Version 2.1 (released Mar 8, 2014)
Based on user feedback, I made a small modification to the first part of the game to make that section a little easier. It does NOT alter the solution; rather, it provides a hint towards the right direction.
Version 2.0 (released Mar 4, 2014)
The classic PowerPoint game has been rewritten in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. What does this mean for you?
- To avoid conflicting names with another game, I renamed Escape the Tower to Escape a Tower.
- Escape a Tower is playable natively on a Web browser. The game loads more quickly, has a smaller file size, and best of all, you no longer need to download a file and open PowerPoint to play!
- You can also play Escape a Tower on mobile devices, such as the iPhone, iPad, Nexus, Samsung Galaxy, you name it!
- New save feature. If you exit the game before you beat it, you are now able to load the game from your nearest checkpoint!
- The game now tracks how many Game Over's you get while playing, which is displayed at the end of the game.
- Corrects some grammatical errors.

Oct 23, 2010
Development of Escape a Tower begins. The game originally starts out as a card game before my friends and family suggest the game to be created for the computer instead. I try using Microsoft Word to create the game, but that does not end up too well. In the end, Microsoft PowerPoint proves to be the best option at the time.
