About

"Stacks TNT is a block-based sandbox game with explosive jelly physics, where you play as Chuck, stranded in a desolate world.

But be careful, as your constructions can collapse if not built wisely!"

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are visually appealing, but it has strict system requirements that limit compatibility, particularly with integrated graphics cards and certain Intel models. Players are advised to ensure their systems meet the necessary specifications to avoid issues, as the game may not function properly on unsupported hardware.

    • “The game itself is pretty nice, I guess, if you have a computer that is able to run it. It does not work with most Intel and some other graphics cards, as it kicks you back to the main menu if you try. My computer initially tried to run it with my integrated Intel graphics, so I had to set my computer to use my NVIDIA card instead via some settings in Windows/NVIDIA Control Panel.”
    • “Check the system requirements if you plan on getting it, as it requires an appropriate graphics card to run the physics.”
    • “The game itself is pretty nice, I guess, if you have a computer that is able to run it. It does not work with most Intel and some other graphics cards; it kicks you back to the main menu if you try. My computer tried to run it with my integrated Intel graphics at first, so I had to set my computer to use my NVIDIA card instead via some settings in Windows/NVIDIA Control Panel.”
    • “There's no reason for this game not to run on integrated graphics cards.”
    • “Most graphics cards are not compatible.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for being laggy and lacking clarity, with a muddled loop that detracts from the overall experience. While it features a voxel physics engine, the execution feels more like a tech demo than a cohesive game, resulting in a lack of identity.

    • “Bottom line, this is a bit beyond the tech demo concept as it has some thought around a full gameplay experience.”
    • “Terrible laggy gameplay.”
    • “There is a voxel physics engine, but the gameplay around it is muddled.”
    • “I just think it is a very muddled gameplay loop which causes it to lack an identity.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have criticized the game's music for being excessively loud and repetitive, particularly at the main menu, with many requesting a volume slider for better control. The overwhelming audio experience detracts from the initial enjoyment of the game.

    • “The main menu music is out of control; I would love a slider to adjust it.”
    • “On launching the application (system volume 3%), you're greeted with blaring repetitive music.”
    • “That main menu music is out of control, so please give me a slider.”
    • “Open settings, adjust music.”
