Treasure Tower started life as "Random Platform Game Experiment" last summer. The objective of the game is to get to the top of the tower by going through a series of short rooms which are randomly selected from a room bank. A sort of platform Wario Ware, if you like.
While in the tower, the clock is constantly running - it starts at 36 seconds, and running into obstacles such as spikes or the ghosts that inhabit the towers will temporarily speed it up, making progress more difficult.
Time can be restored by finding food, which appears every three or four rooms. Treasure can also be collected for points - there are fifteen tokens in every room, though there are also nine special "treasure rooms" with more (one of which features in the demo).
The demo tower lasts for twenty rooms and has a bank of 40 possibilities to choose from, so it may be a few playthroughs before you see all of them. The full game features ten towers, and I'm aiming for 200 rooms (170 of them are complete at the moment).
I'm also planning to include some bonus rooms created by members of the community - to all those who replied to the forum post a while ago, I haven't forgotten! Comment if you're interested in providing a few.
Most of the soundtrack is composed of ragtimes by Scott Joplin, and they were sequenced by Warren Trachtman (although admittedly he hasn't replied to my email asking for permission to use his sequences yet). The rest of the music, the graphics and the program are by me.
The controls are the standard Click-game setup: Left and Right move, Up and Down toggle switches, Shift jumps. Game controllers are also supported if you select them from the title screen. More details of the game are explained in the tutorial that you'll get when you start the demo tower.
There's also a preview for the full game at the end of the demo. And it features the Fish Polka written by Lee Jackson. If that doesn't get you to download it, I don't know what will.
