Nick Tower
A downloadable game for Windows
In this 3D puzzle game, two players solve puzzles together. Each of you has half of the information you'll need and you can't see each other's screens, so you must describe what you see and do to help each other solve the puzzles. Good communication is the key to success as you work together to achieve your impossible dream of scaling Nick Tower!

Hi, you do not have to be in the same place. When one player starts the game, it will create a server that a second player will find automatically when they start. However, there's no chat in the game, so you'll have to use something external to communicate if you aren't together.
Great game. Had lots of fun trying to figure out some of the puzzles! My only problem with the game didn't occur until the end. After spending a large amount of time getting near the end of the game, the "final" door only opened for player 2 and not for player 1, making the game impossible for us to complete. Also, player 2's door opened even though we only had 4 out of 5 objectives complete. We couldn't finish the game nor did we see any other hints or interactions that we might have missed. Would love to get feedback or see this fixed if it is a potential bug so we can see the ending.
Thanks so much for checking it out!
I'm sorry for the bug. I hadn't seen an issue come up with a player's door opening early, either in testing or in playthroughs I've seen. I couldn't replicate it but I believe there was a rare situation where one of the puzzles could be double-counted due to network delay. I've now updated the game so that there is no way that any puzzles could be double-counted, so I believe that the bug is resolved.
You are correct that there are 5 objectives that must be completed for the door to open. The beginnings of some puzzles are less visible than others--if you are stuck, I would recommend that you focus on objects that one player hasn't had to use in a puzzle yet (Or hasn't had to communicate to their partner), which might help you consider new ways to interact within certain rooms.
Thanks again for playing!
A fun game to play with a close friend. A good test of communication skills :)
