## What is Idle Tower Builder?

You are in charge of building the world's highest tower. Gather or produce the necessary resources and fulfill your aim!

- In the web browsers the game was played by ten million people!
- No extensive clicking is needed: the game has auto-clicker.
- The game works offline, there is no need in internet connection.
- No intrusive ads: ads will be shown only if you want it (in the exchange of bonus)
- The game can be played both in landscape and in portrait mode

You build the tower by mining resources in the quarry and processing it to create bricks. Every next floor of the tower needs much more bricks, so, upgrade your production facilities wisely. 

To deliver the bricks to the higher floors of the tower, you'll need a crane. You can build the crane from planks, which you can create from wood at the lumbermill.

Forest is the depletable source of wood: while building the tower don't forget about ecology! Supply the forest with water (either from the water well or by creating a thundercloud and casting a rain) to regain wood faster.

Workers with wheelbarrows will bring resources from one location to another. They can be sped up by a drummer, who generates the rhythm. Later the Elephant will help you bring the stone to the saw.

The elephant (unlike the workers) needs food to work. Food is produced on the grass field and stacked into the haystack.

To gain money for the upgrades you'll need to sell some of the resources. Additional source of money is the tourists. They fly on the zeppelin and attend you tower (but only after you reached floor 5)

The caravanserai increases the price of the resources on the market, and the camel automatically takes stone, bricks, wood, planks, hay or water from your storages.

As the tower is growing, the more and more advanced technologies become available. For example, you can build the Clock, which speeds up the time. Or a helicopter, which dramatically increased stone production.

As soon as you reach the space, science facilities are unlocked. Science is generated by dropping apples from the tower and looking how they fall, or by spectating the stars and comets from the telescope. You can spend science points to equip the lab in the tower basement and purchase permanent upgrades, which boost your production more and more.

By restarting the tower building you earn Golden Bricks - prestige currency. It boost your tap power, facilities production and market prices. After several restarts you'll have enough resources to build the highest tower of all times!

The game was made by Airapport: award winning indie game development team.

My brother told me about this and we both play,it gets really challenging after level 35

### 5/5 — Fun incremental clicker game

*2026-06-30, version 1.9.4*

Idle tower is a fun progression game. Causes you to think about if you want to reset or push for higher rewards. Trying to keep the production levels at the right amount is fun as well. Over all a great game. Sometimes it feels slow then yo find something new to work on.

### 5/5 — Great Idle Game

This game is awesome! I play it every day, I found it on cool math games and now I downloaded it on my phone. Is worth it and I love all the effort put into it! I hope you make more games with even more support, from people all over the world! Keep being you and making bangers!!❤️

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2026-06-14*

This is a great game to play everyday for maybe 10-15 minutes.  It does start out a little slow but after you build up your tower and get the benefits from doing a restart it really starts to get fun.  Just like any free to play game Yes there are Ads but you get to pick if you want to watch them or not. And the great thing about the Ads is that they have a great bonus for watching them so it is actually worth watching.  Fun game. Easy to learn.  No forced Ads. If you want to watch an AD it is worthwhile for your benefit.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME

*2026-06-10*

Great game guys I love all the little upgrades you get when you progress in the game it makes the game so fun and I would recommend anyone this game one of the best qualities is that it doesn’t have a timer (that I know of yet) and if there is maybe it’s a week but to my knowledge there is none which is dope, anyways I’ve been playing this game for awhile and I love it but the camel that comes out doesn’t multiply the resources when you sell it from there it will still sell them at market price at least for the stone and water. If you read this please fix and keep up the great work this game is awesome and I play it alllll the time I love how cool it is how you can go off the app and come back and watch all the workers move at 100x speed
