How to play StaxFall

Desktop

Move the mouse cursor over the hanging block and click the left mouse button to drop it. The block rotates by itself, so wait for the angle you want before you click.

Mobile and tablet

StaxFall works on phones and tablets. It is played in portrait orientation.

About StaxFall

It is a 2D puzzle game played with nothing but the mouse.

Each block hangs over the middle of the platform and spins at a steady speed, and you click to let it fall when the angle looks right. Your score climbs with every block that stays put, and the run ends as soon as one slides off the edge.

You never get to pick the next piece. Some are long rectangles and others are Z-shaped, much like tetris pieces, so the tower you plan rarely matches the one you end up with.

Where a block lands depends on the angle it falls at. Drop it at the right moment and it settles near the center, but drop it at a bad one and it drifts off to the side. That makes this a building game about timing more than planning.

Quick summary

  • Each round starts with an empty platform and a block hovering over its center.
  • The block keeps rotating until you click, then it falls onto the platform or the stack.
  • Every block that stays on adds to your score, and the next shape appears.
  • The round is over the moment any block falls off the edge of the platform.

Key features

  • You stack oddly shaped, colored block pieces, from long rectangles to Z shapes.
  • The whole game runs on one mouse button.
  • Blocks spin at a constant speed, so the timing of your click sets the landing angle.
  • The drop angle decides whether a block lands near the center or off to the side.
  • You keep scoring until a block falls off the platform.

Tips & tricks

  • Watch one full rotation before your first click so you get a feel for the speed.
  • When a stable shape like a long rectangle shows up, take your time with it, because you cannot count on getting another one soon.
  • Aim every drop so the block settles near the center of the stack, where it has the least chance of sliding off.
