Speedrun Tower is a puzzle game for the Sega Genesis, designed specifically for speedrunning. Your goal is to find a way out of an office building with a highly complex elevator system.
At the start of each playthrough, the connections between floors are randomly generated, making every new game unique. For example, an elevator on the first floor might lead to the fifth or ninth floor, and from there, you might be able to return to a previous floor. Despite the randomness, the game always ensures there is a route that allows you to visit all floors.
The main objective is to reach the top floor as quickly as possible. However, the game also includes additional challenges, such as visiting every floor or experiencing all in-game events, which can influence the ending. Depending on your actions, you can unlock one of four possible endings.
The game also serves as a technical showcase of various approaches to generating pseudo-randomness on the Sega Genesis platform.
