Tower To The Sun is a game about our legacy to the planet and our children. I incorporated the 10 Seconds theme by having the player's character live his entire life in only ten seconds. When that character dies, a new one is born.
Your goal is to improve your surroundings so future people will reach the the goal of building a tower to the sun.
Controls are Left and Right Arrows to move, X to build and C to smash.
To play the game, just unzip and run the .exe file.
Make sure you extract the entire zip, running the .exe from inside the zip file will most likely cause a crash :)
Really really cool concept, but you might want to make a deadzone or some kind of warning When you're about to die because I keep accidentally blocking myself off from my tower because I die in the middle of a button press. I love the game though.
This is really good. I love the little aging animation in particular, it's a cute touch. There are a few "ten-second lifespan" games out there, but this is a more interesting use of that mechanic than most. Nice work!
A neat take on the theme while still being time-based. Didn't feel like I was accomplishing much or making interesting gameplay decisions while playing, though.
I made it to the sun! I loved that you're presented with a monumental task up front and you slowly build your way up to it. The different lifetimes gave the game some extra meaning. Nice job!
Doesn't seem to work for me - getting a black screen with a large cursor and pressing anything on the keyboard will close it. Looks interesting though! Am using an Acer Aspire 8943g laptop with i5 if that's any kinda help.
Nice game. Needed 27 lifetimes to reach the sun. :) Wasn't too easy figuring out a strategy to actually reach it. But I did, Bam! And enjoyed it despite the obvious repitition involved. Also, I like your TL;DR text. :P
Apparently, this game doesn't notice (or doesn't have) the frame limit, so it runs with insane speed on my machine. I've got more than 300 death before stacking only the 5 levels, and it's going too fast.
@HD408, the game runs at 60 frames per second. Can you give me more info about your computer system so I can figure out what might be wrong? What OS are you running, etc.? Anyone else having this problem?
Interesting entry, it would be good if there was a little bit of challenge. I like the concept of a 10 second lifespan, I'd like to see the idea developed further.
The story that the game tells is interesting, and is a good take on the 10 seconds theme. I can even interpret the game's repetitiveness as part of the story (have patience), but I think a little more depth to the game could make the story more compelling.

Yes they died 260 times I believe.
Took me 36 life times. The last bit is nasty, since you have to block yourself to reach the sun.
Still, there's a good idea over there.
What OS are you running, etc.?
