Fundamentals of Build a Tower

Developed by Pink Heart Games, this Roblox experience makes every player an obby developer, but without complex algorithms. You can buy and place different items on the tower and design it to be more difficult to cross. Here's everything you must know before starting your first build.

Tower/Base

As you enter the game, you'll spawn at your tower or base, where you can place items, design the obby, and start earning money every second. With every upgrade level, your tower becomes longer, allowing you to make it more complex.

Game mechanics

To be successful in this game, you must keep its fundamental mechanics in mind and design your obby smartly. Your character moves slowly while holding objects, and the blocks' placement can be adjusted using the camera angle and other options. You can start placing objects after equipping your Hammer, and even rotate and move them up or down before placing.

Placing objects in your obby lets you earn some cash per second, which can be boosted by upgrading your tower.

Gear

The title features four types of gear in total, which you can buy via the in-game shop if they are in stock. The shop restocks every five minutes. Here are the items:

• Hammer (already owned)
• Teleporter: On each buy, you get teleported to the highest block in the obby; this can be done 10 times.
• Refiner: Lasts for 40 uses and allows you to move blocks after you place them.
• Paint Bucket: Grants 40 uses of paint.

Builder items

These are the items you can use to build your obby. Each of them earns you a different amount of money per second if placed at your base. You can buy them from the shop (if in stock) and also sell them. The shop restocks every five minutes. Here are all of the builder items available:

Your objective in this game is simple: Build a tough obby and invite others to clear it. Here are some tips and factors to keep in mind:

• Keep a stock of all the items available in the shop; since creativity has no limits in this title, you might find yourself needing a block that isn't in stock at the moment.
• Your obby earns even if you're offline.
• Use your gear wisely. They can be used only for a limited number of times and frequently come in very handy.
• Place as many blocks as you can to increase your earnings per second. Prioritize placing items with better stats.
• Keep trying to clear your obby and check its functionality.
• Placing blocks precisely would allow the players to enjoy the tower without glitches.
• You can control which friend can become the builder at your base.
