PRECISION STACK

CONTROLS: - Desktop: Press SPACEBAR or click/tap on the game canvas to drop blocks - Mobile/Tablet: Tap the screen to drop blocks - Fullscreen: Click the fullscreen button for an immersive experience BASIC MECHANICS: 1. Starting the Game: The game begins with a base block on the ground. Click or press SPACEBAR to start stacking. 2. Block Movement: - Each new block slides back and forth automatically - Blocks alternate between moving on the X-axis (left-right) and Z-axis (front-back) - Blocks bounce between boundaries, reversing direction when they reach the edge - Movement speed starts slow and increases every 8 blocks 3. Dropping Blocks: - Press SPACEBAR or tap/click to drop the moving block - The block falls and lands on top of the stack - Timing is crucial—drop when the block aligns with the one below 4. Perfect Alignment: - Dropping a block with near-perfect alignment (within 0.05 units) counts as a "perfect" placement - Perfect placements trigger a visual flash effect - Each perfect placement adds to your perfect streak counter - Perfect blocks don't get cut—they stack exactly as dropped 5. Imperfect Cuts: - When blocks don't align perfectly, only the overlapping portion remains - The non-overlapping parts fall off as cut pieces - Your new block size equals the overlap area - Future blocks will be based on this smaller size 6. Comeback System: - Achieve 3 perfect placements in a row to trigger a comeback - The comeback resets your block size back to the initial size (up to 10 units) - This gives you a second chance after making mistakes - The perfect streak counter resets after using a comeback 7. Speed Progression: - Every 8 blocks successfully placed increases the movement speed - Speed increment: +0.025 per increase - Starting speed: 0.12 units per frame - Faster blocks require quicker reactions and better timing 8. Scoring: - Each successfully placed block (even if cut) adds 1 point to your score - Perfect placements provide visual feedback but follow the same scoring - Your high score is saved in browser storage 9. Game Over: - The game ends when you completely miss the stack below - If the entire block falls off without any overlap, it's game over - Your final score and high score are displayed - Press SPACEBAR or tap to restart STRATEGIC TIPS: - Timing is Everything: Watch the block's movement pattern and predict when it will align. The longer you wait, the harder it gets. - Perfect Placement Priority: Aim for perfect alignments whenever possible. The comeback system can save you after mistakes. - Speed Adaptation: As blocks move faster, anticipate their position rather than reacting to where they are. Lead your drops slightly ahead. - Visual Alignment: Use the visual overlap between the moving block and the stack below to judge timing. Watch for when they appear centered. - Comeback Planning: Save your perfect streaks for when you really need them. If your block is getting small, focus on achieving those 3 perfects in a row. - Axis Awareness: Remember which axis (X or Z) the block is moving on. This affects how you judge alignment. - Size Management: Each cut makes your blocks smaller. The smaller they get, the harder alignment becomes. Use comebacks strategically. - Reaction Speed: Practice quick decision-making. Sometimes it's better to drop slightly imperfect than to wait and miss entirely. - Focus on the Center: Always aim for the center of the stack below. Even if not perfect, centering gives the most overlap. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES: - Prediction Method: Instead of watching the current position, predict where the block will be when you want to drop it. Account for reaction time. - Rhythm Timing: Develop a sense of rhythm with the block's movement. Some players find it easier to drop on consistent timing rather than visual cues. - Speed Adaptation: Learn to adjust your timing as speed increases. What works at slow speed won't work when blocks move faster. - Comeback Timing: Don't waste comebacks on blocks that are already a good size. Save them for when blocks have become dangerously small. - Visual Depth: Use the 3D perspective to better judge alignment. The camera angle can help you see overlap more clearly. - Momentum Reading: Understand how blocks bounce at boundaries. Sometimes dropping right after a bounce gives you more time to judge. - Precision Practice: The perfect placement window is very small (0.05 units). Practice achieving perfects consistently to build your streak. - Risk Management: When your block is very small, sometimes it's better to aim for a guaranteed small placement rather than risk a complete miss going for perfect. WINNING AND SCORING: - Score System: Each successfully placed block adds 1 point, regardless of whether it was perfect or cut. - High Score: Your highest score is saved in browser storage. Try to beat your personal best. - Tower Height: Build your tower as high as possible. Higher towers mean longer gameplay and more points. - Perfect Streaks: While not directly scored, achieving perfect streaks enables comebacks that can significantly extend your game. - Personal Challenge: See how many blocks you can stack before making a fatal mistake. Higher scores require consistent precision. Enjoy the precision challenge of Precision Stack, and see how high you can build your tower!
