Your building kit
Timber: light and quick. 64 × 28.
Tap above the platform to stack blocks. The timer starts only when you press Start. Then a 7-second earthquake shakes your creation. Build high, but keep the resident on the platform to score.
The resident lives on your highest block.
About Ten-Second Architect
Ten-Second Architect gives you a short deadline and a small building kit. Stack timber, stone, or wide beams on the platform before the timer ends. Then a seven-second earthquake tests the tower and its resident using lightweight two-dimensional game physics.
How to play
- Press Start to begin the ten-second building timer.
- Choose a material and tap the canvas to place a block above the platform.
- Alternatively, choose a drop position with the slider and press Place block here.
- Let the timer finish, or select Test early, then watch the earthquake.
Scoring and challenges
Your resident must remain on the platform to earn points. A surviving tower scores for its remaining height and standing blocks. Replay the quake to see what went wrong before rebuilding.
Questions about the game
When does the building timer start?
It starts only after you press Start. You can read the instructions and choose a material beforehand.
Is this an engineering simulator?
No. The tower uses simplified game physics designed for a short building challenge.
