Dream Tower is a platform game released on August 28, 2010. The player controls a blue squirrel navigating around the outside of a tall tower.
Controls[edit]
Left and right arrow keys - Move
- Tap one key twice and hold for a faster run
Up arrow key - Jump, go through doors
- Tap up key twice for a double jump
Down - Perform a ground pound while in the air.
Levels[edit]
Dream Tower has twenty levels, with the final one being a boss level. In each level - except for level 20 - the blue squirrel starts at the bottom of the tower and has to enter through the gold door at the top. The player climbs the tower by jumping on a series of platforms, some of which have enemies that can also provide an additional boost if jumped on.
Ending[edit]

 The ending depicts the blue squirrel on top of the tower looking at the moon with a yellow star beside him. White stars can be seen beside the moon as well as several tiny towers. In version three of Dream tower a banner can be seen saying "Well done! You've defeated the dark kingdom and saved all your friends! | |
Enemies[edit]
Enemies can hurt the blue squirrel upon contact from the side. All enemies can be killed with a ground pound on top of their heads, and most can be killed with a regular jump. Enemies that do not die from a regular jump can still provide a jump boost to the blue squirrel, behaving like a moving spring.

Boss[edit]
Dark Matter appears as the only boss of Dream Tower, in level 20. It chases the player horizontally, both along the ground and above it. Upon first starting the battle, Dark Matter will move above ground at the same speed as the player, firing a dark orb towards the blue squirrel's general direction. After firing five orbs, Dark Matter will descend to the ground and move around the tower in a continuous direction until the player jumps or ground pounds on its head. Dark Matter will repeat these actions again and die on the second hit.
Upon Dark Matter's defeat, the player is granted 510 points and the game's completion screen will appear.
