Our take on PHAT STACKS

The defining detail is building stable platforms for an alien, then guiding it across those structures without causing them to collapse during timed crystal runs.

What is PHAT STACKS?

Phat Stacks is a physics-based puzzle platformer in which players build platforms and control an alien lifeform across them while collecting crystals.

Each level uses a time-based challenge, with three crystals to obtain and quick thinking and reflexes required. Platforms need sufficient support or they can collapse, and the alien can also knock them over during movement. The game includes eight levels that become increasingly difficult, with three achievements connected to each level. Steam Trading Cards are available to collect and trade with friends. The central play structure combines platform construction, alien movement, crystal collection, and physics-based hazards within short timed stages.
