How coins and gears work
Summary
Every time you climb a tower, coins accumulate without you having to do anything extra. Those coins unlock gears, which are tools — including hammers and other troll items — you can use on other players. Every gear in the game can be unlocked this way, so there is no pressure to spend real money at any point.
- Coins earned automatically by climbing towers
- Gears unlocked with coins, no real money required
- Hammers one example of the troll tools you can unlock
- Unlock order gears become available progressively, weaker ones first
Tips for climbing faster
TipsTowers vary in difficulty, and some will stop you cold while others are quick runs.
- Repeat easy towers when you want a steady stream of coins without the frustration
- Switch to a different tower the moment one starts feeling impossible rather than retrying endlessly
- Play with friends — more people in the session makes the chaos more fun and keeps you motivated to keep climbing
- If another player is trolling you off a tricky section, try again at a quieter moment or farm coins on an easier tower in the meantime
Using gears to troll other players
Check
The whole point of unlocking gears is to use them on other players — slapping them, knocking them off sections, or just getting a funny reaction. The game is built around this back-and-forth, so getting hit by someone else's gear is part of the experience, not a problem to solve.
- Test a new gear right after unlocking it to learn its effect
- Try it on friends first their reactions are the best feedback
- Accept that you will get hit too laughing it off is how the game is meant to be played
Playing without spending money

Common questions
FAQDo I have to spend real money to unlock all the gears?
No. Every gear in the game unlocks using coins you earn by climbing towers. There is no point where real money becomes necessary. It takes time, but everything is reachable through normal play.
What should I do when I cannot get past a tower section?
Drop back to an easier tower and farm coins there for a while. There is no skip option, so switching towers is the practical solution.
Which gear should I use first?
Start with whatever you unlock first and work through them in order. The earlier gears are weaker, which makes them a good way to learn how trolling actually plays out before you have the stronger tools.
