9/10 recommend

I love this game. I really do. It’s a good mindless game for me, so that I don’t really have to think about anything. I like trying to see how tall I can make my tower, how many perfects I can get stacked in a row, how I can line up the blocks to be cut weirdly. I really like the idea of having quests, and I really like earning different skins. I think what I like most about this game is that the layout and graphics haven’t changed in many years, so it’s still familiar and homey, almost, whenever I go into the app. I’m used to it and I love how things don’t keep changing like a bunch of other apps keep trying to do. My one complaint is that I’ve gotten all of the skins years ago, the amount of in game currency I have is piling up, and I feel like there’s less of an incentive to play without more skins to unlock. Don’t get me wrong, I love playing for the skins and the goals and trying to get a new best, and I love the simplicity of the game, I just wish that I could buy more skins or use my currency on something after unlocking all the skins. But overall a wonderful game that I’ve been loving for years.

Love the game, wish there were more updates

I love this game, it helped me practice to be able to win two jackpots on Stack at an arcade. I just wish there were more updates. More skins would be nice and missions too. I wish there was more variety in the missions but there isn’t much you can do when it’s a game as simple as this so it doesn’t affect my review personally. There isn’t much to add and I get that but it would be cool to see. Maybe there would be some sort of challenge mode or extras menu, but since this game hasn’t been majorly updated in 4 years I doubt that’ll happen. Still this is an extremely fun, simple, and addictive game. I seriously recommend, it’s great for if you’re not doing anything and just want to relax. 10/10; 5 stars.

Overall fun and relaxing [Ad suggestion below]

I absolutely enjoy this game. It reminds me of tap and stack games you would see at arcades. The piano tones that emit from the slabs after stacking them perfectly are relaxing. I also like that there skins for the slabs that you can get by simply playing the game and those skins alter the background (for example the fish slab skin adds bubbles to the background alongside the gradient colors). Just to mention, there are some skins that you can get only by liking through facebook and instagram. [Ad suggestion] I recommend there a title screen transition into an advertisement. Like a view screen of the Stack’s logo, the creator’s logo and a notice that an ad is coming up next. The reason I recommend this is due to how sudden the ads appear when I simply open the app or finish a game of Stacks. It’s uncomfortable to get immediately hit with an ad. It’s as if it’s being thrusted into my face and I’m so annoyed I’m not even paying attention to what’s being advertised to me. Especially when it’s an ad that has a loud sound or theme. I’m aware that ads can be removed for $2.99, but I feel the sudden burst of an ad will negatively effect the app’s presentation. In conclusion, I just want a warning that an ad is about to appear.

3 major issues. Otherwise great game.

1. You can’t save your progress, even though sign in is an option. When you delete the game, all your designs, diamond, achievements/ challenges go away. Very frustrating after countless hours of collecting. I’ve now unlocked and lost every design twice, I recently uninstalled and lost my 3000 diamonds and my 300 high score, along with all the designs. 2. The game can get laggy, especially if you leave the app and come back. I have an iPhone 14 pro, and had this problem on my iPhone 12. Can’t play a game that is won with timing if the game lags. If you don’t leave the app, this probably won’t be an issue, though so not a huge deal. 3. It’s almost impossible to find a good design because they change colors and it gets too dark to see the corners. This will almost definitely cause you to fail. A few have outlined borders, which makes it easier.. but even these will get too dark sometimes (retro, art V). I will get 40 perfect in a row and then it turns black and I can’t even see the corner. It’s so frustrating and obvious that this should be an issue. I wish there were more than 2 or 3 that remain the same color each time (gold, platinum) because even these are hard to see. I love this game and it’s a really good thing to do if you like to waste your life away on your phone, but I wish just a little bit more attention to detail was put in. Maybe some new designs, progress tracker, etc.

Amazing game, but one problem.... THE ADS ARE MORE FREQUENT THEN THE GAMEPLAY

I downloaded this game about a week ago and it has been spectacular. It requires amazing skill to stack the rectangular prisms exactly on top of one another and how they designed the game to have pieces of the prism fall off when you didn't set it down perfectly. The only problem is the overwhelming number of Ads. Sometimes when I launch the game, I have to repeatedly clear and reopen it due to no escape button appearing after a said amount of time. When I do get the game to work, I feel that the Ads take up more of my time than playing the game while opened. I understand that ads are the only way to make money on free games and I can accept that. The amount of ads that are being pushed on this game is outrageous though. Not a lot of people want to purchase the ad blocker as it is a waste of money. Please maintain the amount of ads that you push into the game because it is making your customers extremely frustrated and it is ruining our playing experience.

Back in the day ads were rare

So I’ve had this game for a pretty good couple of years now but I just redownloaded it and the first greeting I get were ads after ads after ads I give this a 50/50 rating not for the ads but it did calm me down when I first got it. This game had the relaxing feel for it now when you play it you can’t even get 2+ stacks in before an ads slaps ya in the face from going to a calming feeing (the game) to a jumps scare (the ads) isn’t what first timers were expecting. For me when I first got this game the ads weren’t even there. Not saying anything bad but most games who grow to become popular with the community they’ve built build up until they fall due to constant ads or annoying pop ups. My opinion get it if you may there’s no force deciding for ya but come a couple of years don’t know if imma keep this for much longer. ~Happy gaming

This game is the perfect lazy/fun pastime. It is a great cure for boredom. When my friend first sent this game to me I was so excited, since when I was little I always loved playing stack games anywhere I could find them. The rating is +12, but I'm not sure why. Other than the difficulty range might be for people in the older range, you can improve quickly. Adds haven't really been a problem I have only gotten 1 or 2 adds, but I only played a few times for two days now. It is a great game to play with friends to see who has the highest score😁 It's always really pretty to see the end of the tower seeing all the gradients throughout it. Short disclaimer- I might not have the most experience only playing for a few minutes😂😬

Very good modern mobile game!👍

Most mobile games now are such cheap quality, but with this game, it is very nicely made by an awesome company who makes uniquely styled games. Most games give you an ad after 1 lever or 1 second of starting the game, and it makes me furious when I get disturbed. But with this, it gives you a few more tries before giving you an ad, and I can appreciate that. Lastly, this game is like what they advertised. Most modern mobile games(aka Voodoo, etc) make ads for games that look promising, but then when you download it, it is NOTHING like what was promised. Luckily, the people who made this game give you EXACTLY what was advertised. Nothing but a fun, zen game that is an enjoyable time killer. I recommend this game to anyone who sees it!❤️

You may have played "2048," the ridiculously catchy game that consists only of stacking numbers on top of one another.
