Ball Stacks

Your tower of balls is wobbling. So is theirs. Only one of you gets to be the tallest.

Ball Stacks is a local-multiplayer physics party game for 2–4 players, made in 48 hours for a game jam themed "Height" — so naturally, the whole game is about desperately clinging to yours.

How it works

• Stack — roll into balls to add them to your tower. Taller is better. Taller is also wobblier.
• Balance — your stack is fully physics-driven. Every ball you add makes it harder to keep standing.
• Sabotage — bumping into your rivals' stacks is not just allowed, it's the strategy.
• Survive — if your stack topples, you rebuild from scratch. When the timer runs out, the tallest tower wins.

Controls

🎮 Controller only — and here's the twist: two players share one gamepad. One player gets the left half, the other gets the right. 4 players = 2 controllers = maximum elbow warfare.

• Left-side player: move with the left stick, jump with anything else on your half (d-pad, LB/L1, LT/L2).
• Right-side player: move with the right stick, jump with anything else on your half (face buttons, RB/R1, RT/R2).
• Works with both Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Press any button to start.

Good to know

• Local multiplayer only — grab 1–3 friends and share a screen (and a controller).
• One arena, one mode, pure chaos. Every round plays out differently.
• Intentionally wobbly. The disasters are the point.
