It was uploaded to YouTube on 9th August 2016. Sqaishey also recorded a separate episode on her channel, still featuring Stampy, where she plays the single-player part of the game. In Survival mode, players have three lives. Whenever a block falls off below, they lose one life. Players must either be the last tower remaining or finish the set amount of blocks to win. As each player loses, the blocks falls faster.
Players are ranked by who dies first to last or if all blocks are used, whoever reaches the timer first. In Puzzle mode, players must stack as many blocks as possible onto a small base below a laser line. Like Survival mode, whenever a block is lost, a penalty is given. This penalty is that the base moves higher to the line. When a block touches the laser line, you can no longer place any blocks but set your score of blocks. People are ranked by the amount of blocks, the one with the most wins. In Race mode, players must only build high enough to reach a finish line. There are no penalties for losing blocks, and there are no lives. The finish line also lowers gradually as the time goes on. Players are ranked by who had the tallest tower but only can finish when one player touches the finish and stays for a few seconds. The Easy difficulty mostly has no negative spells and only white magic. Normal difficulty contain both black and white magic. Special difficulty has a more varying amount of circumstances.
In Survival mode with Special difficulty, every player will have a random black magic effect on them from time to time. In Puzzle mode with special difficulty, you get no magic and must build off a pole with wedges on the sides. Tricky Towers uses physics based tower building game mechanics. Although there is some visual similarity to Tetris, the gameplay is entirely different. It features falling blocks but the goal is to stack blocks onto a tower rather than clear rows. Random blocks drop from the top of the screen and rows do not disappear, but blocks may fall off the tower. During the game, events may cause changes to the block physics, such as doubling in size, becoming slippery, or dropping at faster rates. The player takes control of one of the available wizard avatars and must, depending on the game mode, compete against other wizards in building his wizard tower to be as tall and stable as possible, and as quickly as possible. The games are short and fast-paced and are easy to pick up and play. Players can use magic spells to assist themselves or to hinder opponents.
During a match, there are 17 spells which can become available to the player. Spells are divided into Light and Dark magic categories – Light magic focuses on augmenting your tower while Dark Magic revolves around interfering with your opponents, such as damaging or weakening their towers, or meddling with their engineering efforts in other devious ways. The game has 3 distinct multiplayer game modes: Race, Survival and Puzzle. In the Race game mode, players must compete to be the first to build a tower tall enough to pass the finish line. Efficiency and construction speed are key to this game mode and it makes for a fast-paced and frantic game experience. In Survival, the player must try and place a certain number of bricks on their tower without dropping too many and losing their health. They must focus on careful construction and smart application of spells to triumph.
The Puzzle game mode is more slow-paced compared to the other two. Players need to try and place as many bricks on their tower as possible below a certain cut-off point. This requires a more creative style of play, as the player has to try and overcome the physics and come up with various engineering solutions. There are also a number of single-player challenges available, where the player has to try and achieve a certain set of conditions depending on the challenge to succeed. There are also single-player versions of the Survival and Puzzle game modes where players compete for a high score, and the Xbox version of the game introduced a single-player version of the Race game mode, which was later added to other platforms.
