About

Just Stack

Features
Read full description

How high can you stack? Just Stack is a one-touch arcade game about timing, nerve, and precision. A block slides across the screen. Tap to drop it. Every imperfect landing trims your stack smaller. Miss completely and the run is over. Easy to start. Hard to master. **STACK WITH PRECISION** Land each block cleanly to keep your tower alive. Hit perfect drops to build combos and push your score higher. **STAY CALM UNDER PRESSURE** Wait too long and the active block starts shrinking. Make your move before it disappears completely. **USE STARS WISELY** Collect stars during a run and spend them on WIDE, a boost that restores full width for your next drop when you need a second chance. **WATCH FOR HAZARDS** Bombs start appearing as your score climbs. Tap them before they hit your block, or risk losing part of your stack. **CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS** Track your best run, compare scores, and compete through Game Center. **JUST ONE MORE GO** Just Stack is built for quick sessions, instant restarts, and that constant feeling of one more try.

OUCH. is stupidly simple. Impossibly hard. Dangerously addictive. You're a glowing ball between two walls of spikes. Tap to dash to the other side. That's the whole game. You'll die in 2 seconds. Then you'll tap retry. And again. And again. No tutorials, no loading screens โ€” you're playing in one second. Instant death, instant retry. Starts easy, then the spikes come faster, from both sides, with smaller gaps. Good luck. NEW IN V2: Choose your nickname. Survive spike waves to level up โ€” each level faster than the last. Collect golden coins along the way. Every 5 coins earn you an extra life. You'll need it. The game roasts you when you die. Score 0? "did you even try?" Score 50? "you're not human" Screenshot your score. Share it. Prove it. Beat your friends. Beat your record. Beat the game. (Spoiler: you can't.) OUCH. โ€” you've been warned.
