About

Tricky Towers is a tower-building puzzle game developed by WeirdBeard.

In Tricky Towers, the players have to stack the falling blocks of a building into one tower. The game bears some resemblance to Tetris with the difference being the objective to stack the blocks instead of clearing rows of them. The rows do not disappear. The game is physics-based, so the player can't win by just dropping the blocks in a random manner. Several in-game events are present, for example, the blocks may drop faster or become slippery. Sometimes the blocks even double in size. You play as a wizard that competes against other wizards and has to build his tower as tall and stable as possible.

It is possible to cast spells that either assist the players or make the building harder for other wizzards. The players can use 17 spells Throughout a match. Light magic spells are used for making the gameplay easier for the player while Dark magic spells make it harder for your opponents to progress.

Three game modes are present: Race, Puzzle, and Survival. A handful of single-player challenges is also available where the player has to meet certain game conditions to succeed.

Tricky Towers reviews and comments

A nice little puzzle game

«Sit back and relax»

«Better with friends»

TRicky Towers is a purebred Party game that involves stacking the Puzzle Pieces known from Tetris onto a Tower in 3 different Disciplines. Unlike Tetri'S full Rows, instead you have added Gravity to the Game, whereby parts that Rise too far beyond the Edge also fall down, or if necessary remain skewed. The Game is Spiced up by Mario-Kart-like Gimmicks, with which you can either add a Bonus to yourself or inflict a Malus on the Opponents. For example, one can cast a "Spell" through which the falling Puzzle Pieces of the Opponents rotate arbitrarily, become huge or the like. In addition to Online Games, the game Also allows for a local Multiplayer mode for up to 4 Players, and this should also be the Core element of the game, because nothing is more Fun than seeing (and hearing) how the Tower Of the Seat neighbour is just collapsing in itself while you are Even on the Verge of completing the wind-skewed Artwork. As I said, a fun Party Game, but with only 3 Game Modes, it offers a little too little Variety. Quickly played, quickly put away again, and quickly scrambled again for Party nights. From me there is a Buy recommendation, but not at full Price, but it offers too little Variety.

So up front away, this alleged "wonky mechanic/physics" is intentional. Can no one do anything for it if others can't stack their Blocks:-) Hold The blocks when they are well or are placed against the target; What's not going on Are things like a 1x4 long Block to put in a 1x1 large opening, so look the 3/4 out on the Side and then believe it would have to hold, as in normal Tetris. You Don't want that here at all, because otherwise it would be far too easy to build these Towers. It is Played alone against Bots or with up to 3 Players local/online. The Shape of the Blocks is very reminiscent of Tetris, because they are probably exactly the same (!) but you only have a limited sized Platform on which vllt 3-4 Blocks fit next to each other, which is your Surface for stacking the Blocks. In "Race" Mode, the Finish Line is gradually increased when reaching, which also unlocks certain Abilities for your Avatar. You can then choose between advantage for you (Blocks merge with each other) or Disadvantage for the Opponent (a set Block flies away from the Opponent at once ^^), in total there are 17 white and 17 black Spells. If you reach the top of the list, you should take care that his "Structure" ^^ still holds at least 3sec, only then can you put the Tower tip on it and drive (builds) the Victory. Great Graphics, enough Modes, just unfortunately a very small Community. So more of a Kind of "Jonga" with Tetris blocks for local/online games. Great game!
