Build It, Yeet It, Break Everything: Hack ’n’ Stack Crashes into Gamescom 2025
Tower defense meets party game chaos in this physics-fueled brawlfest of block-stacking mayhem
Montréal, August 12, 2025 — Indie publisher Dodo Tako is ready to unleash Hack ’n’ Stack, the wildest party game this side of the couch. Coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch in Q2 2026, this chaotic co-op game will debut its first public hands-on at Gamescom 2025, and spoiler alert: everything is a weapon — including your friends.

What is Hack ’n’ Stack?
It’s part tower defense, part slapstick sandbox, all physics-powered pandemonium. Designed for 2–4 players, Hack ’n’ Stack dares you to build, defend, and absolutely destroy enemies in local or online co-op.
Players harvest resources, stack blocks wherever they dang well please, and build outrageous fortresses — only to watch it all come crashing down in a hail of stunned enemies and flying teammates.
Whether you're tossing blocks, flinging friends, or luring enemies into your hand-made maze of turrets doom, Hack ’n’ Stack is a party game with strategy in its bones and chaos in its soul.
Build barricades.
Try to protect them
Blame your friends if you fail.
Key Features:
Physics-Based Mayhem: Every block matters. Every throw counts. Every enemy, or player, is a potential projectile.
Creative Carnage: Build anything, anywhere — or weaponize the world around you.
Dress to Distress: Over 28 unlockable character accessories — because if you're gonna die in battle, look good doing it.
Couch or Cloud: Local and online multiplayer, sabotage optional but highly encouraged.
First Look at Gamescom 2025 – Bring a Helmet
From August 22–25, players and press can go hands-on with Hack ’n’ Stack at Hall 10.2 F-011L. Dodo Tako’s devs will be there, demoing the game and watching barricades fall in spectacularly stupid ways from 10:00am to 6:00pm CEST. Expect laughs. Expect chaos. Expect physics bugs (the good kind).
