 +===== Reception =====

 +Some people liked the game. Others didn'​t. 
 + 
 +Matt from [[Hypothetical Game Review]] noted that the game is "not complete shit, but still shit." Ralf was quoted as saying that "Q Tower is almost enjoyable. To the point that I can see it becoming a cult classic that everyone talks about, but nobody is really playing. Its author should definitely rethink his life choices."​

 +==== The "​Infinite tower" controversy ==== 
 + 
 +[{{ :​wiki:​qtower_ending.png?​nolink&​200|The bottom of the "​infinite tower"​.}}] 
 + 
 +Although the game claims that one can choose an infinite tower height, this has been shown to be somewhat false. In reality, the platforms will eventually end and jumping off the last one will send the player falling down forever. 
 + 
 +[[Slow Club]] argues that there is no contradiction,​ since, in fact, the game claims infinite tower height, not infinite amount of platforms. Ralf, however, argues that the promise of "​infinite tower" implies actual infinite gameplay - and once the platforms are over, there is no more gameplay. Unless you consider falling down an endless pit a game. To which an official representative of Slow Club said "We do." An unofficial representative also said something, but nobody wrote it down.
