Tap. Drop. Stack. Drift & Stack is a calm, satisfying stacking game. Blocks drift across the screen — tap to drop each one onto your tower. Line it up perfectly and it lands whole; miss the edge and the overhang slices away. Keep stacking as high as you can. SEVEN LIVING WORLDS Stack in a misty Zen garden, a golden-hour Ocean bay, a sunlit Forest of pines, a neon Space nebula or under the northern lights of Aurora, or unlock the Dunes desert and the rainy rooftops of City Lights. Every world has its own light, weather and original soundtrack (koto and shakuhachi, bossa nova, woodland folk, half-time synthwave, a celesta waltz, oud and hand drums, lo-fi Rhodes) that builds as your tower grows, and perfect drops chime in tune with the music. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Chill — slow drift and wider blocks for pure relaxation • Flow — the classic experience • Rush — fast, unpredictable, and the drift can flip direction MORE TO DISCOVER • A daily gift that grows through the week • Three new missions and a daily challenge every day, with bonus Bricks and streaks • Perfect-drop streaks that widen your block • Dress your brick avatar from 90+ hats, colours, skins, faces and glasses • 21 titles to earn and show off • Friends and global leaderboards with friend codes, and markers for the heights to beat • Optional boosts from short videos: a second chance and the Drift Shield MADE WITH CARE • Smooth on every screen, with haptics and reduced-motion options • Play offline; no account or email needed • Fair, family-friendly design: no ads during play, and players under 13 get a version without online features Drift & Stack is free to play and supported by ads between games.
