Whilst you’re twiddling your thumbs waiting for me to work out ways of stapling my child to the ceiling for a bit of peace and quiet so that I can code, why not take a meander over to Bag Full Of Wrong where we’ve finally put out TCK’s excellent Anti-Casual tile matching game - Stack Attack.

Taking the casual gaming staple of the tile matching genre and turning it into a 1960’s styled minimalist nightmare, Stack Attack subverts the genre nicely.

Whereas most tile matching games lead you by the hand into the zone, Stack Attack does its level best to unnerve you - the constant ticking as the bricks appear, the moog-esque synths that bend and warp as you click and the stark graphics that dispense with all the frivolities and niceties that the portals so adore. Intense and punishing, Stack Attack is not for the faint of heart.

It’ll drive you insane. I’d like to say in the nicest possible way, but thats not entirely true.

Look forward to seeing you all on the score board.

    Oh sure, you want to try and pretend it isn’t casual, but it is! IT IS AND IT’S EVIL! :)

    It’s quiet here. Are you still atacking your stack with vigour for the last few weeks?
