Toppler

The 80s classic, rebuilt for the phone - a platform game and a puzzle in one. Pogo has to climb towers that rise out of the sea, and bring each one down. Every tower is a riddle: which ledge leads up, which box to burn first, when to ride a lift and when to wait for a robot to pass. The towers do not forgive mistakes, and many take more than one try to crack. Stuck? Every tower comes with a demo - a full recorded climb from the first step to the door at the top. Watch how it is done, then try it yourself. The towers are cylinders that turn around Pogo as he walks - the effect this game was remembered for. Robots patrol the ledges: snowballs stop some of them, others have to be dodged or jumped over - and some towers are built around exactly that. Some steps slip, some crumble under his feet, and the clock keeps running. Between towers, Pogo takes his submarine and hunts fish for bonus points. • 62 towers in nine missions, from gentle to fiendish • A demo for every tower • A practice tower that teaches the controls, where nothing can hurt you • Start again from any tower you have reached • The original time limits, or generous and relaxed ones • Thirteen languages • True to the open-source original: the same physics, timing and towers Controls: hold the left or right half of the screen to walk, and use the buttons to jump and throw snowballs; buttons for lifts and doors appear when there is something to use. Prefer gestures? Swipe to jump, tap to turn or throw. Based on Toppler by Andreas Röver and contributors, GPL-2.0-or-later.
