Steel Tower Overview
Steel Tower was one of those physics-based construction games that felt like a staple of the Flash era. You would find it on gaming portals, a simple concept that could eat up an afternoon. The goal was straightforward, but getting there was the real challenge.
You control a cursor, placing steel beams one at a time to build a structure upward from a fixed base. Each click starts a beam, and another click sets its length and angle, locking it into place. The physics are immediate and unforgiving; if any part of your tower touches the ground besides the foundation, it's over. You watch for red stress indicators on beams, a sign to add cross-bracing or support before a section buckles. The pace is methodical, a quiet tension building with each new piece as you balance ambition against stability. It feels like a careful, precarious puzzle where every decision has weight.
