Stack Swipe

Five plates of the same color stacked in a row don't just sit there in Stack Swipe - they blast, and that's the whole hook. You swipe a direction, every plate on the grid slides that way, and any matching colors pile up into one stack. Hit five or more in a stack and the blast fires off on its own.

The grid never stays static for long. Swipe up, down, left or right and the entire board shifts at once, so one move can set up three chain reactions if you read the colors right. Plates only stack when there's a matching color waiting in the direction you swipe, which turns every move into a small color-matching puzzle rather than a random shuffle.

When the grid runs low, tap Serve to drop fresh plates into the empty spaces - sometimes right on top of what's already there, which can wreck a stack you were building or hand you the exact match you needed. Each level has a target to clear, so you're always working the board toward something rather than swiping just to swipe.

It plays in portrait on desktop, Android or iOS, straight in the browser with no download. If you like matching puzzles that reward a bit of forward planning, it sits well alongside other Puzzle games and Color Matching Games on the site.

Clear each level's target by stacking five or more same-colored plates so they blast automatically.

Swipe in any direction to shift every plate on the grid that way. Plates only move into a stack if a matching color sits in the direction you swiped, so check the board before you commit. Tap Serve to spawn new plates into empty spaces when the grid gets thin.

Watch out: Serve sometimes drops a new plate right on top of an existing one, which can break up a stack you were building. Plan your swipe first, then serve.
