About

Stync

Read full description

STYNC is a one - tap precision stacking game. A block slides across the screen. Tap to place it on your tower. Land it perfectly and your block stays full width. Miss and it gets sliced, smaller every time. Lose too much width and it's game over. HOW TO PLAY • Tap at the right moment to stop the moving block • Perfect alignment preserves the full width • Off-center cuts a piece off permanently • Survive 25 levels of increasing speed THE CHOICE AT LEVEL 10 Halfway through, you decide: - RISK: speed climbs faster, scores ×1.5 - SAFE: a gentler pace, scores ×0.8 Choose wrong and the last 15 levels will punish you. PERFECT STREAK Land consecutive perfect taps and the sound rises with each one. Precision under pressure has its reward.
