About

Tower Clear

Features
Read full description

Turn the tower and drop pieces around it. Fill a ring all the way around to clear it. Every win helps build your cozy town. Each level gives you a set number of moves. There is no timer in any level, so you can plan every drop. The tower can keep growing. You only lose when you run out of moves. HOW TO PLAY - Turn the tower to choose where your piece lands. - See the next piece before you drop it. - Fill a whole ring to clear it. Clear two or more rings with one drop for a Combo. - Each level has one or two goals: clear bricks, break Stone Bricks, or bring Golden Bricks down to the base. - Levels get harder as you go. Some take a few tries. BRICKS AND TOOLS - Stone Bricks crack on the first clear and break on the second. - Golden Bricks never break. Bring them down to the base of the tower to collect them. - Clear rings to fill the charge bar, then pick a Special Brick: TNT, Drill or Press. - TNT clears the ring it lands on. The Drill digs down its column. The Press pushes its column down to the base. - Stuck? Use perks like Rotate, Undo and Discard. A TOWN THAT GROWS - Your wins build your town. New buildings, decorations and characters appear as you play. - Travel through themed worlds: Medieval Realms, Silk Empire, Winter Reign and Mystic India. - Find Collectible Cards as your town grows. PICTURES TO COLLECT - Later in the game, your wins also earn Puzzle Pieces. - Spend them to reveal a picture, one tile at a time. - Finish a picture and it turns to full color. It stays in your collection. WEEKLY MISSIONS - Weekly Missions give you extra goals and rewards. Start on level 1 and learn as you play. Every new brick and tool comes with a short tutorial.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PathLocus at none against Tower Clear's shown. PathLocus also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Tower Clear's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
