Instructions

Plumbline Pile

A site crane swings odd blocks over a wooden platform: bricks, crates, planks, tall pillars, feather-light foam and heavy ingots. Tap to drop, and keep the weight of the whole load over the block below, or it all comes down.

Play Plumbline Pile

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Space, Up or click drops the block.
  • P to pause.

  • Tap anywhere to drop the block.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

Balance is real statics (centre of mass over the contact patch), with a wobble when it is close. Three topples end the shift. Score is height plus perfect-landing streaks; the block sequence comes from a seed. Renamed from Wobble Works, which exists as an Android stacker.

Glossy buttons, physics toys and a loading bar that was always worth the wait.
