Climb the Treasure Tower before the clock strikes midnight!

Spurred on by an offhand comment on Fusion Roundtable, I spent this week hammering at one of my old games to convert it to a Flash project.

Treasure Tower - Flash edition

Not a whole lot of the game had to be changed to allow it to be converted - most notably all the music and sound actions had to be replaced and I had to modify the way it saved so that it was allowable in Flash - I'll post a fuller article on what I had to do to convert it later on. Otherwise, most of the work just went into polishing up the presentation a bit. It's also now connected up to MochiMedia and its high score boards, so you can still compete with other players for the best times and other records - I've even gone as far as trying out sharing it on Facebook.

I must say that I quickly found myself on the receiving end of karmic retribution for scoring the game entirely with Scott Joplin ragtimes, because all I can hear in my head now is endless manic piano music - for the benefit of everyone else, as special consideration in this version, I've put in the option to make it stop.
