You may have heard me call for Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands to be ported to PS4 a couple of times, but in the meantime Tricky Towers could be a decent substitute. It has cheerful (non pixel!) graphics, up to 4 player local or on-line battles, and a simple yet clever premise.
“Tricky Towers is a multiplayer, physics-based tower building game,” say the fabulously named developers, WeirdBeard. “Players have to build a tower with tetrominoes and be faster and better at it than their opponents. To spice things up, players can also use magic spells to either support their own structure or mess up the towers of their opponents.”
Race mode finds you battling to build a tower to a certain height and keep it standing for three seconds, whilst Survivor gives you a number of lives and you lose one each time a tetrominoe tumbles. Further game modes are promised along with a single player campaign.
I rather like the look of this game, like Bubble Bobble it’s a simple idea that could prove devilishly challenging. That’s going straight in my basket!
