About

Stacks Away (Lite)

Features
Read full description

Stacks Away is an easy to learn, fast-action arcade game. The objective is to keep growing stacks of colored pieces from reaching the top of the screen. You do this by arranging pieces of the same color together to make them disappear. Gameplay is simple: touch anywhere on a stack to lift the top piece, drag left or right, then lift your finger to drop the piece on the new stack. It may be simple at first, but as the pieces come faster and faster, trust me - you will be challenged. World-wide bragging rights can be earned by getting the top score on the Game Center leaderboard. Multiple color schemes are included, so you can change things up during long gaming sessions. The full version of the app - available for one low price (with no in-app upgrades to soak you for more money later) - contains multiple variations of the game, including more challenging versions for when the starting levels become too easy for you. (And of course, the full version is ad-free.) Download now - and get stacking!
