About the game
Drop swinging critters from a crane onto a 3D tower, line each one up for a PERFECT landing and keep the stack from toppling.
Critter Stack is a 3D stacking game. A critter swings from a crane on a rope; tap to drop it onto the tower below. A centred drop is PERFECT, a close one GREAT and anything further off GOOD, and every landing adds to your score and earns coins: three for PERFECT, two for GREAT and one for GOOD. Miss the stack, or let the tower lean too far, and it topples and the run is over. Every animal has a temper of its own: the grumpy hippo glares and a storm cloud gathers over it when you land on its head, the nervous zebra sweats when the tower leans, the lion dozes off mid-stack, and the whole tower freezes and looks at you in the moment before it goes over.
Coins unlock new Habitats to stack in: start in the Savanna, then open the Tundra, Woodland and Frontier. Stack Setup tunes the challenge with Difficulty (Relaxed, Normal or Wild), Swing speed (Slow, Medium or Fast) and Base width (Narrow, Standard or Wide). High Scores keeps your top towers, and Play a Friend opens a game over the net with a six-digit room code, where you each build a tower and the higher score wins.
