Tower

Frame · Built spaces spatial

A vertical structure, ascent as progress – each floor brings you closer to the top, but also further from the exit.

Design question – Your play space goes upward. What waits on each floor – new challenges, new rewards, new enemies? And what waits at the very top?

Associations

• Typical Activities – Climbing, Fighting (per floor), Resting (waystations), Observing (from above)

Coherence

Mechanisms: Level Progression (floor = level), Escalation (higher = harder), Boss Battles (tower guardians). Activities: Climbing, Fighting (per floor), Resting (waystations), Observing (from above). Ludic Organisational Structures: spatial order (linear vertical), developmental order (ascent).
