Stacking the good stuff
This week saw the release of “Stacking”, available through PSN or Xbox Online. Stacking imagines a matchbox world entirely populated by Russian stacking dolls, staring Charlie Blackmore, the worlds smallest doll, on a quest to find his family, kidnapped by an evil Baron.
Blackmore can stack inside other dolls and gain their special abilities, dumping coal, fluctuating, seducing but to name a few! Using these abilities to bypass any obstacles, many of game's challenges have multiple solutions, encouraging you to experiment more than a little. Potentially each challenge has 3 ingenious solutions, which really developed the player’s interest in the game and characters.
Stacking is the second downloadable game that Double Fine and THQ teamed up for. The first was Costume Quest, a Halloween-themed adventure released in October. Their agreement was only supposed to last two games. Perhaps they'll continue to work together if both games' sales meet expectations.
The game has already achieved a lot of positive attention, and even after 30 minutes of game play it’s easy to see why. Give the demo a try. You’ll love it.
PSN or Xbox Live for $14.99 (1200 MS Points).
