Stackado is a relaxing color sort puzzle where you stack and sort blocks by color inside slim tubes. Move one block at a time, organize every tube into a single color, and enjoy a clean, satisfying logic game that is simple to learn and challenging to master. With 210 handcrafted levels and four different level types, Stackado is the perfect sort puzzle game for short breaks or long, cozy evenings. 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.
