Stack Sip

Read full description

Guess the order. One stack of cans. You only see a count. Stack Sip is a portrait can-ordering puzzle from the trend you already know: rearrange beverage cans until every one sits where it belongs. You never see which cans are correct — only how many — so each move is a small guess. Drag, flick, and lift cans free. Build one clean stack. Watch the count climb. When every can is right, the stack settles and the next level opens. • Ten levels, from 3 cans to 12 • Short sessions built for focus, not grind • Portrait play for one hand and a quiet moment • Free. Offline. No accounts. No ads. Download Stack Sip and guess the order.

A crane swings a floor on a cable. Tap once, and let go at exactly the right moment. Land it dead centre and residents parachute in under umbrellas, your streak climbs, and the tower stays plumb. Land it badly and it leans, and every floor after that gets harder, because a crooked tower sways further and the block you are aiming at will not sit still. Stack too far over one edge and it does what it should: it comes down. BUILD YOUR CITY Every finished tower goes on a city grid, and each new contract has a rule about what it must be built next to. Blue residential, red commercial, green office, gold luxury, and a Mega Tower that has to be hemmed in by all four. Fill all twenty plots and a new district opens, with its own sky, ground and skyline. Planned a corner badly? Demolish a tower and build again. COME BACK EVERY DAY A daily gift that grows all week, up to 500 coins on day seven. Three new goals at midnight, and a bonus chest for finishing all three. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Build City: the campaign. Contracts, neighbours, districts. • Endless: one tower, as high as you can take it. • Time Attack: sixty seconds. A perfect drop buys two more; a miss costs five. • Versus: two players on one phone. Pick a race of 8, 12, 16 or 20 floors; the top half turns around so you can sit opposite each other. EARNED, NOT BOUGHT Four perfect drops in a row earn a balcony floor that houses twice as many people. Coins go to the depot for a spare crane, a steadier cable, or a wind anchor. FREE, WITH ADS Skyliner is free and shows ads from Google: a banner on the map, rankings and depot, and an ad between some runs. Never during a drop. Reward videos for coins or one more crane are always your choice. One optional purchase, Remove Ads, takes away the banners and the ads between runs for good. Every sprite is drawn in code and every sound is synthesised. Works on iPhone and iPad.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stack Sip at none against Skyliner's 1. Stack Sip also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
