Glide Tower is a popular Roblox Obby game that can be quite challenging for some players to master. Obby, or obstacle course games, are dime a dozen on the platform due to the inherent challenge associated with finishing those games. Developed by Game Indo, Glide Tower was released on May 7, 2025, and has already crossed 12.5 million visits on the platform.

The objective of the game is very simple. Climb the hill and get to the top by navigating and gliding through the course. You are bound to fall a few times at least in your quest to reach the top.

This article is a comprehensive guide to Glide Tower with tips and tricks for beginners that can be essential for them to increase the chances of completing the game with flying colors.

Glide Tower has basic movements with the WASD keys. Players can use the mouse to reorient the camera. Movement and camera control are quite important during platforming. After logging into the game, the players will find a steep hill in front of them with a jumping-off platform on the left.

Remember, to effectively glide, always jump before walking off the platform, and keep pressing the forward (W) key to continue gliding. Players need to use gliding quite often while traversing the obstacle course, and should master how the mechanics work as soon as possible.

Most of the platforms in Glide Tower are made of blocks that have shades of brown. The Arrows on the platform indicate glide points. Players need to take care of the white blocks as they damage their character. Players have a health bar that appears on the top right when damaged. Remember, you can regenerate health by standing still. A circle on a platform means that it is a jumping pad.

Another mechanic that players need to be mindful of is invisible ladders sprinkled around the obby. See the photo below in case you find it confusing.

There is a ‘Glide’ button on the left of the screen, which can help players who have fallen to gain some height artificially. It can be a lifesaver in difficult situations. The game gives you three Glide uses for free, and you can buy more with Robux. On the right, you can disable the music if you find it too distracting.

You can also spectate other people in the lobby or invite friends to play the game. The lock button disables camera zoom options in-game. The last button on the right is the checkpoint toggle button.

Players who are struggling can make the game substantially easier by enabling checkpoints.
