Stacking games

A stacking game is a pile and a drop: something moves above the stack and you choose the moment to let go. Barumba has one stacking game, Clonk Stack.

What makes stacking work

The best stackers are one input and a lot of judgement. You learn the speed, you learn the edges, and every mistake shows on the tower. When a bad drop also shrinks what you have to work with, each decision carries forward.

How Clonk Stack plays

A block glides back and forth above the tower. Tap or press Space to drop it. Any overhang is sliced off, so the next block is narrower. Land dead-centre for a Clonk: the block keeps its width, the combo climbs, and from the third Clonk in a row the block starts growing back. Three misses or 60 seconds end the run.

A tower you can compare

Clonk Stack runs in the browser with no download, and its daily mode gives every player the same tower for the UTC day. That turns a solo high-score game into a shared one.
