'''The Tower''' is the first [[Tower]] platformer level of [[Geometry Dash]] and [[Geometry Dash Lite]].

==Description==
The Tower serves as a basic introduction to platformer gameplay. It introduces the cube form to chasms and jump rings, falling, timed and rotating platforms, as well as vertically and horizontally moving hazards. Additionally, a menacing robotic security system, that looks like GLaDOS from Portal, presents itself as a seeming antagonist towards the end of the level. Two checkpoints are present in the level.

==Secret coins==
*The first secret coin is rewarded for collecting 22 small coins.
*The second secret coin is rewarded for collecting 3 blue coins:
**The first blue coin is at the top of the vertical section following the fireball tunnel. Use the yellow orb to jump into the glowing segment of the wall on the left.
**The second blue coin is found on the third set of rotating platforms. Simply wait for the platform to approach it and jump up.
**The third blue coin is in a hidden wall between two wooden platforms just past the rotating platforms. Move between the platforms to access the hidden area. 
*The third secret coin is rewarded for completing the level in 70 seconds or less.

==Trivia==
*While The Tower's difficulty cannot be directly viewed, it does count as a Normal difficulty level when viewing a player's number of Platformer levels beaten by difficulty.
*The Tower requires a minimum of 22 jumps to complete.
*At the start of The Tower, there is a spikeball inside a cage, possibly hinting towards The Secret Hollow's boss, The Cursed Thorn.
