Tower Stack - Complete Game Guide
Tower Stack is an addictive timing game where you drop swinging blocks to build the tallest tower possible. Each block that overhangs the one below gets sliced off, making the next block narrower. Nail your timing for perfect drops to keep the full width.

How to Play
A coloured block swings back and forth horizontally above your tower. Tap the screen at the right moment to drop it. The part of the block that overlaps with the block below stays; the overhanging portion is sliced off and falls away.
- Tap or click anywhere to drop the current block
- Overhanging edges get trimmed - only the overlap remains
- If the block completely misses the stack, it's game over
- The block speeds up as your tower grows taller
Tips and Strategy
Pro tip: Focus on the left or right edge of the stack below, not the centre. Line up the moving block's edge with the stack's edge for the cleanest drops.
- Perfect drops (near-exact alignment) keep the full block width and feel very satisfying
- Chain 3 or more perfect drops in a row to grow the block slightly wider
- The block alternates direction each level - get into a rhythm
- As blocks get narrower, slow down and focus more on each drop
Scoring
Your score equals the number of blocks you successfully stack. Each dropped block that has any overlap with the one below counts as a point. There are no bonus points, but perfect drops help you survive longer by preserving width.
Frequently Asked Questions
A block swings left and right above your tower. Tap the screen to drop it. The overhanging edge gets sliced off, so you need precise timing to align each block with the one below.
A perfect drop occurs when you align the block almost exactly on top of the previous one. You keep the full block width, and after 3 perfect drops in a row the block actually grows slightly wider.
Focus on the edges of the blocks rather than the centre. Wait for the moving block to align with the edge of the stack below before tapping. Chain perfect drops to grow your block width back.
