Stack Ball - Crash Platforms 1.1.68

Arcade games offer an interesting challenge as they are deviously simple in their gameplay but if you don't pay attention, you would end up failing in their mission quiet a few time. A good arcade game offers simple controls, easy to remember rules and a gameplay that keeps it easy for the player. This helps in making them an entertaining time pass for the people who want to play something simple and easy to pass their time. Stack Ball – Blast through Platforms is an app developed by Casual Azure Games that seems to have all the qualities of a solid arcade game.

The game has an extremely simple layout and this is one of the game's best qualities. There is nothing that can confuse you as the main screen is not flooded with too many options. The app keeps it simple and easy to play the game while also offering a few cool options to keep the gameplay fresh and entertaining. The main screen needs to be tapped once in order to start the level you have currently progressed too. There are three buttons at the bottom for changing volume and vibration settings, buying a premium version to avoid ads and for changing the shape of your stack ball.

The gameplay is as simple as it can get. You have a bouncing stack ball with many platforms beneath it. There are two colors in each platform. One is always black while the other keeps changing after every round. The platforms can be of different shapes and always keep moving in a circular motion. Your main goal is to ensure that as your stack ball blasts through the platforms, you do not strike any platform's black section. If you do that, you fail the level and need to start again from the top of the platform. If you succeed in getting to the bottom of the platform, you move on to the next level.

A few nuances in the gameplay offer you different options. You don't need to blast through the platforms in one go. The stack ball only moves through the platforms if you keep a hold of any point on your screen. As soon as you remove your hold, the stack ball stops in its tracks. You need to ensure that as soon as you see that your stack ball is about to encounter any platform's black section, you remove your hand from the screen to bring the stack ball to a standstill. There is another way you can get around the black platforms i.e. fire streak. The fire streak is gained if you can continuously keep blasting through the platforms for a few seconds without hitting any black spot on any platform. A round timer shows you how close you are to starting your fire streak. Once you gain it, you can blast through the platforms and pay no regards to the color of the platform as you can pass through anything in this mode. The fire streak lasts for a limited time too so you need to ensure you control the stack ball accordingly. The arcade game also offers you an ad-driven restart option where you can restart the level from the point where you lost to ensure that you don't have to start from the beginning of the round.

The arcade game offers increasing difficult challenges as the shape of the platforms, the length of the black spots in each platform and the speed of rotation of the platforms are altered to increase the difficulty level. As you gain points, you unlock different shapes that can help you in changing your stack ball to the shape of your liking.
