ReplyDeleteAs always, the right amount of difficulty to have me frustrated but still engaged until finished.
My pet peeve with browser platforming games is to not have the littlest bit of leniency when you hit the jump key just before your character has his feet touching the ground, though. And when the going gets tough, it can get really really frustrating.
Help! I'm stuck in the main tower where I can take three platforms up, but both rooms to the sides are locked. I don't know where else i can go

ReplyDeleteYes, I think I know what you mean. This is not straightforward but at that point you should go back all the way downstairs where more passages have opened.
I really hate that you can't walk onto a pressure plate!
ReplyDeleteI gave up after doing so much, but there was no way to finish.
I chased the light beam around & around but got stuck.
The beam is too fast for jumping over the platform.
Perhaps if I could run under it & onto the pressure plate.
Some annoying puzzles here and there but overall great level design.
ReplyDeleteLove the game- reminds me of a game from years ago- I want to say it was called the temple of snakes? I'm stuck on the bit where i'm outside near the top of the towers? the first light platform goes up but I have nothing from the second one? Any help?
ReplyDeleteAs someone with very poor coordenation I get so frustrated when something depends on very precise timing...
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed this game, Tower of the Scorched Sea, a lot more then the Temple of the 4 Serpents mostly because I was actually able to beat this one although it took me about 3 hours to do so. I definitely think the most annoying part in the whole game is the timing puzzle with the 5 pressure plates in the section that introduces the blue light. I really liked the uniqueness of the sun boss fight and the victory cutscene. The boss fight took me a few tries to get the right volley of attacks but didn't take me nearly as long as the hard puzzles in the blue light section. I definitely give this game a 10 out of 10 overall.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLoving the game! I'm finally outside the tower, and I'm stuck on the first section with blue sky and a shining sun. There are two boxes, one of which creates rising laser platforms that move up through a knife bank. The other doesn't make platforms, because the laser arriving at the box is too weak. I can't find anything to do here! Please advise! Thanks!
Anon 2:25, I am not sure where you are. I went to the start of the blue sky section, and the first rising platforms come from two boxes which alternate. Perhaps you have a bug with the second box not generating a platform? I did nothing to make it work; the lasers were evenly pulsing between the two when I came on screen.
ReplyDeleteFantastic game from Ferociter, as always. I replay them all, and this one will be no exception.
ReplyDeleteI love this game. It reminds me of game of my child hood, figuring out a puzzle but my fingers cant pull it off, turning it on, trying again and after several attempts pulling it off. Rinse repeat, I love it. Hope the end is satisfying, not there yet.
ReplyDeleteK, yea, SERIOUSLY satisfying ending, boss fight and everything. Super great game, awesome find bart
