HM4: Climb the Tower

Climb to the top of the tower in this 3D platformer. Explore the various floors and the different themes. Unlock heroes, equipment, skills, and potions as you go. Build your heroes to suit your playstyle. Fail over and over again as your timer runs out or you lose to stronger opponents. Refine your playstle with repeated tower runs. But don't worry, it will get easier as you unlock more content and more camp upgrades. With each run you will be able to delve deeper into the tower than before.

One of the biggest draws of Climb the Tower is the game difficulty. The game is hard, and I mean hard! But it isn't impossible. Overtime you will learn the tricks required to get through the tower. With repeated runs you will unlock more content and upgrades making the game easier. Some runs you will fail - not achieving anything - only to start over from the beginning - but that is ok. You fail and you try again. With enough pratice, patience, and determination the tower can be beaten.

Another thing I love about Climb the Tower is the different ways in which you must learn to play the game. There are different objectives to achieve, and specific ways to go about achieving them. Play the game the same way every time, and you will never conquer the tower. Enter each run with a specific objective and matching playstyle, and you will make progress. I'll leave the details for you to figure out.

And then there is the never ending tower to explore. The tower currently features 10 floors, with a different theme every two floors. Each theme has new enemies and game mechanics for you to conquere. In addition, there are a variety of things that can be unlocked throughout the tower, including equipment, spells, potions, and heroes. The current themes are forest, hell, tundra, desert, and dream. My goal is to have around 50 different tower floors, including 25 different themes within the next year or so.

Climb the Tower is as indie as it comes. It works, it's playable, it's even fun, but it isn't done. My hope is to grow this game into one that people around the world will enjoy. But I need your help. Every little thing you can do to help is important. I'm specifically requesting feedback with this release. What are your thoughts? What did you like or dislike? What really needs to be improved? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Happy Climbing,

Matthew
