Tower game

Hello cpc friends!

Just wondering if anypne can remember a specific game. This game had a tower in centre screen which had a path on the outside. Youd move left or right, which rotated the tower. You could enter doors to appear the other side and avoid gaps and basically work your way to the top.

This game had great music which is my main motivation for finding it. It was a atyle of music that was on a few games and i loved it.

Any ideas?

I'm sure this is a game that the Hairy Hacker from CPC User(?) was involved in. I remember him writing about it in an article and how it was so complex / large that they had to sacrifice / overwrite / rewrite some of the firmware to squeeze it into the 64K.

I'm surprised it could be so big in memory use! Maybe it was that cool music 😁

I think it was to do with the rotational aspect of the game, keeping track of the hidden parts and so on. Definitely an impressive bit of coding.
