Creep Stack

What is Creep Stack?

Creep Stack is a physics stacking game. A creature hangs over a small platform, you drop it, and it lands on the tower with real weight and wobble. Then the next one comes. The tower grows, sways and, sooner or later, comes crashing down.

The fun twist is the shapes. Every piece is one of twikoi's drawings, and the game traces the real outline of each one, so a round face rolls, a long-legged figure tips, and a bulky creature makes a great base. No two towers are the same.

As you climb you pass through four skies, from the garden up into candy clouds, a night orbit and finally the deep eyes.

How to play

1. Tap the screen or press Space to drop the creature that is hanging over the tower.
2. Turn it before you drop with the arrow buttons, Q and E, or a two-finger twist on a phone.
3. Try to land each creature near the middle of the tower top. A good landing counts as a clean drop.
4. If a creature falls off the platform you lose one of your 3 hearts. Lose all three and the tower topples.
5. Every few drops a special catch comes along: the sticky strawberry glues to anything, the freeze star holds the whole tower still for a moment, and a heart gives a heart back.
6. Keep going as high as you can. Your height in metres is your record.

Features

• Real 2D physics with shapes traced from her drawings.
• Five clean drops in a row start fever: points ×2 for 12 seconds, as long as you keep landing cleanly.
• Teeter moments in slow motion when the tower nearly goes.
• Four skies to climb through: the Garden, Candy Clouds (from 3.5 m), Night Orbit (from 10 m) and The Deep Eyes (from 18 m).
• A milestone cheer every metre, with creatures from your tower flying across the screen.
• A museum-style ending that pans up your tallest tower, labels each creature and links to it on her site.
• Share your height with a copyable message.

Modes, levels and unlocks

Play

An endless climb with a random order of creatures. Your best height and score are kept.

Daily Tower

Once a day everyone gets the same creatures in the same order. Your daily best is kept separately, so you can compare with friends.

Tips

• Wide, flat creatures make a strong base. Save the pointy ones for later.
• Turn long creatures sideways before you drop them.
• Use the sticky strawberry to glue a wobbly top together.
• Drop the freeze star when the tower starts to lean. It buys you a calm moment.

Who will like Creep Stack?

Creep Stack is for people who like quick, tense, one-more-try games. A run lasts a few minutes, and there is always that moment when the tower leans and you hold your breath.

Because the shapes come from her drawings, it also rewards looking closely: you start to learn which creatures are steady, which ones roll, and which ones are trouble. The Daily Tower makes it a nice game to compare with friends, since everyone gets the same creatures.
