Stack the Sticks: Balance Game

MJ Foundry

About this game

Stack the Sticks is a relaxing physics puzzle and balance game. Pull out wooden sticks, stack them out over the edge and build a perch for a little bird – before everything tips into the clouds.

How to play
• Drag to pull out a stick: where you start is one end, where you let go is the other. You choose the length and the angle.
• Real physics decides whether it holds – that is what makes it a physics puzzle, not a drawing game. Stack it too far out and it tips; add a counterweight and it balances.
• Stack sticks into stairs, bridges, levers and towers – a little stacking, a little engineering.
• When a stick rests still beneath the bird, it hops down and perches, and the level is solved.
• Use less wood for more stars: every level has a stick budget, and the best solutions balance on very little.

A brain teaser in every world. Every world has its own mood, and something new to build with:
• Pegs that hold a lever down, or carry a shelf in mid-air
• Heavy stones as counterweights
• Slippery ice, where a leaning stick needs a foothold
• Low cave roofs that pin a plank in place
• Two birds that both need a perch
• Short sticks in the bamboo forest
• A heavy owl that presses down on whatever it lands on

From a sunny meadow to a starry night and floating sky islands, each logic puzzle asks a slightly different question about balance.

A calm, cozy puzzle game
• No timers, no lives, no failing – a stick that falls into the clouds gives its length back, and undo is always free
• A short demo shows each new idea the first time you meet it, and when you are stuck, the hint button shows where the next stick goes
• Soft wooden sounds and gentle music that changes with every world
• Warm, hand-made look: wooden blocks, sage leaves and a fluffy little bird
• A relaxing brain game and physics puzzle for a minute or a whole evening
