Crystal Towers 2

$5 through Fastspring secure ordering Transfer your save over from the free edition and keep playing Open the full Music Castle and recover the eight instruments Enter all 33 levels and 14 bosses Which make up nearly 300 individual challenges More gameplay than time left in your natural lifespan* Synthesize items to gather a library of special abilities Complete your scorecard and look down on all the people who downloaded the version over on the right there Get an intangible spark of inner satisfaction! (* If you're a medium-sized insect)

Explore the lower floors and levels of the Music Castle Recover one of the eight Music Crystals Complete about 15% of the game Which is still a decent amount, really Pick up enemy drops and try out the synthesizer Track your progress on the castle's complimentary Internet and show off your scorecard and achievements online Comes with a free slight feeling of incompleteness until you get that version over on the left

I know, I can't quite believe it either, but the above links are genuine. They go to the actual, complete free and full ($5) releases of Crystal Towers 2. Which means the unthinkable has happened - I have finished it. I've already had two orders and I hadn't even mentioned it anywhere yet.

Here, have a dizzying array of screenshots.



Thanks once again to absolutely everyone who contributed graphics or their time for testing this thing exhaustively - Adam, Hempuli, Chris, Hayo, Jared, J (Freude), crassadon, kjorteo, ravenworks, quadralien, rakarr, wolfekko and of course Whitney for encouraging me to get it finished (perhaps mostly so that she'll see me emerge from the basement office every once in a while now). Perhaps, at some point, I'll return to a normal life.

But not just yet, because I have to work on the Flash advertising version.

AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Power went out on me mid-game earlier, and it seems to have corrupted my save file. Says it was created on a different version of the game, so now it won't load it.

There are no words to express my rage right now. None that I use with friendly company anyway.

Inspiring old-fashioned console rage already - but that's not a good thing! Email me your save file (it'll be in your Application Data, called [player name].ct2) and I'll see what I can do to reconstruct it.

Such is the dangers of emulating the era of video gaming that gave TV Tropes the "Nintendo Hard" page, I guess. :/

Anyway, email sent.


EDIT: SUCCESS!! :D
