Stack Rush — a free, addictive stacking game you can play in your browser

Stack Rush is a fast, minimalist arcade game with one rule: tap to drop the moving block on top of the tower. Any part that hangs over the edge gets sliced off, so every sloppy drop makes your tower thinner — and one bad tap ends the run. Land a drop dead-center and it counts as a PERFECT, keeping your block at full width and building a combo multiplier for bonus points.

There's nothing to download and nothing to sign up for. It runs instantly on any phone, tablet or computer, which makes it the perfect time killer for a queue, a commute or a boring meeting break. Games last seconds, so "just one more try" turns into twenty.

How to play

• Tap the screen (or press Space/Enter on a keyboard) to drop the moving block.
• Whatever overhangs the tower is sliced off — your block gets narrower.
• Drop it dead-center for a PERFECT: no slice, combo up, bonus points.
• Chain perfects to slowly regrow your block back to full size.
• The tower speeds up as you climb. Miss completely and it's game over.

Why is it so addictive?

Stack Rush uses the same loop as the most-played casual games ever made: instant restarts, a visible high score to beat, escalating speed, and a satisfying "perfect drop" sound that your brain wants to hear again. Each run takes under a minute, so the cost of failing is nearly zero — but the pull to beat your best score never goes away.
