Babel
Babel is a tower-building activity...
Description and background
Babel is a simple physics game based on building as tall a tower as possible in 60 seconds, and then bashing that tower apart as quickly as possible. It is based on the engine of the "phsics" activity.
The player is given a small selection of bricks for stacking.
Using the wrecking ball is optional, but fun.
The score is based on how high the tower was divided by how long it took to destroy.
Once the game is done, press Restart to try again.
The game was a result of the 2008 OLPC Physics Game Jam. Originally envisioned as a 2 player game, with slingshots to fling rocks at the other player's tower, the end result was simplified because of time, experience, and technical constraints.
