Stack: how to play, and how to build higher
Stack is a one-tap game. A block slides back and forth above your tower; tap to drop it. Your score is how many blocks you stack.
The rules
- Whatever hangs over the edge of the block below is cut off, so every sloppy drop makes the tower narrower.
- A drop very close to dead centre counts as perfect and keeps the full width. The margin is small, and it differs a little from one Stack game to the next.
- A block that misses the tower completely ends the run.
- Each block moves a little faster than the last one, usually 1% to 2% faster.
- If you don't drop a block within 15 seconds, the run ends.
Tips
- Watch the edges, not the block. Tap when the block's edge lines up with the edge of the tower below.
- Find the rhythm early. The first blocks are the slowest, so use them to learn the timing; that's when perfect drops are easiest.
- Don't chase a bad drop. Once the tower is narrow, aim for the middle of what's left, not where the tower used to be.
- Every block starts from a different side and place in every run, so a run can't be learned by heart. Watch each one.
- Play free first to learn a new Stack game. Free runs cost nothing.
How the target is set
Before a Stack game goes live, test players of mixed skill play it hundreds of times. They play like people: they slip now and then and sometimes react late. The target is set so about 45% of them beat it, and it's re-tuned from real runs as people play.
When you play for Luck Points, beating the target pays twice what you played. Free play costs nothing and pays nothing.
Why scores can be trusted
Your phone sends the moment you tapped for each block. The server replays your taps and keeps the score it gets, so the leaderboard only shows scores that really happened.
