Jack told his mother that he went to sell cows to the market, but he exchanged the man's beans for cows. An angry mother throws beans into the garden, but the next morning the beans grew into giant trees. Jack climbs the bean tree, steals the harp at the giant's castle above the clouds, and takes it home. The game starts when Angry Ogre follows Jack to the ground. You should catch the auger with the pit installed on the ground. Since there are five augers, please capture them with the same color. If you catch it with a different color, the game will be over. To guide the auger, touch the seeds to stretch the vines and change the course. The stretched vine returns to its original seed when the auger passes. If you catch the auger on the shortest course, you will get a high score.

Stack Away

Read full description

Objective: Players need to sort piles of worms by color. The goal is to manage the board space efficiently by creating stacks of worms of the same color. When a stack of 10 or more worms of the same color is formed, those worms go underground, freeing up space on the board. The game continues endlessly, increasing in complexity as the player progresses through the levels. Gameplay Mechanics: Sorting: Players move worms around to create stacks of the same color. Stacking: When a stack reaches 10 or more worms of the same color, it disappears (goes underground), liberating space on the board. Board Space Management: Players must strategically manage the limited board space. If there isn't enough space for new worms, the player loses. New Stacks: Each move causes a new stack of worms to appear, adding to the challenge of managing the board. Levels: The game features an endless number of levels, each increasing in difficulty. As levels progress, the appearance rate of new stacks may increase, or special worms with unique abilities could be introduced. End Condition: The game ends when the board is completely filled with worms, and there is no space left for new stacks to appear. Visuals and Animation: The worms are colorful and animated, with playful movements as they are sorted and stacked. Fun, vibrant backgrounds and sound effects add to the engaging atmosphere of the game. Strategies: Players must think ahead and plan their moves to create large stacks efficiently. Quick decision-making and spatial awareness are key to progressing through higher levels. Stack Away offer a fun and challenging puzzle experience, appealing to players who enjoy strategic sorting and space management games.
