Stack Sorting is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Stack Sorting is a game you can play in the gaps of the day. Each level is self-contained, the rules are consistent, and progress is saved in your head as much as on screen. A few things the tags reveal: success depends on precision and timing rather than luck; the structure is classic arcade — quick rounds, rising difficulty and a score to beat.

Tips and tricks
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Bubble Shooter game, use the walls to bank shots into groups you cannot reach directly.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
