Build a workforce to tow a car

Towing Squad is a free game that can run idle or can be sped up by tapping the screen. The object is to pull a car down a road, clocking in distances and boosting your manpower when necessary.

While most vehicle-based games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Dr. Driving focus on driving cars, this app is about the less glamorous topic of pulling a car that apparently has engine problems. Simply tap on the screen, and your men will pull.

Slow going at first

The object of Towing Squad is to tow a car from one end of the road to another. You start off with just one worker holding the towing rope, which makes tugging the car slow work. However, as the car is moved along, you will start to earn virtual money that can be spent on hiring new workers.

Merge your workers

In addition to hiring extra workers, you can merge your workers together into a single, stronger worker. The more men you have, the faster the car will be pulled along, and the faster you will earn virtual money. As you speed up, you will begin overtaking rival cars, adding a competitive touch to Towing Squad.

Earn bonuses

Towing Squad features a range of bonuses that you will encounter after passing certain distance goals. These include a scooter that speeds up your workers and a cheerleader who boosts your income while on-screen. You can also obtain these by watching in-game adverts.

Simplistic but accessible

Towing Squad is a very simple game. All there is to it is tapping the screen until you have enough points for the next upgrade. For those looking for an unchallenging idle game, it will serve to pass the time. Be warned, though, that the ultimate goal (overtaking the other 999 cars) will take a very long time.
