About Babel: Tower to the Gods
What Is Babel: tower to the Gods?
It's a charming physics based puzzle game designed around room-scale VR for the HTC Vive, which will test your coordination and wits, as you battle physics while working out how to de-construct part of a tower (to the gods).
You'll have to approach the towers from every angle walk, crouch, and even possibly jump, using a range of divine tools & weaponry to carefully disassemble & thoroughly check the stability of each unique and bizarre monument built before you, all while protecting the sacred totem, to ensure it's safety for it's worshippers!
There's a variety of different types of puzzles in it, requiring a range of different skills - precision, logic, speed & more!
Examples:
- Precision - Using careful movements of your Vive controllers, slide a sword between blocks and push out blocks whilst narrowly avoiding the volatile and explosive bomb blocks, which will detonate with the slightest of your touch!
- Logic - Work out the correct order & method of deconstruction! Knock out blocks simultaneously to keep the tower balance! Or, is there a large amount of blocks ontop of a slippery ice block? Give it a fast & hard whack from the side to sent it quickly sliding out of the tower without the blocks ontop falling off!
- Speed - Some towers may contain blocks that are being burnt away! Once these blocks finish burning, they'll be reduced to ash & disappear! Solve the tower fast enough that these burning blocks don't cause it to topple!
We'll be adding more block types, features & even new game-modes in the future! So an eye on those change logs to see what's new!

This a great example of a room scale game (requires at least 1.5x1.5 I'd say) that is simple yet fun, due to the audio narrative and the excellent haptic feedback you get while working on your Yenga style monuments. Highly recommended, since everything is stationary and one moves around the 1x1m tower in the middle the risk of getting motion sickness is really small. Runs well on a GTX 970 with an i5-2500k.5 found this helpful
So much potential, but it seems the devs have exhausted their ideas. It was a great example of good haptics and immersion (and making you break that immersion to solve the harder puzzles) at vive launch, but it has gone nowhere in a year. abandonware3 found this helpful
reminds me of a board game from when I was a kid that I played with my family that I can't quite remember the title of, mixed with Jenga. A fun game to just chill and listen to some podcasts to, while casually solving the puzzles. the dialogue is occasionally funny, although a bit tedious over time. It seems like it's been abandoned in early access, but to be honest it's strong enough as is. some of the planned features seem like they would've been nice, but not too concerned without them. All in all, a strong and relatively cheap addition to your VR library if you like puzzle games in general. The greek aesthetic is also one rarely explored in games, and the idea of being a godly city inspector is a fun spin.2 found this helpful
It is a fun enough concept and maybe with friends it can be better. I just can't reccomend as I have played maybe three times and will never play again.1 found this helpful
Interesting concept. Mixing VR puzzles with Jenga mechanics, but all-in-all it gets old super fast.
Jenga with humor.
