A puzzle-platformer. Climb the tower, uncover the mystery.



There are stories...an urban legend of sorts with a twist of truth to them - of people going to sleep one night, and then waking up in a bizarre, surreal world. After getting their bearings, they always find that they are at the base of a huge tower, which appears to go on forever. Those who have survived this ordeal all say that upon seeing the tower, they were struck with the urge to climb it, as if their very survival depended on it.

However, attempting to probe any deeper into what happened to these poor souls during their ascent up the tower always leads to the same thing - a glassy stare into nothingness, and the same monotone phrase muttered over and over again until a sedative can be administered:

"De Toren."

You know, I ended up playing this for *much* longer than I thought I was going to. It's actually a pretty neat concept.

All I would say is: does it need the countdown timer, and the falling anvils, and all that sort of stuff? Seems like it might work equally well/better as a pure puzzler -- i.e. just find the route to the end. That's why I liked level 13. Short, sweet, and the ability to take alternate routes to the end if you use yer noggin.

And pleeeease stick to the ethereal music from level 3.

Thanks for the feedback. That's an interesting idea, taking out the action elements. I have had thoughts about such things...sequel or spinoff maybe?
