STACKERS

Stackers is a minimalist and simplistic puzzle game which is more complicated than it first appears.

 Solve confusing puzzles in an isometric grid, and try to keep up as new mechanics are introduced.

This game is puzzling, sometimes you may want to try approaching things from a different angle.


Controls

You can use the mouse for clicking all buttons and menus but the keyboard is used to solve the puzzles.

You control the counters with WASD, however, due to the isometric grid, these are slightly abnormal, which may confuse non-gamers. 

The W key represents the direction that is effectively North-East, moving away from the bottom-left corner.  

There is a visual indicator in the bottom left that should greatly help with your sense of direction. 

If you are really struggling, I can recommend tilting your head about 30 degrees right!


Game Development Updates

This game is still in a demo phase, and currently has 40 different levels. 

The levels are split into sections of 10, with each section focusing on a new mechanic.

The game also has a level editor where you can create your own levels, and soon you will be able to publish them for other players.

In the future I will redesign the last section of 10 levels, as it is slightly unfinished, and I will add one final section.

Being unfinished, I would greatly appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. Also don't be too harsh about bugs, I'm working on it!

This is a fun and challenging browser game. I prefer to play with the arrow keys, but needed to use WASD for the orientation (to know which key to press). I'd also like an option to turn the tips off, after I've played the game once or twice.

You can turn the tips off and on in the pause menu (button in top right), as well as select levels! Thanks for the feedback, the orientation can be confusing. Also not sure if you realized but you can use the arrow keys, and the orientation is the same (W is the same as up arrow etc.)

Thanks for playing!
