Stack Ball is a 3D arcade game where players smash, bump and bounce through revolving helix platforms to reach the end. Sound easy? You wish! Your ball smashes like a brick through colorful platforms that block its descent, but if you hit a black one, it's all over! Your ball shatters to pieces and you have to start your fall all over again. But even black platforms are no match for a fireball falling at full speed! Choose your strategy: speed up like a madman or stop and wait for your next chance to roll and jump. Other ball games wish they were this fun! Why Stack Ball rules: - Crazy fast speed - Fun gameplay - Bright vibrant graphics - Simple and easy to play - Great time killer
