About the app

Secret Tower is an iOS pixel art game, inspired by games like Tomb of the Mask or Timberman. Game is about a knight who is trying to get to the highest floor of the tower. Hovewer, there are dangerous things awaiting him there. You are playing as this knight, and you should try to make it as high as possible. On every floor, there are two doors. You come through one of them, and you have to leave with the other one.
After certain number of floors, there is a boss level. You have to defeat the boss in order to go further. Every boss is different with unique level design.

Development

The development of Secret Tower took over 5 months. For the animations and gameplay we used SpriteKit framework.
There were multiple stages of development, from which first was to make a simple prototype for testing the gameplay. Later on, from this prototype we created a core gameplay system of the game, around which we started to build whole environment of the game.

Xcode software with the program code

Future plans

Secret Tower is not finished, but it's at a very advanced stage. There is a lot to do still, but the architecture is well designed and futher improvements should not have problem with implementation.
Since the project was postponed in 2020(due to my heavy study load) it hasn't been finished yet.

Currently, there is still some music and sound effects to be added, some animations are not finished yet.
One of the ways that game can be improved, is to add funny features, like more skins, animations and easter egg perks.
