The Tower is such a treat
is exactly my kind of thing. It's a Pico-8 game created by the luminously talented designer Tallywinkle, and I've been playing it on-and-off since last week. I think on-and-off is actually the best, and perhaps the only true, way to enjoy this.
A few things here. The Tower won me over from the moment that it announced itself via a friend, the dep-ed of Edge, as a game about climbing a tower. This is something I never tire of in games. Crackdown, Arkham, I just love a good tower.
Speaking of harmony, while I've been playing The Tower, I've been reading a bit about Bing and its new AI. Of course, I tell myself, I would never fall for that. Not now that I've read this piece in The Verge, anyway, and can pass its insights off as my own in conversation and in pieces like this. And yet as I smugly go back to my day, I play The Tower, and, without noticing, I start to obsess about the dice rolls that move me between each floor. The random numbers. I start to see patterns in them.
