StaxFall is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. Think puzzle, merge and block & tetris-like — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About StaxFall
Embark on a stacking adventure in ‘StaxFall’! Combine the thrill of Tetris with the challenge of physics-based stacking. Strategically position Tetris-like pieces atop an immovable base. As each piece falls, precision and quick thinking are key to building a towering masterpiece. How high can you stack before the balance tips? Test your stacking skills in this addictive puzzle game!
How to play StaxFall
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The reason StaxFall holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — puzzle — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
