Gameplay
The protagonist in this game is a white blob with green eyes and stumps for arms and legs. Using the WASD or arrow keys, you control this blob on his journey upwards the tower. The Tower of Greed consist of an endless tower filled with ladders, spikes, crumbling platforms, various enemies and other obstacles. It scrolls downward at a constant rate, always forcing new obstacles upon you. The only way to die in the game is if the bottom of the screen overtakes you.

Your mission is to collect as much treasure as possible, and then escape alive through one of the exit doors which appear periodically. If you don't escape through one of the exit doors, then you lose everything you gathered. You don't only lose your high score, but any achievements or trophies you have gained during this gameplay is lost when you die. There are 64 different trophies you can gain in Tower of Greed, assuming you can escape with them intact.

There are two main modes available. Arcade mode is the brutal one, where with every door, you have to decide whether you want to quit the game and take your winnings, or continue on and possibly lose everything. Survival Mode gives you more breathing room, by letting you bank your money and trophies when you reach a door and still keep playing. The level design is quite simple and consist of a number of sections. Each time you reach the end of a section, a random section is added on top of it. There are usually two or three different paths available at any given time and you are almost always within arm's reach of safety. The dead ends and risky jumps are all gem-laden optional areas, designed to give higher pay-off for a considerably higher risk.

There is also a downloadable version of the game for those who are having lag issues or other computer problems. However, if you wish to gain Kongregate badges, you have to play the game from the Kongregate site.
