More about this game
In Cardboard Tower, your goal is to build the highest stack of boxes possible. A new box moves horizontally back and forth above your tower, and you must drop it at the exact right moment to land safely on the stack. As your tower grows, the boxes move faster, making timing much more difficult. If a box lands too far off-center, it loses balance, the tower falls, and your run ends. You can watch an ad to save your stack and keep going.
Tips
- Aim for perfect alignment. If you land within the perfect range, the box snaps exactly to the center and prevents the tower from wobbling.
- Watch the dashed vertical line extending below the moving box to help gauge exactly where it will land on the stack.
- The boxes move faster as your score increases, capping at a maximum speed of 350, so you must anticipate the movement earlier.
FAQ
- How do I get a perfect drop?
- Drop the box so it lands very close to the center of the box below it. The game will display 'PERFECTLY PACKED!' and the box will automatically snap to the exact center.
- Why did my tower start wobbling?
- If you drop a box off-center but still within the safe overlap limit, it lands successfully but causes the entire stack to sway back and forth before settling down.
- What happens if I miss the stack?
- If a box lands with too little overlap on the stack below, the game displays 'A little too far…', the box falls, and your current run ends immediately.
