Stack is a simple, calming one-tap game about building the tallest tower you can. A block slides back and forth across the top of your tower. Tap to drop it. Whatever hangs over the edge is sliced off and falls away, so the next block is smaller. Miss completely and the run is over. Land a block perfectly and it snaps into place with no loss. Chain six perfect drops in a row and your blocks start growing back, so a steady hand can keep a tower going for a very long time. FEATURES • One-tap controls: easy to learn, hard to master • Perfect-drop combos that grow your blocks back • Weekly and all-time ranks, with leagues from Bronze to Legend • Finish the week in the top 10 to win coins and lives • 57 block skins, from Leaf and Candy to Galaxy, Lava and Neon • Missions that unlock special skins • Lives let you keep going after a miss, plus 1 free life every day • Cloud save: sign in with Apple or Google and keep your progress on any iPhone or iPad • Earn coins as you play, with an optional shop for coins, lives and No Ads • Play offline any time; ranks and cloud save sync when you are online • Delete your account any time in Settings How high can you go?

Verdict

The call
