Many players look for an alternative way of playing the game without needing to fry their phone battery, interrupt runs during the day etc. As they look to optimise their gameplay many players turn to Emulators to be able to run The Tower on PC or Mac.

MSI App Player is a great, lightweight alternative to the more common emulators listed above and provides excellent performance and stability for running the Tower 24/7.

• To download MSI App Player - proceed to the following URL: https://www.msi.com/Landing/appplayer
• Follow the installation instructions and install the tower as you would on Android or iOS (via the App/Play store).
• After installation, it is recommended to provide as much resources as possible to your emulator so that the Tower can run as smoothly as possible (general consensus in the community is more/stable FPS means a more stable coin income). To maximise performance the following 3 steps are recommended:
  1. In the Tower game itself, open the settings (cog icon) and check the 'Enable 120FPS option
  2. Under MSI App player settings -> Performance tab, set all options to High performance (start here and scale these back if you experience issues), also set frame rate to at least 120. Optionally you can display the FPS during gameplay to track performance.
  3. Under MSI App Player Settings -> Graphics set the graphics renderer to DirectX (default is OpenGL) and the Interface renderer to DirectX. Ensure 'Prefer dedicated GPU' is also enabled.

Enjoy the The Tower on your shiny new emulator!

If you are also looking for an method to be able to remotely connect to the machine running your emulator, Google Remote Desktop is a great and free alternative.
