Tallo

Read full description

Tallo is a one-tap stacking game that takes seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. A block swings above your tower โ€” tap at the right moment to drop it. Land it perfectly and your combo grows. Miss, and the overhang gets sliced off, leaving you a smaller block to work with. How high can you build? PERFECT DROPS, BIG COMBOS Every precise drop stacks up a combo. Chain them together and your block grows back to full size โ€” the tower gets taller, the score climbs faster, and the coins roll in. Watch for golden blocks: land one cleanly and that drop scores ร—2. TWO WAYS TO PLAY โ€ข Classic โ€” no clock, three lives, pure precision. Build the tallest tower you can. โ€ข Time Attack โ€” 60 seconds on the clock. Stack fast, stack clean, beat your best. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard to match your reflexes. 8 WORLDS Gold, Ocean and Neon, plus five living worlds with their own blocks, sky and landscape: glowing pumpkins under a haunted moon in Halloween, maple leaves in Golden Autumn, snow and icicles in Winter, molten rock in Lava and grassy blocks in Forest. Unlock them with the coins you earn by playing. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Compete with friends and players around the world through Game Center. Weekly and all-time rankings show exactly where you stand. REWARDS EVERY DAY Come back daily to claim coin rewards โ€” reach day 7 and unlock a world. Complete 3 fresh Daily Quests every day and open a bonus chest when you finish them all. Climb the ranks from Bronze to Master and earn achievements like Architectโ€™s Eye for 10 perfect drops in a row. MADE TO FEEL GOOD โ€ข Crisp 3D blocks with satisfying haptics and sound โ€ข Original soundtrack that plays gently alongside your own music โ€ข Works offline โ€” play on the plane, the train, or anywhere โ€ข Looks great on iPhone and iPad โ€ข Available in 11 languages Tallo (formerly Box Stacker) is built by an independent developer, and every update comes straight from player feedback.
