I know, I can't quite believe it either, but the above links are genuine. They go to the actual, complete free and full ($5) releases of Crystal Towers 2. Which means the unthinkable has happened - I have finished it. I've already had two orders and I hadn't even mentioned it anywhere yet.

Here, have a dizzying array of screenshots.



Thanks once again to absolutely everyone who contributed graphics or their time for testing this thing exhaustively - Adam, Hempuli, Chris, Hayo, Jared, J (Freude), crassadon, kjorteo, ravenworks, quadralien, rakarr, wolfekko and of course Whitney for encouraging me to get it finished (perhaps mostly so that she'll see me emerge from the basement office every once in a while now). Perhaps, at some point, I'll return to a normal life.

But not just yet, because I have to work on the Flash advertising version.
