Drop colorful blocks onto scoring zones, stack strategically, and use bombs to launch blocks sky-high for massive score multipliers. 50 Challenging Levels. Protect Your Squishyma! Meet the adorable Squishyma—your devoted team. Games begin with 3 Squishyma. Keep them safe through each round to earn more bombs. Lose them all and it's game over. Earn a new Squishyma every third level. Strategic Bomb Mechanics Unlike other stacking games, Stack and Bomb lets you place bombs under your stacks to launch blocks high into the air. The higher a block flies, the greater the score multiplier it earns when it lands on a score pad. Master the timing and physics to maximize your points. How to Play: Drop blocks in stacks or piles. Drag bombs onto the blocks and land them in the scoring zones. Each zone has a point value. At the end of each round, your blocks are scored based on where they landed and how high the block had flown. Clear the minimum score requirement to advance and unlock new stages.
