Too bad it didn’t work out. VERY impressive demo, I had a lot of fun playing it (so much that I had to play it through once more the next day). I love the intro sequence(s), the music, dialogues, stuff like the mage/slime fight, excellent credits reveal and the simple, but super-effective UI. Oh and that scene with the binoculars view – beautiful! I was in awe a lot.

P.S.: The only issue I had was that the tower is missing an (visual) entry, and that the whole rope-scene (as lovely as it is in itself) sent me on the wrong track by suggesting it was a crucial part of the puzzle.

Thanks for your kind words :)


We had heard about the door (it was meant to be an illusion) and the rope (was going to be replaced with a telephone) after testing, so I'n glad feedback has been consistent.


The project is on ice now, but if we ever come back to it that'll be what we fix :~)

My pleasure! I can assure you, I’m truly impressed. (My poor wife had to listen to my over-excited descriptions of that demo I just played.)

Regarding the illusionary door, I think adding a small animation that shows the wall desolving when »touched« could just do the trick. Though I feel something like an illusionary pathway should be reserved for a later tower (that then has the theme playing out further in its puzzles). That way the initial confusion of the player has a different quality when a tower pops up apparently sans door.

Replace the rope with a telephone?! Ha! That’s my kind of quirk! Would love to see that rope being re-purposed in a later tower as part of a puzzle, though. Loved the feel of going down that rope on the outside.

Yeah, too bad it’s on ice!  Btw, when I intially went to the Kickstarter page I was looking out for the physical release tier. Probably what a majority entices when they see Kickstarter. Sure, it’s a massive can of worms to go physical and since its actually an adaption of another game that is probably not even a possibility at all. (Are you in contact with the original author?) Though I came in already late enough to see the backing is very unlikely to work out. There’s actually a chance that in an earlier phase I would have been allured by that Pixel Art portrait tier enough.

Have a lovely day & best of luck with your ongoing projects!
