Description

Who, as a child, didn't enjoy smashing his brother or sister's carefully built tower? Tower of Babel is a multiplayer physic-based tower building game. In the game, you and your friends build a tower together. But beware ! Who makes the tower collapse loses the game. To spice things up, you can cast magic spells to scupper your opponents moves. A bit of a digital Jenga.. but with explosions and magic tricks! Easy to pick up and endless fun! Challenge or play with your friends in local multiplayer up to 4 players with the Friendly, Selfish and Battle mode, or play online against other console anywhere in the world. With alliance games and magic spells combining, it won't be an easy ride. Tower of Babel is a game that cement friendships and break towers... or the other way around :)

History

Tower of Babel is the first game of a series of games with the peculiar character called The Babs. After a successful launch on the AirConsole web platform in 2016, DNA Studios developped 3 other games based on the same characters (The Neighbourhood, Rat Race and The Babs). Since its launch in 2016 Tower of Babel has always been the players favorite. To this day, the game stayed in the top 8 games on AirConsole and has been enjoyed by more than 800'000 players. With the Nintendo Switch showing up as a major player for local multiplayer games, DNA Studios applied for a grant to port their game to the japanese console. In summer 2019 DNA Studios received the funding from Pro Helvetia and decided Tower of Babel will be ported to the Nintendo Switch.
