Tower Toppler Overview
Tower Toppler is a game where the player controls a small green character tasked with destroying eight towers. These structures are poisoning the water of otherwise habitable planets, providing the motivation for the mission.
Gameplay involves navigating the exterior of each tower to reach its summit. The player must avoid or dispatch various enemies while ascending. Vertical progress is primarily made by timing jumps onto moving platforms.
A notable technical feature for its era was the visual presentation. To create a pseudo 3D effect, the tower rotates around the character, who remains centered on the screen.
Travel between the towers is handled in a separate submarine sequence. This segment plays as a side scrolling stage where items can be collected for bonus points.
