A word of praise for the JRS fastLoad system which
downloads this large program every time, without fail, and
in under 40 seconds flat!
Tumble Towers invites you to move a blob up a tower of ladders
until the top is reached. Once at the top, you've won and
the blob celebrates by diving from the topmost ladder into a
small pool, making a large splash.
A split screen shows the tower on the left of the screen and the
questions you have to answer are generated screen right.
These questions can be tricky! You are presented with a series
of letters or numbers or graphics characters and it's up to you to
find the next in the series. Of course, you're penalised if you
take too long and your score is shown at the end of each run.
The program is menu-driven, runs well, is bug free, is written
completely in Basic and uses tons of PRINT AT statements. The Menu
shows the options open to you: instructions, demonstration, and
three levels of difficulty.
A clever idea, thoughtfully presented and addictive in play.
