How to play
Tap anywhere on the screen or press space to drop the current sliding block. The block stops where it currently is; any portion that does not overlap the block beneath gets cut off. Perfect drops (full alignment) earn a small width bonus. Imperfect drops gradually narrow the tower until it becomes too thin to hit.

Editor review
Stack Tower is the single-mechanic mobile-arcade game taken to a logical end. A block slides horizontally across the screen, you tap to drop it, overhang gets cut off, the tower grows narrower with each miss. That's it. The whole game.
What makes Stack Tower work where lesser one-tap games fail is the perfect-drop streak system. Hitting full alignment on consecutive drops widens the block slightly, which functionally gives you back margin you'd otherwise lose. Now you have a real decision. Chase the streak for the width recovery, or break the streak intentionally because the slider is getting fast enough to make me nervous. Both are valid. I tend to mix.
Where I'd push back: the daily seeded tower mode is a nice idea but the leaderboard implementation is barely functional. I couldn't tell whether the scores were filtered for cheaters. Three-and-a-half stars. Solid stacking game with one good wrinkle and one half-built feature.
