Toppler for MorphOS
===================

Tower Toppler, also known as Nebulous, is the free remake of the Hewson /
Rainbow Arts classic (1987). Guide a little green creature up a tower that
rotates as you walk around it: take the lifts, use the doors to reach the
other side, avoid the bouncing balls and flying creatures, and reach the top
before the time runs out. Then dive in your submarine to the next tower.

Eight missions, a built-in level editor and a highscore table.
