Combat happens in pieces scattered across your screen. In Drag & Shoot, the game is divided into several independent windows that you control directly. Use your mouse to reposition active screens in real-time, opening new paths, avoiding massive attacks, and turning your desktop into the ultimate arena.

Every run brings a new strategy. Quick reflexes won't be enough without matching firepower. Gather resources in the heat of battle to shape your ship your way. Invest in perks to improve your vital stats and visit the shops to acquire or upgrade weapons and shields. Mix powerful equipment with the right upgrades to create absurd synergies and forge an unstoppable build.

Start with the basics and expand into a devastating arsenal! Replace your starting shots with continuous Lasers, frantic Machine Guns, blazing Flamethrowers, Piercing Shots, or AoE Missiles. The variety doesn't stop at the attack: your regenerative shield holds a trump card for when it breaks. Choose unique effects for the moment your defense drops to zero, like releasing a Shockwave that sweeps projectiles off the screen, causing massive explosions, shooting your own shield at enemies, healing your HP, or granting precious moments of Invulnerability.

Think you're safe by switching to another window? The bosses are global enemies and aren't trapped inside the game's windows. They freely occupy the empty space of your desktop, navigating through the transparent parts of your monitor to surround you and launch massive attacks. To take down these giants, you'll need to master the art of dragging windows in real-time and dodging bullets coming from all sides.

No battle is in vain. With every attempt, your pilot experience permanently evolves. Level up to leave the basic model behind and expand your fleet with increasingly lethal spaceships. Unlock advanced ships that enter combat already equipped with weapons, shields, and enhanced stats, ensuring your next run starts with a tactical advantage.
