This a simple, fun stacking game with some confusing design elements. The idea is to pile junk items to make a tower as high as possible. There's a bit of a Tetris element, although the parts can't be rotated, and some of the physics elements seem unrealistic. As you stack, the screen scrolls from top to bottom giving the illusion that your tower is getting taller. The higher you go, the harder it gets. At one point, a bad guy (Mr. Hammer) tries to slow you down and make your tower collapse. Some junk elements take points away, while others help -- it's not always clear when the items help or hurt. But the underlying play pattern is fun, so you can spend time with this app and have fun, despite the confusion. The music gets repetitious. Content comes from "The Ogglies" characters, based on a children's book series and film published by Oetinger, by Erhard Dietl. Learn more at http://www.olchis.de . This is a largely ethical, paid app.
