Tower of Baybayin

An early version of Tower of Baybayin, an educational game that teaches and tests players in their knowledge of the Baybayin writing system. 

Note: there's currently no sound, the display window should ideally not be resized, and the game is fairly difficult and without a proper learning system. Please stay tuned for future updates!

For more information on Baybayin, I recommend checking out this site for a basic overview and history of the writing system:

As seen at imagineNATIVE 2019 in Toronto, Ontario!

Wow, I'm finally posting this game online! Despite having already premiered it at imagineNATIVE, I've been too afraid to actually upload it anywhere because it's not done. But after over a year of just sitting on it I realized that I can just....upload it anyways. So here it is!! I'm between jobs right now so I have time to continue development on ToB again, so hopefully I'll be able to upload a first update within the coming few weeks! In the meantime, please let me know any questions or feedback you have for Tower of Baybayin so that I may consider them for updates. Thanks so much!

Updates to come:

• window scaling display issue fixes
• sound! music and sfx
• scoring system
• gameplay difficulty options
• a proper character introduction/teaching system
• big graphics overhaul!! most assets are just placeholders at the moment
• possibly an option to run the game in-browser? 
• a mobile app version
