Brick Stacker tips and strategy

  • Watch the edge of the block below, not the moving block. Tap when the edges line up.
  • Find a rhythm. Blocks move at a steady speed, so counting the beats helps.
  • A small trim early is fine. Missing completely is what ends the run.
  • Chase perfect streaks. Three in a row is where your block starts growing again.
  • Blocks alternate direction, so reset your focus to the new edge after each drop.
  • On Hard the perfect window is tight, so aim for clean drops rather than perfect ones at first.

About Brick Stacker

Brick Stacker is a one tap timing game. A block slides back and forth above your tower, and you tap to drop it. Whatever part of the block hangs past the edge of the block below gets sliced off and tumbles away, so a sloppy drop leaves you with a smaller block to work with next time.

Drop it perfectly and the block keeps its full size, with a ring of light to celebrate. String three or more perfect drops together and the block starts to grow back toward its original size, which is the only way to recover from early mistakes. Each new block slides a little faster than the last.

The tower is drawn in a clean three dimensional style, with colors that shift gradually as it rises and a camera that climbs along with you. When the run ends the view pulls back to show your whole tower. Pick a difficulty to set the speed and how forgiving a perfect drop is, or play the daily tower to compare with friends.
