— The basics

What is Stack Ball?

Stack Ball is a fast, satisfying arcade smash game. A bouncing ball sits above a tall spinning tower made of coloured platforms, and your job is to crash it all the way to the bottom. Hold to power-smash through layer after layer — but the moment you hit a red platform, the run is over.

Stack Ball is all about rhythm and timing. The tower keeps spinning, so the safe gaps and the deadly red sections are always moving. Build a long smashing combo and the ball turns into an unstoppable fireball that powers straight through everything. It is a quick, punchy game that is endlessly replayable.
