Stax

Stax is an arcade puzzle game with 100 colourful levels. You place coloured bricks next to matching bricks to make combinations and score points, while each wave sets a goal you must meet to advance. It is a spiritual successor to the 1989 arcade game Klax.

Match the bricks

A combination of three or more adjacent bricks of the same colour disappears from the basket. Multi-bricks have a one-in-twenty chance of spawning and let you combine different colours. Each wave has a goal to complete before you can progress.

Progress through the levels

The 100 levels progress in order, with difficulty increasing every few waves as more colours are added and the speed rises. Each level also gets faster the longer you spend on it. Secret skips are available on waves ending in 1 or 6: to use one, you must create a large combo shaped like a T, X or Y. Skipping ahead means giving up the extra points you could earn by playing easier levels and improving your high score.

Music and stages

The soundtrack features music from aardonyx and Arcade Haze, and the stages react dynamically.
