ROCKET TOWER 3D
Race your two rockets up the spiral tower! Roll the dice, pick which rocket flies, bounce up springs, dodge chutes and bump the other player down a floor. With 3D glasses the tower stands out of the screen.

Do you have 3D glasses? Red-green, red-blue and red-cyan glasses all work.

How deep?
Less depth is easier on the eyes. More depth pops out more.
1. Hide the green bar
Put the glasses on and cover the eye behind the green lens, so you look only through the red lens. Slide left until the green bar disappears.
2. Hide the red bar
Now cover the eye behind the red lens, so you look only through the green lens. Slide left until the red bar disappears.
3D mode is just a fun way to play. If your eyes feel tired, take a break or play without glasses.
HOW TO PLAY
Each player has two rockets on the launch pad at the bottom of the tower. The first to fly both rockets to the top wins.
On your turn tap π² to roll, then tap which rocket to move. Rockets climb the spiral one square per dot.
β² Spring: stop on it and you bounce straight up to the floor above (10 squares). βΌ Chute: you slide down to the floor below.
β Star: stop on it and you roll again.
Bump! Stop on a square where the other player has a rocket and it drops down a floor. Rockets on the same side never bump.
A roll that goes past the top still lands your rocket home. Beat a robot to open the next tower. Win by a lot for βββ. Drag the tower to look around.
HOW 3D WORKS
Try this: hold up a finger and look at it with one eye, then the other. It jumps! Your brain uses the jump between your eyes to see depth: stereo vision.
The game draws the tower twice, from two eyes a little apart, in red and in green (or blue). The glasses give each eye its own picture, so the near side of the spiral comes out of the screen and the far side sinks in.
Dice fact: each number on a fair dice comes up about 1 time in 6. Over many rolls an average roll is 3.5, so a rocket takes about 3 rolls to climb a floor of 10 squares. Two rockets give you a choice every turn, and good choices win races!
