Squad Tower

Squad Tower combines action and strategy in a vertical climb: you navigate the perilous heights of a tower using drag-and-drop controls, unleashing weapons against relentless foes while customizing your hero's appearance along the way. It's structured as a series of combat puzzles rather than a straightforward run-and-shoot.

Controls are entirely drag-based — click or tap and drag to aim and unleash weapons at enemies blocking your ascent. Because each floor or section functions somewhat like a puzzle, reading enemy placement before committing to an attack pattern tends to work better than attacking reflexively.

It's usually worth taking a moment to assess a new section of the tower before engaging, since drag-based aiming benefits from a deliberate, planned shot more than a rushed one. Customizing your hero doesn't change core combat mechanics, so it's mainly a way to personalize the experience rather than something to optimize strategically.
