Stack World

Short Review: A fun, puzzle, physics based game that has you stacking boxes and all other sorts of objects on each other. A great way to keep your mind at play and thinking hard! Also has a fun level editor!

So, I was invited to play a game called Stack World. It's a physics-based puzzle game that will have you stacking boxes and all other sorts of objects on each other. The puzzles will challenge you and if you're really good at puzzles, it could be a breeze. This game has 102 puzzles in-game. In each level, you will have a stopwatch counting to the millisecond on how long you took to place all the objects. You have a certain number of objects you need to place with each one having different sizes and weights making you think on how you place them down.

The art style

is great! It has an industrial look to it. It makes you feel like you're messing with boxes and beams from a construction site.

Performance

is a very low minimum. You could go to your nearby potato pc, and it would run perfectly! Very low spec requirements to play. The steam requirements say it all!

Do I recommend Stack World?

If you want to give yourself some challenge and more puzzles, go for it! You have even more puzzles you can make and share with your friends as well which makes it even more fun!

As I write this, the game is not released yet which means things are susceptible to change in the future. If you want wishlist the game on Steam, you can here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1935300/Stack_World/

Changes/Updates I would suggest

Inside of the game, the tutorial doesn't show up first which can be a problem but in my case I learned pretty quickly. I would also like to see a grid snapping in the level editor as I saw a grid in the editor when using it. I'd also like to see the tutorial for the editor popup when you open it up for the first time as well. The puzzles (although I'm not completely certain) seem a little repetitive at times as if they're the same puzzle but with a different background. I only played through the first 35 as I planned to record it but it didn't record properly. I would also love to see a level sharing system with steam workshop or even a server where the JSON files are stored to people can download them and play them. I could also see this game being a mobile game as well as it's simple enough to probably port over to a handheld device.
