The Cursed Tower
Manual dexterity and construction are key abilities in this fun and challenging game, where you must successfully send a single letter to the top of an impossibly tall tower. The starting levels are simple and provide a valuable training ground, but as you make your way to the top, you’ll face well-armed obstacles and fantastical enemies. You’ll need your wits, your ingenuity, and your patience to climb the tower and deliver the letter.
The game features 30 chapters with a total of 40 levels to climb and 80 puzzles to solve. The puzzles are both informational and mental, and require manual dexterity and instinct.
This game is a combination of a puzzle game and a platformer, as you must use your wits to navigate around obstacles and enemies. Your spring can be your best friend as it helps you turn around after jumping, but you'll also need good aim when shooting enemies. The bottom and the top of the tower are clearly marked, but even if you're short on time, there's no rush. The game lasts about 10-15 hours, so you can take your time and admire the scenery.
This is truly a fun game, and anyone can pick it up and start having a great time. It's got a retro feel to it, but without the battery issues and lack of camera tilt (which I thought was a nice addition). I also love the retro music and the minimalistic sound effects. I particularly liked the minor tweaks and tidbits of PC like the cursor and scaling.
The controls are very easy to master, and the topography of the levels is intuitive. I was very happy with the graphics and sound, as both were fitting for the game. I liked how smooth the movement was as well, the spring was a pleasure to use, and the enemies were nicely animated.
The manual dexterity required to solve puzzles was also satisfying. I was often surprised at how many rooms there were to navigate around, and I never felt stressed out. I've had some tense moments as the room I was facing was just too narrow, but such occurrences were rare.
As I mentioned above, there's no quest, as this is a puzzle game, not a platformer. There's no story, and I didn't really miss it. I understand that this is a platformer, but I was very content to play without all the text and backstory. I enjoyed the action, the puzzles, and the travel, and that was enough for me.
The mission is a simple one: deliver a single letter to the top of a cursed tower. But once you embark on your journey, you’ll find that it’s not just a simple delivery. As you traverse the tower, you will encounter thieves, lost children, the undead, and even the devil himself. Can you do it? Can you survive? You will soon find out.

Touch or tilt to turn. You'll need both hands, but you're not alone. Use them to grab levers, and pull them to open doors. Unlock extra lives and powerups in the form of Keys, Souls, and Gems. You can also carry a number of extra lives and keys.
The most challenging part of the gameplay is the climbing. You'll need both hands to jump to higher levels, and because the levels are so high, you can get awfully dizzy. Thankfully, you can use the tilt feature to assist in your climbing, and many of the special moves have their own tilt controls.
Finishing a level means hitting the path's goal. Each time you hit the path's goal, you'll get a box that contains coins, keys, or a special item. Completing all the levels and achievements rewards you with the biggest, rarest box yet!
Defeating the tower's boss requires not only skill, but strategy. Every boss has his own special move, so you'll have to be very quick to use them to your advantage. Some boss moves will actually attack you if you're not careful, so you'll need to pick your timing and direction carefully.
Play the levels again to unlock the next tower.
If you lose a life, the game is over. If you don't complete a level in time, it will still count as if you did. So, it's best to get through as many levels as you can.
