Stack Tide

Played in your browser on a desktop in landscape, this is a one-player puzzle of stacking blocks that drift as they fall. You drag with the mouse or use the keyboard to move and rotate each piece, then drop it to build upward while the tide climbs. Missed blocks sink and the water rises faster, so each run is a quiet test of timing and balance.

About this game

Stack Tide is a physics-based stacking game where every block matters. Drop and rotate drifting shapes, build the tallest tower you can, and stay ahead of the rising tide. Missed pieces fall into the water, the sea rises faster, and one bad drop can bring everything closer to the end. With simple controls and endless replay value, every run becomes a tense battle between balance, timing, and pressure.
