How to play
- A block swings left and right above the tower. Tap the tower, press Drop block or hit Space to release it.
- The block lands where it was when you let go. It has to overlap the block below or it falls away and the game ends.
- The tower stands only while the weight above every block sits over the block beneath it. Overhang too far and it topples.
- Every block you stack scores a point. Landing within a hair of centre snaps the block into place for a bonus point.

Tips and strategy
- Drop as the block crosses the middle, where it moves fastest but lines up with the tower.
- Wide blocks are heavier. A wide block hanging over the edge tips the tower sooner than a narrow one.
- The swing speeds up as the tower grows, so find the rhythm early.
- A few small overhangs in opposite directions balance out. Several in the same direction do not.
FAQ
- Is it real physics?
- The tower uses a simple balance rule: the centre of mass of everything above a block must sit over the block below. It is deterministic, so a drop is judged the same way every time.
- What counts as a perfect drop?
- Landing within a few pixels of the centre of the block below snaps it into line and adds a bonus point.
- Is my best saved?
- Yes. Your best score is saved on this device.
