Macaron Stack

Welcome to Macaron Stack, a cozy bakery puzzle about sorting sweet stacks. Macarons come out of the oven in small batches and land on your trays. Move a run of matching macarons from tray to tray. When a tray holds ten of one flavor, they bake together into two macarons of the next flavor, and that can set off a chain. Strawberry becomes pistachio, pistachio becomes blueberry, and on it goes, all the way up to galaxy, aurora and royal. NO ADS There are no ads, no video buttons, no lives and no energy. Play as long as you like. A FAIR OVEN You always see the next batch before you press the oven. It is shaped around the flavors on your counter, and it won't leave you stuck when a kinder batch would do. EVERY LEVEL IS SOLVABLE Every one of the 500 Journey levels is proven solvable, without boosters, by our built-in solver. Each level shows its par, so you know three stars can be done. 500 LEVELS, 8 BAKERIES Travel from Paris Corner to Cloud Castle. New ideas arrive one at a time: small trays, boxed macarons, frosted trays, twin trays, a conveyor and golden orders. Every 10th level is a Grand Order. MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Endless Bakery: climb the flavors as high as you can. • Daily Recipe: the same puzzle for everyone, every day, with a streak and monthly badges. • Relax: a full counter sells itself, and undo is unlimited. • Café Orders: three minutes and a row of hungry pet customers. MAKE IT YOURS Fill a recipe book of 24 flavors, spend your stars on 40 bakery upgrades from bunting to a golden oven, and choose tray, plating and wallpaper styles with coins you earn by playing. There are 39 medals to collect. KIND TO YOU A symbol on every flavor (color-blind friendly), five free undos every level, Reduce Motion, haptics, and gentle music that lets your own music keep playing. It plays offline and saves after every move. No tracking. No accounts. Nothing collected.
