The Towerverse is a 2.2 platformer level created by 16lord. It was the first mythic rated level in Geometry Dash, being released three months into 2.2. It has suffered controversy regarding the rating, as some beleive the decoration is too poor for the highest rating Geometry Dash can offer.

The level was made as a part of 16lord's "Tower" series, being the first platformer and first 2.2 level in the series. The entire series is in a rated list on 16lord's profile. The level is fully localized in both English and Spanish.

Description

The level begins with an opening scene featuring a talking toadstool and text reading "Blue Moon". After the player converses with the toadstool, the player can now freely wander the Blue Moon. This section has mini coins scattered across it and mystery blocks that, once hit from below, give the player more mini coins. This part has a section named the "Invisible Tower," being introduced by a dark character and a portal. The section is affected by an area fade trigger, meaning objects are only visible when the player is in close proximity. The toadstools claim this tower does not exist. After venturing further, there is another portal that shatters into three peices and the peices are required to be collected to progress. The shape of the peices might be referencing Michigun. When the peices are collected and the portal restored, the player accesses another, longer Invisible Tower.

After this, a new mechanic is intoduced, being monsters that pop up when within range. The player must jump quickly to avoid the monsters. This mechanic is combined with platforming challenges. A character named Torres is brought up in conversation.

After this, the player exits the Blue Moon and enters the Desent Mountains, with the color palette changing to reflect this. There are more platforming challenges and obstacles to avoid. After getting through some platforming, the player meets Torres, an inventor and handyman who fixes Orbs and Portals. He says that he was a former Geometry Dash player and creator, and he has left a gadget for the player in the mountains. It is an orb that switches gravity. It functions identical to a blue orb. The player is then met with more difficult platforming challenges using this blue orb.

The next part is in a cave in the Desert Mountains. the player must traverse down the cave to retreive a key that Torres dropped and a monster took. The cave has a plethora of traps, including but not limited to moving saws and toggling spikes. When the player reaches the bottom, presses a button near a crypic message that references a "Dark Being," and collects the key, explosives fall on the ground and the player is given one minute to get back up the cave before the bombs detonate. After escaping, Torres lets the player open his gadget chest with the key to uncover a Propellor. The propellor is required for the next section.

This section is called the Mountain Tower. The propellor lowers the gravity when the jump button is held and helps to navigate the high cliffs and gaps of the tower. The player must learn to use this item in all of the ways necessary. The tower itself is comprised of spiky black masses and angry saws that crash the player upon touch. there are very few checkpoints in this part.

After the propellor section, the propellor is lost and the player talks to Torres. He mentions "The lord of darkness." Torres is revealed to the player (using 3rd person omniscient) to be a suspicious character. The player exits the Desert Mountains and enters The Dark Side of the Moon.

The Dark Side of the Moon is a dim place in the cosmos that has platforms that lead upward. There are multiple portals that transport both platforms and the player. At the top, the lord of darkness speaks to you. He says that he has been plotting your demise for a long time, listing off his previous plans. He reveals he was actually Torres and his current plan, which is to trap the player in a time loop. He starts the time loop.

The player is shown where they began, at the Blue Moon, with no memory of previously being there. Credits roll and level ends.
