Tower
- This article is about the collection of platformer levels. For the first level in this collection, see The Tower.
The Tower is a feature of Geometry Dash and Geometry Dash Lite, introduced in Update 2.2. It is accessed through a stone portal on the second-to-last screen of the level menu slider that then reveals the Tower on a small floating island.
Description
[edit | edit source]The Tower features official platformer levels, where the player's icon is no longer subject to automatic horizontal movement and is able to be controlled using an expanded control scheme. Levels must be navigated through, avoiding hazards and completing puzzles, progressing through checkpoints which respawn the icon if it is damaged, until reaching the end. Near the end, there are three floating blocks which each contain a secret coin, which are dispensed for collection by knocking their underside. Each floating block is assigned an objective which must be completed for their respective secret coins to be dispensed.
- Collect all regular coins
- Collect all 3 blue coins
- Activate within the time limit
Selecting the door of the Tower enters its menu where its levels can be accessed through more doors. These must be completed in sequence starting from the door at the lowest level. Locked levels appear greyed-out, completed levels have their door opened, and incomplete unlocked levels are slightly open with the inside appearing light blue. Additionally, at the lower right corner of the menu is a button that leads to the Secret Room.

- We can take a quick look if you want, but we can't stay long.

After this, the Tower appears and Scratch continues:
- Who left the lights on?
- I got a bad feeling about this...
After completing all levels on the first floor of the Tower, Scratch continues:
- Where have you been?! I've been looking everywhere for you!
- You really shouldn't be poking around here.
- Never know what you could find. Or who...
- ... I thought this was a simple cube game.
