Tall Infinity is a puzzle game released on the Playstation in 2003. The story follows a mysterious figure known only as "The Architect" who creates a never-ending staircase of blocks, each with different weights and sizes. Players must navigate the blocks to reach the top of the staircase while avoiding falling blocks or being crushed by heavier ones.
The gameplay revolves around rearranging the blocks to create a stable path for the character to climb. The twist is that some blocks are "ghosts" and won't be affected by gravity, allowing players to use them to their advantage. As the player progresses, new block types are introduced, requiring strategic thinking and planning to overcome obstacles.

Game Rules
How to Build Up the Blocks
Variation of Blocks
Neutral Blocks
Neutral blocks are in gray, and are not able to be increased.
Colored Blocks
When connected with another block with same color on the matching sides, the block increases the size of the tower.
Arrow Blocks
You can only roll these blocks to the indicated direction(s).
1. Roll the Block
Move your character onto a block you want to roll, hold the X button and press the directional buttons left or right to roll it. If you want to move the character away from the block, release the X button.
2. Special Roll
You can make the block climb over another block by building up momentum and rolling it forcefully.
3. Making Connections
After matching colors on the sides, release the X button. New blocks will then appear. Block "a" (in the figures below) turns into a neutral block at this time.
Vertical Connection
When you make a vertical connection, 2 new blocks appear below the block you just rolled.
Horizontal Connection
When you make a horizontal connection, 4 new blocks appear below the 2 blocks you just connected.
Game Completion and Game Over
Level completion
You complete a level of a tower only if all 18 blocks are placed on the circumference of the same level. So even if you build up high on one side of the tower, its level may not be considered completed.
Stage Completion
A stage is completed when a set amount of levels are completed.
Game Over
If the borderline reaches the top of the tower the game is over. The game is also over if you come to a situation where you cannot connect any more blocks.
What is the "borderline"?
The borderline moves up gradually after a set amount of time. As the borderline moves up, the tower is shaken with alarming sound effects. The speed of borderline movement depends on your score and number of steps you take.

Tips & Maps
Chain Technique
When blocks are connected, angel's wings appear on your character; making an additional connection before they disappear creates a chain.
Advantage of creating Chains
The borderline moves down by 1 level for every 2 chains completed.
Chain Bonus Blocks
Depending on the number of chains made before the wings disappear, a number of bonus blocks shall appear.
Scores for Increasing Blocks
You gain basic score points by increasing the number of blocks, and the number of chains made also affects the points you receive.
Formula for Basic Scoring
The number of increased blocks (x10) (x Number of chains made) = Basic score points.
Time Bonus
You gain more time bonus points by completing a stage in shorter time.
Step Bonus
You gain more step bonus points by using fewer steps to roll the block in a stage, but there will be no additional step bonus points if you use more than 300 steps.
Match colors at multiple sides
Match colors at multiple sides simultaneously to increase more blocks and gain more points.
Take advantage of falling blocks
While the character is on a falling block, the angel's wings will not disappear, allowing you to create a larger chain.
Save Steps
Once familiar with the game, try to use as few steps as possible to gain valuable step bonus points.
