Tower Arcade: a close look, tips and whether it is worth your time

If you enjoy short sessions that are hard to walk away from, give this one a look. Below is everything you need before the first launch: the gist, the controls and some working techniques.

What this game is

Tower is a bright arcade timing game. Catch the falling blocks and stack the tallest tower you can. The more precisely you place each block on the previous one, the higher the structure and the more points you score. Miss three times and the tower collapses. Simple controls hide a real challenge: the block swings on a hook and must be rotated and released at just the right moment.
