Stack Project
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Remenber that old game named Stack Attack, playable on these old solid rocks of a mobile phone by Siemens?
Stack Project is my recreation of that ancient entertainment classic.
Developing this:
It's my first game that i was proud enough to finish a playable version to publish. The game is the product of my learning process with Unity, so it's far away from being optimized besides Unity's automated stuff they do. But I would say while playing you probably don't notice that.
The Game:
As mentioned above this game is a recreation. As such I tried to keep look and feel as close to the original as possible. I oriented myself at the game version from the Siemens ME45, C45 or A50. Therefor I keeped the orange/brown-ish LCD optic. For the graphics and animations I used some youtube videos of the original game and some of the game features I built in from my own memory playing the game as a kid.
The Story:
While developing I had so much fun, that I added a pinch of secret story to the game.
It's hidden, but not too hard to find... I hope so. :D
How to Play?
Some cranes are dropping boxes from above. Avoid being crushed underneath. You can push a box sideways. If the bottom row is full, the row explodes and a new crane is added, making the game harder and harder. There's no highscore system right now, like in the original.

I was about to say it doesn't delete rows as I remember but then I restarted and it did correctly, idk what the problem was the first time. TY a lot for that one, that's my childhood go-on game and I'm so so so much grateful for that strike of nostalgia
Got 347 points, I'm feeling that I satisfied enough my inner toddler
Thank’s for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
I’m impressed people still find the game after it’s been buried in the itch.io free games pile for 4 years now.
And just in case you (and others) haven’t found my small expansion to the base game: try to walk further to the right… :)
I just got idea of recreating this game by myself but first I tried Googleing if anyone already did it and I found this. Perfect! 👌
A little thanks won't be enough for what you did... But Thank you so much!
Good Lord! The game from my childhood! Unbelievable!
Thanks for remake this gameee!!! It's really awesome!
Thanks for playing! I’m glad you like it.
Thank you very much for Playing! I’m glad someone is interested enough to play it :)
