Polygon .
