Features
Read full description

In this unique game you will be able to do many different things with one finger. You have to choose between raising your stack and growing it forward. However, when making this choice, you should make it according to the obstacles that appear in the future. If you're going horizontally, a normal stair barrier on the ground can explode your entire stack in turn. But if you're vertical, you can get away with just leaving a small piece at the bottom.
