Tower of Fun Guide: Getting started with Easy Mode
About

Getting started with Easy Mode
StepWhen you load in, a randomly generated tower is already waiting for you. Your only goal each round is to reach the top before the timer hits zero. Easy Mode gives you full immunity to all lava, which makes it the right place to start. Once you can reach the halfway point consistently, you're ready to try the full tower.
- Turn on Easy Mode so lava tiles won't knock you back.
- Spot the halfway point the tower has a distinct midpoint; aim for it first rather than the top.
- Attempt the top once the halfway point feels easy, push all the way up to complete your first tower.
- Collect your coins finishing a stage rewards you with coins you can take to the shop.
Surviving the climb
TipsEach tower is filled with platforms and obstacles, and in normal mode a single lava touch ends your run. The timer is always running. The Christmas update added double jump, which gives you an extra jump while airborne. Aim for the halfway point first — the Tower Half Way badge marks that milestone — then push on to the top for the Tower Complete badge.
- Glance at the timer regularly so you can judge when to speed up.
- In normal mode, treat every lava tile as a hard stop and route around it.
- In Easy Mode, ignore lava entirely.
Spending coins in the shop
TableEvery stage you clear drops coins, and the shop is where those coins go. There are two distinct things to buy. You don't need to spend real money to progress — clearing stages repeatedly builds up enough coins to keep buying. The Christmas Pack is available for purchase.
| Mutators | upgrades that change your character's abilities, earned by spending coins in the shop. |
| Effects | cosmetic items that change how your character looks, also bought with coins. |
| First purchase badge | buying either one for the first time unlocks First Mutator or First Effect. |
Checkpoints and round changes
CheckCheckpoints were fixed in the Christmas update and now work correctly in new servers. When someone wins a round, they no longer speed the timer up for everyone else — you get the full remaining time to keep climbing. If the game shuts down, it means a bug fix or update is being pushed; just wait and reconnect.
- Finish your climb even after someone else wins their victory no longer cuts your time short.
- Reconnect after a shutdown rather than worrying about it; shutdowns signal maintenance, not an error on your end.
Badges worth keeping in mind
SummaryNone of the badges require anything unusual — they reward actions you'd take anyway. Collecting all five means you've joined, reached the midpoint, finished a full tower, and bought something from both sides of the shop.
- Thanks For Playing joining the game for the first time.

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend real money to enjoy the game?
No. Every stage you clear gives you coins, and coins are all you need to buy mutators and effects from the shop. The Christmas Pack is available to purchase.
What happens if I touch lava?
In normal mode, touching lava ends your run. In Easy Mode you have full immunity to all lava, so it has no effect on you.
The game shut down while I was playing — is something wrong?
Nothing is wrong on your end. A shutdown means the developers are pushing a bug fix or update. Wait a moment, then reconnect.
Should I buy a mutator or an effect first?
Buying one of each earns you the First Mutator and First Effect badges, so you'll want both eventually.
