Games / Stow
A falling-block puzzle set in a loading bay. Seven pallet shapes arrive in a shuffled bag, so you never get a long drought of the one you are waiting for.
The outline shows where a pallet will land if you stop steering, and turning against a wall nudges you clear rather than refusing. Four rows at once is worth far more than four rows one at a time.
What is in it
A fair bag
Shapes come in shuffled sets of seven, not at random.
Landing guide
You can always see where the pallet will end up.
Wall kicks
Turning in a tight space nudges you clear instead of failing.
Shifts
Every ten bays shipped, the chute speeds up.
Controls
Mouse and touch work the way you would expect. It can also be played entirely with a keyboard, or with a controller on a television.
