[TAS] Flash Tower of Heaven by ikuyo in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-07-22
Tower of Heaven is a platforming game that was first released as a Windows game made with GameMaker and was later ported over to the Flash platform. The art style for this game is meant to evoke the looks of old Game Boy games. Here, you play as a humanoid trying to climb a really tall tower in defiance of the wishes of the tower's deity owner. To prevent you from climbing any further, the deity puts up rules that must be followed if you are to continue. If they are broken, you are struck by lightning and must start over from the beginning of the floor you were on.
For this run, ikuyo ( tasvideos.org/... ) gets to the top of the tower and beyond as fast as possible, at one point exploiting a glitch at the 11th floor that where you won't get damaged by a hazardous floor for a frame to skip an autoscroller.

This game inadvertently influenced the course of my life and the major I pursued in post-secondary. For real. Thank you, Tower of Heaven!

[@pixelartkid7965]

How did it influence them? Honest question.

[@mariopartylover10]

@@pixelartkid7965 I was really into The World Ends with You as a kid, which Flashygoodness did some piano covers of. I then became a fan of theirs, checked out their other works... One of them was the soundtrack for someone's 2D animated film, "A Cake for Cherry." I loved that film! And from there I learned you could go to school for animation, and that film was actually made at a local art school. As I grew up, I studied animation more in high school, all to apply to that art school. I got in, did my years, made my own senior film, and tomorrow I'm gonna attend a film festival that my film's in. And Tower of Heaven is still fond to me now. Funny how the world works, huh?

Very nice music

[@Atylonisus]

This game has had its music used, stolen, and remixed in so many different equally underground media

Flashygoodness ain't just a name. It's a guarantee

[@Koettnylle]

@@Atylonisus No wonder when it sounds so awesome

[@gamgamu]

This TAS is a masterpiece, especially the fact that it's Tower of Heaven because the game set an influence to me in the past

[@y2kafka472]

Tower of Heaaaaaaaaaaaven! Wonder when "Pause Ahead" TAS is coming. That one should be good as well.

[@ramvalente]

I want to see the other two secrets

[@electrollama2127]

SpeedrunDotCom has a 100% category with the other two secrets (WR doesn't include the skull block skip, so WR is sort of up for grabs).

[@nat_cat2923]

I want to see where is 2012 TAS 😭😭😭

Wondering how did you skip the Thou Shalt Not Walk Left rule

[@Atylonisus]

He didn't 'Walk' left though, did he?
