Slide your paddle. Catch falling blocks. Build a tower that defies physics, then keep it standing! Paddle Stack is a one-thumb arcade game with real physics: every catch STICKS, but lean drains the glue - rebalance to make it grab back before a block cracks loose! Clean catches chain combos, off-centre catches can SAVE a leaning tower, and deep streaks ignite FEVER. Tap falling blocks with your other hand to spin them - side landings stick too. Dodge exploding red bombs and tower-eating black blocks - chase golden jackpots. Stack perfect catches to earn random power-ups - super glue, slow-mo, a stabilizer slab, a magnet, an extra heart. One goal every round, a level to grow, styles to unlock, lifetime stats to build. No ads. No account. No internet needed.
