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!
