About Photo Tower Battle Photo Tower Battle is a physics puzzle game where you stack blocks made from your own photos. Just rub the background away with your finger, and anything around you — people, plush toys, figures, snacks — turns into a block. Drop your blocks, pile them up, and see how high you can go without toppling the tower. FEATURES * Make blocks from photos — Pick a photo and wipe away the parts you don't want with your finger. Not just people: objects, plush toys, figures, anything can become a block * Paint your own — No photo needed. Draw straight onto a clear canvas with ten colors and three brush sizes, and shape whatever you like * Real physics — Blocks stack with hit areas that follow their exact outline, so a tower that loses its balance comes crashing down. Keeping it standing is the whole skill. A block with separated parts breaks into those parts the moment you place it * Play solo — Drag a block, turn it, let go and watch it fall. See how high you can get and beat your best score * Battle the computer — Take turns against the computer (AI) in a one-player battle * Battle a friend — Share a six-digit passcode (room code) and play online * Local ranking — Your top ten scores are saved on the device * Ready to play — Nine blocks are built in (six figure poses plus three sample photo blocks), so you can start stacking the moment you install * Simple controls, kid-friendly wording — Easy enough for children, fun for grown-ups HOW TO PLAY 1. Tap Make, pick a photo, and rub away the parts you don't want to create a block (or choose Paint a block to draw one instead) 2. Tap Play, drag the block into place, turn it with the rotate button, and let go to drop it 3. Stack as high as you can without toppling the tower. If it collapses and falls off the floor, the game is over BATTLE MODES In the solo battle you take turns with the computer (AI), stacking block by block. To play with a friend, make a room and share the six-digit passcode, or type in the passcode you were given. You can play in real time even when you are far apart. PRIVACY All photo cutting happens on your device, and the block images you make are never sent anywhere. Online battles only exchange block moves and game state — no personal information is included.
