There are no timers or move limits – just thoughtful brain teasers that reward planning ahead and smart moves. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a tube to pick up the top block. • Tap another tube to drop it – you can place a block only on the same color or into an empty tube. • Keep sorting until each tube is filled with one solid color. • Take your time and undo mistakes by planning a few moves ahead. WHAT MAKES STACKADO SPECIAL • 210 handcrafted levels, from very chill to seriously tricky. • 4 level types that keep the color sorting fresh: – Default levels to learn the rules and warm up. – Hidden levels that unlock as you progress. – Special levels with unusual layouts that twist your brain. – Hard levels designed for real puzzle masters. • Smart level design – every puzzle can be solved with pure logic, no luck required. • Calm, clean visuals to keep the game feeling fresh. • Smooth one-tap controls focused completely on logic instead of reflexes. • Short, satisfying levels that make Stackado ideal as a daily brain training routine.
