Drop, balance, and stack funny items across playful worlds like the kitchen, office, beach, and bedroom. Each level gives you a new set of objects and a new challenge: reach the height line, place every item, survive moving obstacles, handle wind, and use heavy or sticky objects wisely. Every object has its own shape, weight, bounce, and personality. A pan can steady your tower, a jam jar can help pieces stick together, and one bad drop can send everything tumbling. Features: - Fun physics-based stacking puzzles - Cute cartoon objects and colorful worlds -120 handcrafted levels across 4 worlds - Different object shapes, weights, and materials - Height goals, wind, moving obstacles, sticky objects, and heavy anchors - Easy to play, tricky to master - Short levels perfect for quick play sessions Build carefully, laugh when it falls, and try again until your stack reaches the top.
