Stack is an addictive arcade game where your goal is to stack blocks as high as possible. Each new block moves side to side, and you must time your tap perfectly to align it with the block below. Any overhanging part gets cut off, making your platform smaller and the game increasingly challenging. With its minimalist design, vibrant color palette, and simple yet challenging gameplay, Stack is the perfect test of your timing and precision.

FAQ

Stack is simple to learn but challenging to master:

  1. A block moves back and forth across the screen horizontally
  2. Tap or click at the right moment to place the block on top of the previously placed block
  3. Perfect alignment with the block below earns bonus points and a "Perfect" notification
  4. If your block doesn't align perfectly, the overhanging part gets cut off
  5. Each successful placement increases your score and adds to your tower height
  6. The game gets progressively harder as your tower gets taller and blocks move faster
  7. The game ends when you miss the stack completely

Your goal is to reach the highest score possible by creating the tallest tower. Sequential perfect placements will trigger special effects and bonus points!

Stack features very simple controls:

On Desktop:

  • Left Mouse Click: Place the block
  • Spacebar: Alternative for placing blocks
  • R Key: Restart the game after game over

On Mobile or Touchscreen:

  • Tap Anywhere: Place the block

The key to success is timing your taps or clicks precisely when the moving block is directly aligned with the one below it. Practice makes perfect!

You can also click the fullscreen button in the top right to enjoy the game in fullscreen mode for a more immersive experience.

What does "Perfect" mean in Stack?
When you align a block exactly on top of the previous block (with no overhang), the game rewards you with a "Perfect" placement. This not only maintains your block's full size but also typically awards you bonus points. Multiple consecutive perfect placements can trigger special effects and higher score multipliers.
How do the colors change in Stack?
The colors in Stack change gradually as you build higher, creating a beautiful gradient effect. This color progression is automatic and based on your tower's height. The vibrant color scheme is one of the game's signature visual elements and makes each tower unique.
What's the highest score possible in Stack?
There is no theoretical maximum score in Stack, as you can continue building as long as you successfully place blocks. However, the game typically gets more challenging as you go higher due to increased speed and smaller block sizes. The world's highest scores have reached into the hundreds, but most players find it challenging to get past 50 blocks.
Are there any special tricks or strategies for Stack?
One key strategy is to focus on achieving "Perfect" placements, which maintain your block size and make the game easier. Try to establish a rhythm with the moving blocks and anticipate when to tap. Some players find it helpful to focus on a specific point where the blocks cross rather than following the moving block with their eyes. Remember that speed increases as you progress, so stay focused!
