Today is the day! Tempest Tower is out now on Steam Early Access. We are so excited to see what you think of the game and to continue to refine it alongside the community.
We are collecting feedback (and bug reports 😬) via the Steam Community Hub and over on the Half Past Yellow Discord Server. For bugs, it would be helpful if you used the Mega Thread, as it is easier for us to keep track of things as they come up.
An Early Access Game
Tempest Tower is the first game we have ever released via Early Access. It is a strange feeling for us, because the game isn't finished yet. For better, or for worse, the previous games we have released as a studio didn't launch with planned updates or ongoing development in mind.
We are looking forward to trying something new with Tempest Tower and we have spent the last 6 months learning as much as we could about making a great Early Access game. The Half Past Yellow team are proud what Tempest Tower is today, but we also know that the game will improve so much over this Early Access period. We hope that you will join us on this journey to build a game that everyone in the community is proud of.
Today Tempest Tower contains:
- A Tutorial + 4 Levels
- 14 Towers
- 28 Draftable Upgrades
- 2-3 hours of core playtime (+ endless replayable fun)
Got Questions? Check the FAQ
We have pinned a Tempest Tower FAQ in the Discussion tab of the Community HUB. We will keep it up to date as more questions are asked frequently.
Development Roadmap
While Tempest Tower is in Early Access, we will publish roadmap updates as we add new content to the game so you are always aware of upcoming changes to Tempest Tower. Take a look!

A Half Past Yellow Bundle
Tempest Tower is Half Past Yellow's second commercial game (if you want to see some of our less commercial titles you can take a look at our itch page). To celebrate this we have created a Tempest Tower x Time on Frog Island bundle, so if you haven't tried ToFI yet, then there has never been a better time to start your island hopping adventure! Check it out here.
