The monetization of the game is generally viewed positively due to its low price of €0.3 and the absence of ads, making it an appealing option for players seeking a similar experience to Stack on PC. However, there are concerns regarding the developer, Cow Corp, which has been criticized for unethical practices, including the exploitation of others' work for profit.
“This game is a must-play if you want to enjoy a stack experience on PC without any ads for just €0.30.”
“It's like a copy of the Android store, but it's better because it offers 5,000 achievements and has no ads.”
“Cow Corp has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”

The graphics in this tower stack game are very simple, featuring a limited variety of building designs that primarily differ in color and appearance rather than functionality. Players can unlock different types of buildings as they progress, but they ultimately serve the same purpose in gameplay.
“The graphics in this game are vibrant and engaging, making each level visually appealing.”
“The art style is unique and adds a lot of character to the gameplay experience.”
“The different buildings you unlock have distinct graphics and colors, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the tower.”
“This is a tower stack game with very simple graphics.”
“Don't be puzzled in reading the game store description - you will actually be able, upon reaching some 'floors', to unlock different kinds of buildings, but they will all function in the same way - you'll basically be building the same tower, with different graphics and colors.”
