How to play TappyTop

Tap to drop. Land it clean. Do not miss.

To play TappyTop, tap the screen to drop the sliding block onto the tower. A perfect drop keeps the block full size, an off-center drop gets its overhang sliced off, and a complete miss ends the run. Stack as many blocks as you can.

How do you play a stacking game like TappyTop?

You play with one finger. Follow these steps.

  1. Start a run Open TappyTop and choose Play for Endless mode, or Stages to pick a stage.
  2. Watch the block A block slides back and forth above the tower.
  3. Tap to drop Tap the screen when the block is over the tower. The block drops onto it.
  4. Aim for a perfect If the block lands almost exactly on the block below, it is a perfect. It snaps into place and keeps its full size.
  5. Accept the slice If the block lands off center, the part hanging over the edge is sliced off. Your next block is that smaller size.
  6. Follow the direction change Blocks alternate direction. One slides left and right, the next slides front to back.
  7. Build a perfect streak Every 5 perfect drops in a row, the block grows wider again, up to the starting size.
  8. Keep going as it speeds up The block moves faster as the tower gets taller. Keep stacking until you miss the tower completely.

What is a perfect drop?

A perfect drop is when the block lands almost exactly on top of the block below. The game snaps it into place, so nothing is sliced off and the block keeps its full size. Perfect drops are the key to a tall tower, because your block never gets smaller.

What happens when a block is sliced?

When a block lands partly off the tower, the part hanging over the edge is sliced off. Only the part that landed on the tower stays. The next block that slides in is the same smaller size, so every slice makes the next drop harder.

How do perfect streaks work?

Every 5 perfect drops in a row, the block grows wider again. This is how you win back size after a slice. The block never grows bigger than the size you started with.

When does a run end?

A run ends when you miss the tower completely, so that no part of the block lands on it. After a miss you can watch a video ad to continue. You can do this once per run.

How is the score counted?

In Endless mode, your score is the number of blocks you have stacked. A new world appears every 20 blocks: Morning Clouds, Sunset, Night City, then Space. After Space the worlds loop.

In Stages mode, each of the 60 stages has a target height, from 10 up to 40 blocks. You earn stars for accuracy, which is the share of your drops that were perfect.
