Block Towers is an interesting vertical scrolling platformer for 2-4 players. It is a pure multiplayer game where you have to toss blocks around in order to throw the opponent off its carefully build tower of blocks. Nice game!
From the Homepage:
So, this is a multiplayer game for 2-4 players sitting on the same computer. It’s an action platformer with puzzle elements, and it’s about building block towers, as the title suggests.
The game has loads of special blocks and special moves and special features, but mainly it’s based around a simple idea. Actually I was a bit inspired by that article Paul Eres wrote some time ago about agressive games(about destroying stuff) and tending games(about building stuff). The games from when I was little that I remember the most had both elements, you both build and destroy in a fine balance. I wanted to create something like that. Also it has a very clear element of stress that I always enjoy in games.
