Once Upon a Tower is a new game for the iOS and Android platforms. This is a twist on the old “princess stuck in a tower” trope, where the princess arms herself with weapons and escapes the tower herself. You can unlock various different princesses, companions for the princess, and other kinds of bonuses as you go for the highest score possible. Read on for some tips and tricks for Once Upon a Tower!
Your main method of movement is to dig through dirt and broken surfaces, but there’s going to be plenty of enemies along the way. Swipe in a direction while you’re in the air, or in the direction of an enemy, and you’ll swing your weapon and kill them. Make sure to swing and kill any enemy that could put you in jeopardy, or they could kill you first.
Want to get a chicken companion, a power-up, or something else? First, make sure that you have an internet connection. Go to the Fortune menu. Instantly, a video ad will play. Once the ad is done, a lucky spin wheel will pop up. Spin it, and then when it stops, you will end up earning whatever you land on.
You can complete sets of three challenges at a time in order to earn score multipliers, which will allow you to get a higher and higher score as you play the level. Some of them will be fairly obvious as to how to pass them; others, not so much. For example, swing your weapon as the fireball is right next to you in order to hit a fireball back at the enemy.
If you stay on one level for too long, the dragon will come to the side of the tower, shoot fire right through it, and kill you instantly, no matter if you swing your weapon at it or not. To prevent this happening, keep moving at a fairly regular pace. Especially move whenever you see the dragon coming towards you; drop down a few notches and it won’t hit you with its fire.
Between levels, you’ll get to a store area with three different options. Two of the options will be power-ups that you can purchase with coins, which should be saved for whenever you are on a record run. The middle option will be to watch a video in order to get a spin at the lucky wheel.
