## What is Glass Tower World?

Smash the tower of glass!
The game with physical collisions and gravity simulation.
You'll be addicted after your first tap!

- 300+ awesome levels
- large world map to explore
- no violence and simple rules, so even kids may play this game
- relaxing ambient music
- bright graphics
- very cool sounds of shattering glass
- amazing boosters

One of the best and simplest puzzles ever!
Gameplay is extremely easy and simple.
The tower is constructed of blocks that are different in size, shape, and color.
Your aim is to break all the blue blocks and to save as many red blocks as possible.
Sometimes you need to think about which block to break, but sometimes you need to act fast.
Blue blocks increase your score. Its amount depends on the size of the block. Red blocks decrease your score in the same way.
Also every broken red block subtracts one "life".

Due to the physical-based engine, every level can be completed in different ways.

Some blocks contain coins. When you break such a block, the coin takes off and rises near the screen's edge.
You should be quick to "catch" it by tapping it!
You may use coins to buy boosters and lives.

### 1/5 — New version no good!

*2023-09-16*

I had paid for the glass tower 2 app years ago. I tried to reinstall it but it is gone, obsolete; replaced by Glass Tower World. I tried it but apparently any earlier purchases are not valid anymore, meaning lots of ads you cannot avoid; or even skip! Plus the game is simply not as good as the previous versions. I was ripped off.

### 1/5 — Please remove the lives system

*2023-05-07*

This game is a calming and fun game except for the fact the levels are so hard. I would be ok with this because I like puzzle games, but this one gives you a certain amount of lives and if you use them up you have to wait an hour for more. This makes the game unenjoyable.

### 3/5 — Was good at first until the Ads ruined it. Would have had 5 stars.

*2023-01-22, version 3.4*

Enjoy this game at first then ads started every 2-3 levels. So annoying.

### 1/5 — The ads on this app are HORRIBLE

*2022-08-22, version 3.4*

I deleted it after two days because it was unusable / unplayable. The length of the ads are ridiculous and the exit buttons are nearly illegible… I used to LOVE this game and played it all the time and recently re-downloaded it — but never again.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-07-10, version 3.4*

This is such a cool logic game. It gives so much fun for free.
Download this game - U will not regret it. Level 14 was so hard!
I had 2 make the red blocks fall to the left instead of straight down.
I will never delete this. BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

### 3/5 — Last update was 3 years ago???

*2022-05-19, version 3.4*

Why is it so outdated. Doesn’t even fill my whole phone screen.

### 5/5 — Need more Lives!

*2022-04-04, version 3.4*

Love the game, play it often, but it takes too long to receive the lives.

### 2/5 — Too many ads killed it

*2022-03-17, version 3.4*

This was such a good game but now having to sit through 45 seconds worth of ads every few attempts is too much. Can’t trust any game now.

### 3/5 — More levels

*2021-07-07, version 3.4*

I guess the developers have lost interest in this game.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-05-28, version 3.4*

It’s a shame that the author of this game chose to insert so many ads into this game. It averages 1 ad every 3 or so levels of play. And they are ads for stupid games, no one in their right mind would ever download. Also, can’t be sure, but I think I caught the app reading my clipboard, avoid this app!
