Box Stacker

A Very Serious Game About the Noble Art of Putting Boxes On Top of Other Boxes

Made solo in 7 days for the Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam 2026.
Theme: "spin to win."

---

A roulette wheel decides your fate. You do not choose the piece — the wheel chooses for you. Spin it, dangle the box from the crane, and drop it onto the tower, some boxes need a little spin to slot in just right. Fill the height line, and the floor consolidates into one perfect slab as the camera climbs higher. Keep going until a piece tumbles off the base.

How high can you stack before it all comes crashing down?

How to Play

Listen closely, aspiring architect. Box-stacking is a deeply serious art form — a discipline of patience, precision, and poise. People train years for this. Champions are forged. Reputations are made and lost on a single crooked slab. This is not a game you simply play. This is a craft you commit to.

So sit up straight, steady your hand, and stack like the world is watching. (It is. Probably.)

Disclaimer: it is, in fact, a game about dropping boxes. But you may absolutely play it with the grave intensity of an Olympic event. Me, myself and I encourage it.

Controls

Action	Key
Spin the piece / steer the wheel	← / → Arrow Keys
Drop the piece / stop the wheel	Space
Trade a combo level for an extra life	Enter
Pause	P or Esc

The wheel picks the piece. The crane holds it swinging. You pick the moment. Master the swing, time the drop, and let the slabs stack clean.

Features

• A roulette wheel that decides every piece — embrace the chaos, you are not in control (and that's the point)
• Six distinct Tetris-flavored pieces, each with its own swing and stubbornness
• Floor consolidation — fill the line and watch your messy stack snap into one flawless slab
• Combos & shields — or cash a combo level in for an extra life when the tower gets shaky: fewer points, more room to fail
• A satisfying clunk on every clean landing
• An end-of-run stats screen to honor (or mourn) your tower
