Sector 5: Tower

Sector 5: Tower

A strange looking tower looming over a military research facility caught in the middle of an intergalactic war seemingly repurposed into a makeshit battle stadium by a bunch of particularly enthusiastic alien invaders. Or something.

♪ Face to Face

Sector 5: Tower is a versus mode stage in Slap City. It is set on top of a tower, and features a flat surface with 3 floating platforms. The stage initially starts with only the middle platform raised, with the side platforms rising and falling on timers. Blinking lights line the frame of their path to signal a platform change. The tower walls descend into the blastzones, and can be used to walljump off of to assist in recovering.

The background has ships from the two warring races fighting it out, or something.

Trivia

• The track "Face to Face" was remastered by the original composers known as HyperDuck Studios
• The slopes of Sector 5 have been changed multiple times during development. Initially a single slope used to descend from left to right. The stage was then changed to have a raised center, with two slopes. Finally, the slopes were removed entirely.
