Explosive Arcade Block Stacker Stack and Bomb is a throwback to high-scoring arcade fun with explosive twists. 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.

Skyward Towers is a fast-paced endless stacker where precision is everything. Your goal is simple: stack building segments as high as you can while the crane swings faster and faster. One wrong move and your unstable tower will come crashing down. Game Modes - Normal: Segments lock into place once they stop moving, so you only need to focus on your next drop. - Hardcore: Segments never lock—every placement matters, and even the slightest imbalance can topple your tower. Earn & Spend Points Each successful drop earns you points based on placement and accuracy. Spend your points in the in-game store on helpful tools or fun aesthetics. Points can also be earned through short ads or purchased in-app. Powerful Tools - Slow Down! – Reset the crane speed to its starting pace. - Freeze Lock – Freeze your tower to stabilize risky builds. - Eraser – Remove the last misplaced segment. (Max 3 of each tool can be held at once.) Build higher, play smarter, and test your balance skills in Skyward Towers. How tall can your tower reach?
