How to play

Tap it to twist the tower further and send light up its glass.

Notes

Some are built to twist as they rise: each floor sits turned a little from the one below. The twist is not just for looks: wind flowing past a tall building makes it sway, and a twisted shape breaks the wind up, so the tower sways less.

Tap it and the floors wring around further, in twelve solid bands with the top turning most, while a ring of light runs up the glass; then they unwind with a little sway as a second ring runs up. Pick the color of the glass in the Splash tab.
