A beginner's guide to Gear Tower

Primary gameplay

When you first step into Gear Tower, you’ll find yourself at the base of a sprawling vertical labyrinth, with players and platforms spiraling upward into the clouds. The primary gameplay is deceptively simple: climb higher by navigating tricky jumps, avoiding hazards like a player with a slap glove or shifting platforms, and collect coins in the process.

Early stages of the tower are fairly forgiving, as they serve as a tutorial to help you master movement and timing. However, the higher you climb, the tougher the obstacle courses become, requiring precise jumps and fast reflexes.

One of the game’s unique twists is the presence of trolling gadgets called gear that you can equip, like flying carpets, admin commands, slap gloves, and even weapons, giving you creative ways to troll other players. But beware of other players plotting to do the same to you.

F2P (free-to-play) Gear Shop

One of the best parts of Gear Tower is that it’s quite generous for free-to-play players. The F2P Gear Shop lets you exchange the coins you collect during climbs for powerful gadgets and even head admin commands without spending a single Robux.

Items in the F2P shop range from practical gadgets like the flying carpet—which lets you skip past all the obbys— and the dual pistols that let you take out players in one shot and reset their progress, to in-game commands that let you control every single aspect of the game.

This ensures that even without spending real money, players can customize their experience and equip themselves for tougher tower runs. This shop gives free-to-play users fresh items to chase and new goals to keep the gameplay exciting.

In-game shop

In addition to the F2P shop, this game also has an in-game shop where overpowered items can be purchased in exchange for Robux. From it, fans can purchase new gear gadgets to enhance their climbing runs, like the time-stopping slap glove that also freezes players after slapping them, the giant slap glove that slaps multiple people at once, and even an OP flying carpet that leaves a magical trail behind and can fly, as the name suggests.

Some items are no longer part of the in-game shop but randomly appear on your screen and can be purchased then and there. These include a spell of invisibility, which makes you invisible for three minutes, and an explode all button that explodes all players on the server and resets their progress to the nearest checkpoint.
