About the Game



In a certain tower, on a certain coast, the source of the world’s sun is born every day in an endless cycle. Every night, the source of the world’s sun dies. This source is “Gooey” a small fire slime that gains radiance as it gathers the flame coins on its journey up the Tower. Become “Gooey”, ascend the Tower, and become the sun, so the world’s daily cycle can continue!

Find and gather as many flame coins as you ascend the tower! The more coins you gather, the more radiant a sun you become! Watch your step as you ascend, though, otherwise you’ll be set back to try again.
