SLICE and STACK — The Precision Cutting Game Slice beautiful 3D objects in half with surgical precision. Choose from 30 unique blades, master 50+ real-world materials, and build the tallest tower from your cut pieces. SLICE IT Draw your cut line across stunning 3D objects — jade, crystal, diamond, plasma, and more. Every material behaves differently. Use water cooling for hard materials, pick the right blade, and aim for the perfect 50/50 split. STACK IT Every piece you cut gets stacked onto your tower. Choose wisely — bigger pieces score more points but can destabilize your tower. Balance risk and reward as your tower grows taller with each level. 30 UNIQUE BLADES Start with a Laser and Katana, then unlock Diamond Saw, Plasma Cutter, Ice Blade, Flame Sword, and 24 more — all the way up to the devastating Big Bang blade. Each blade cuts differently with unique visual effects, trail patterns, and debris. 50+ REAL MATERIALS Cut through Oak Wood, Granite, Gold, Crystal, Obsidian, Ruby, Diamond, Plasma Core, Meteorite, and more. Each material has real-world density, hardness, and friction that affects how your blade performs. LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY Every material and blade comes with fascinating real-world science trivia.
