Tap. Stack. Climb into the neon sky. Upblock is a one-tap stacking game that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Tap to drop each sliding block onto your tower. Line it up perfectly to keep it whole, or watch the overhang get sliced off and your block get smaller. The higher you go, the faster the blocks move. How tall can you build?
