Breaktower

Help with Breaktower

A mini strategy game above the clouds. Gather sunstone, build towers and a small base, train a few units, and push back the waves until the dark spire falls.

Playing

How do I play?

Skiffs (small balloons) gather sunstone, the currency, on their own, and you can train more at the keep. Tap a glowing pad to build a tower: a Bolt tower, a Mortar or a Gale mill. Tap an empty plot by the keep to build a Lodge, a Hangar or a Sun catcher. Train Wardens and Rangers at the Lodge, and Darts and Barges at the Hangar, from the bar at the bottom.

Your army waits at your flag; tap the path to move it. Attack sends everyone at the spire, and Hold pulls them back. Destroy the dark spire to win. Lose your keep and the mission is over.

How do stars work?

One star for winning, one for keeping your keep above 70%, and one for finishing inside the mission's par time.

What is Endless?

Waves that never stop: fell the spire and it rises stronger, and the sky changes as you go. It unlocks when you win mission 1.

Mission 6 is hard

It's meant to be the finale. A dreadnought guards the last spire, and only Rangers, Darts and Bolt towers can hit it. Build a full army before you push, and keep a Gale mill near the bridge to slow the waves.

Controls

Touch screens

Tap pads, plots and towers to build and upgrade. Drag the battlefield, or the minimap above the bottom bar, to look along the path. Breaktower is best in landscape on a phone.

Keyboard

A D or the arrow keys look around. Q to T train units. Space switches between Attack and Hold. Tab picks the next pad. F changes the speed, P or Esc pauses, and M mutes.

Game controllers on Android

Left and right look around, A attacks or holds, up and down pick a pad, Start pauses, and B goes back.

Progress and sound

Where is my progress saved?

On your device: in the app's own storage, or in your browser's storage for this site. On iPhone and iPad it also syncs through your own iCloud, so progress made on your iPhone shows up on your iPad (and back) when you open the game. On Android, your phone's backup can carry it to a new phone if backups are on. Nothing is sent to me.

Why did my progress disappear?

Deleting the app, clearing this site's data, or a private browsing window will erase it. Progress in the browser and in the apps is kept separately. For iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad, both need to be signed in to the same Apple ID with iCloud turned on.

I can't hear anything

Check the sound button in the top corner and the Music setting. On iPhone and iPad the game respects the silent switch, and it mixes with any music you're playing.
