Tower Stack

Tower Stack is one block, one tap, and one decision made over and over again. A block slides across the top of the screen; you tap to drop it. Land it dead-centre and you lose nothing — that is a PERFECT. Land it badly and the overhang is sliced off and falls away, so the next block is narrower than the last. Miss the tower completely and the run is over. Five seconds to learn, and a very long time to master.

There is nothing to read, nothing to sign up for and nothing to wait for. Open it, tap once, and you are playing. Sixty stages climb from a foundation slab to orbit, and three free-play modes are there when you just want to stack.

★ 60 STAGES, 5 BANDS ★

Foundation, Skyline, Clouds, Storm and Orbit. Each band sets its own goal — reach a height, land enough perfects, beat the clock, or finish while your tower is still wide — and each has its own sky and its own weather. Three stars on every stage, and no stars for buying your way through.

★ THREE WAYS TO FREE PLAY ★

Endless — no timer and no ceiling, climb until you miss. Time Rush — sixty seconds to start, every block you land adds 1.2 and every perfect adds 2.5, so a clean run keeps buying itself more clock. Precision — the perfect window is cut in half, you get one free miss, and perfects pay triple.

★ THE PERFECT DROP ★

A perfect is not a bonus, it is how you survive. Every ordinary landing shaves the tower a little narrower; only a perfect keeps every inch. Chain them and the chime climbs a note each time and the tower shifts colour. Land three perfects in a row and you get width BACK — which is why a streak is worth chasing rather than just pretty.

★ WIDEN AND CONTINUE ★

Tower gone thin? Widen gives you room back for 60 coins. Missed and ended the run? Continue puts you back on top of the tower for 120 coins, once per run. Both cost you stars on a stage, so a three-star clear is always your own.

★ MAKE IT YOURS ★

Eight block materials — Sunrise, Kiln Brick, Jade, Candy Floss, Chromium, Prism Glass, Bullion and Obsidian — and six skies to climb through: Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night, Aurora and Space. Earn coins by playing and spend them on whichever you like.

★ KEEP SCORE ★

Your best score and your tallest tower in each mode, your best perfect streak, how many perfects you have landed, runs played, stars collected and how far up the ladder you have climbed. All of it on one screen.
