A Race Against <span class="bb_strike">the Clock</span> Hourglass...
In order to help King Shorty, Archmage Tip has unleashed his magical prowess, and he's been able to cast a powerful spell that was capable of fragmenting time in turns.
In each level of the Tower you must reach the stairs before the turns run out, otherwise there will be a gnome with a crown on his head no more!
