Gameplay[edit | edit source]

The player character Sara can walk on platforms and can perform the following actions: double jump, wall slide, wall jump, and a spin attack that can damage enemies[1]. The tower consists of four environments encountered sequentially[1], each which consists of randomly selected level sections, along with the different mechanics of each environment[1]. Upon reaching the end of each environment, the player can receive a positive enhancement from one of three upgrade capsules[2], but only if they have killed a number of enemies to get keys[1].

Gamemodes[edit | edit source]

  • Daily Tower - This mode presents a unique run every day that can be replayed endlessly and that is identical for every player, regardless of the platform they're playing on. The levels layouts as well enemies and upgrades will always be the same. The weapons found in chests will follow two different seeds, depending in the player's suit: all suits that use the default gun will get identical results from chests, while suits that use a unique gun will get their own set of weapons from chests.
  • Hard Mode - In this mode, all enemies have double their usual health.

Environments[edit | edit source]

The game has four environments: Gatehouse, Library, Vault, and Chamber[1]. Each environment has its own game mechanics and enemies.

  • Gatehouse - Default mechanics.
  • Library - This environment has horizontal screen wrapping, allowing the player to transport to the other side of the screen when going past the opposite end.
  • Vault - This environment has a hazardous grinder platform that is constantly ascending from below.
  • Chamber - This environment has limited lighting.
