Drop Wizard Tower is an arcade game developed by Neutronized and published by Nitrome. The game is a follow up to Neutronized's previous release, Drop Wizard. Unlike the previous game, which was only released on the Apple App Store, Drop Wizard Tower was released on both the App Store and Google Play. The player controls one of a group of wizards that must ascend the tower to defeat the Shadow Order.

Controls[edit]

  • Tap on-screen buttons - Change moving direction of the wizard

Gameplay[edit]

Each level of Drop Wizard Tower takes place on a single screen that can wrap both horizontally and vertically. The game is played in portrait mode and has on-screen buttons not seen in its predecessor. Upon dropping onto a platform, the wizard launches a projectile away from him or herself, stunning an enemy in its path on contact. Players must then use the wizard to push the stunned enemy in order to kill it. In order to proceed to the next level, all enemies in the current level must be killed.

The wizard is able to level up, allowing players to boost a particular skill. Upon leveling up for the first time, the player can choose any square, but for the second time only the square connected to the first chosen square can be selected.

Characters[edit]

Drop Wizard Tower has six playable characters, referred to as "wizards" in the game. Each character has their own starting skill level, an ability and a spell that can be used once a gem metre is filled.

Unlocking Kallio, Sami and Mia requires the player to purchase Laal and Baburu first.

Name Cost (gems) Ability Spell
Teo N/A (Default) Gains a 10% gem bonus at the end of each level. Casts out orbs that can hit enemies in eight directions.
Laal 125 Invulnerable to flames. Leaves a trail of flames behind when walking that can stun enemies who come into contact.
Baburu 250 Does not slow down in water. Summons a waterfall that goes down the entire middle portion of the screen, affecting any enemies in range.
Kallio 500 Reduces boss HP by 1. Sends several large rocks down into the level.
Sami 1000 Does not drift on ice. Summons a large snowball that rolls around the level.
Mia 2000 Immune to magic attacks from warlocks. Summons a heart barrier.

When the player has beaten the game with all characters at least once, the ancient egg on the splash screen will hatch and reveal the seventh character, Mustamon. While playing as Mustamon, all wizards' abilities are enabled while all enemies start in rage mode. The cost to revive is also four times more than playing with other wizards.

Enemies[edit]

Bosses[edit]

Boss levels occur every seven levels, with the exception of the first and final bosses, which appear after four levels. When the player starts moving on a boss level, the game music stops playing and the boss enters the stage as its name appears at the top of the screen. The battle begins at the same time the boss' HP bar appears on the screen, along with the boss music.

During the fight, the boss moves in a particular pattern and enemies fall onto platforms from the top. The enemies are briefly stunned when spawned and resume their normal behaviour following their entry. Only a limited number of enemies can be spawned into a boss stage at maximum. The player must use the stunned enemies to damage the boss by bumping into the enemies at a position that would cross the boss's path. Grouped enemies do not affect the amount of damage inflicted on the boss, but a group of rolling stunned enemies can hit more surfaces than a single enemy and increase the chance of the group damaging the boss.

Upon a boss's defeat, the game music immediately starts up again and multiple pickups will be on the platforms. The player has a limited amount of time to collect the pickups before they are transported to the next level.
