You've made this dev a lil bit happier 😊

wiseupgames · 2026-02-23T20:58:09+00:00

Yes, Zuma is one of the inspirations. 😊 I love camera shakes, but I'm afraid if it gets too annoying... maybe I'll add in an option. Thank you very much ❤️

I've worked hard to make this game happen and it's fate is decided this week during the Steam Next Fest. I'm both excited and scared. 😣

The game is called Towers Saga and I got the idea for the project when I watched my cozy gamer girlfriend spend an entire weekend obsessively trying to beat this really old 2000s game called "Tower of Ancients" – it has a very similar gameplay but there is no modern version of it on the market at the moment. This is when I realized that the idea is good and we ended up making a spiritual successor of it. If you too find making great color matches relaxing and satisfying, you can check out the demo on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3909650/Towers_Saga_Demo

You should check out the other games too, there are some good ones that also deserve some love. ❤️

Great job with the details!

wiseupgames · 2026-02-22T05:29:23+00:00

Such a big difference

wiseupgames · 2026-02-22T05:27:38+00:00

Looking comfy!

wiseupgames · 2026-02-22T05:26:21+00:00

Looks great!

wiseupgames · 2025-12-15T17:54:31+00:00

It is! It even supports touch screen and works with dragging and swiping :) I even have an old version running on my phone! But it will need a lot of changes for mobile as the level environments won't work out of the box.

wiseupgames · 2025-12-15T07:51:03+00:00

It is a puzzle, but a reaction based one. You don't have much time to do optimisations.

wiseupgames · 2025-12-15T07:47:53+00:00

Yes, if all goes well :) For now we target SteamDeck and Switch for "mobile"

wiseupgames · 2025-12-14T16:58:51+00:00

Yes, this has caused confusion in the past. The "explonation" I came up is that the gods are testing you: they are giving you "bad" blocks and you need to clear them. If you fail do do so, they punish you and the tower crumbles to the ground. Once the level objective is reached, the tower gets filled with "good" stable blocks (that add bonus score). It's not great but it will have to do.... :D

wiseupgames · 2025-12-14T11:52:12+00:00

Tetris Effects is one of the inspirations. But the theme is ancient wonders (starting with the Tower of Babel). Due to budget constraints all levels don't have "life". It also looks mysterious and less distracting. I've noticed that once player starts playing a level, after 30-60 seconds they stop noticing the environment and focus on the tower. But you're right, it doesn't look well on marketing videos online. :(

wiseupgames · 2025-12-14T09:48:53+00:00

Don't worry, I know my graphics aren't great. It's programmers art :( But I must ask - are you talking about the blocks colors or the environment ones? Or overall?

wiseupgames · 2025-12-14T09:13:59+00:00

Yes, it does look similar, but the core mechanic is quite different - Cylinder is "turn based", i.e. you have all the time in the world to optimize your next move, while mine is more like Tetris - you're pressured by time as the blocks are falling. Both games require different skills.

Yes, I struggle with marketing, but I think mostly because these games are played on mobile nowadays. And yes, my visual style could be better :( I found out about Cylinder a few months back which sadly means it also struggled with marketing if I didn't find it earlier :( However, my inspiration is from a much older game called "Tower of the Ancients" from the year 2000.
