About

Tallo

Features
Read full description

Tallo is a one-tap stacking game that takes seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. A block swings above your tower — tap at the right moment to drop it. Land it perfectly and your combo grows. Miss, and the overhang gets sliced off, leaving you a smaller block to work with. How high can you build? PERFECT DROPS, BIG COMBOS Every precise drop stacks up a combo. Chain them together and your block grows back to full size — the tower gets taller, the score climbs faster, and the coins roll in. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — no clock, three lives, pure precision. Build the tallest tower you can. • Time Attack — 60 seconds on the clock. Stack fast, stack clean, beat your best. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard to match your reflexes. FOUR THEMES Gold, Forest, Ocean and Neon — each with its own colors, glow and mood. Unlock them with coins you earn by playing, or by hitting score milestones. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Compete with friends and players around the world through Game Center. Weekly and all-time rankings show exactly where you stand. REWARDS EVERY DAY Come back daily to claim coin rewards — reach day 7 and unlock a theme. Earn achievements like Architect’s Eye for 10 perfect drops in a row. MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Crisp 3D blocks with satisfying haptics and sound • Original soundtrack that plays gently alongside your own music • Works offline — play on the plane, the train, or anywhere • Looks great on iPhone and iPad • Available in 11 languages Tallo (formerly Box Stacker) is built by an independent developer, and every update comes straight from player feedback. Download Tallo and see how tall you can build.
