Help remembering old game...

I'm trying to remember the name of an old game, I believe I played this on SNES but can't tell for sure. Anyways, you were this little creature that needed to go up a tower through some stairs. The screen would show the character in the same place and the castle seemed to rotate. Any of this sounds familiar? Any help would be appreciated

What you describe reminds me of Tower Toppler, a game I'm familiar with from the Atari 7800:

Is that it? Don't know if it was on other platforms.

I remember this game fondly from my Sinclair Spectrum and Amiga days. Its called Nebulus. You play like a weird frog type creature and the tower rotates whilst your character stays in the same position. It was produced by Hewson software who also created classics like Cybernoid 1 and 2, Exolon, Rana Rama and Uridium. Check out the page about it below:

It appears that the Atari version was released the following year in the US. They probably got the license from Hewson for North American distribution.
