Only the pencil on top can move. Can you read the pile? One simple rule: pick up a pencil only when nothing is lying on it. Pencil Pull is a calm 3D logic puzzle inspired by the classic game of pick-up sticks. Follow the overlaps and shadows, find the pencil that is really on top and clear the whole pile. Tap the wrong one and you lose a life.
