Clonk Stack tips

General habits that work on any day. Nothing here describes a particular day's tower.

Play Clonk Stack

Chain your Clonks

A plain landing is worth 10. The fourth Clonk in a row, and every one after it, is worth 110. One long combo outscores a lot of safe drops.

A slice beats a miss

If you are not sure of a Clonk, take the slice. A miss costs a life and resets the combo. A slice only costs width.

Use the regrowth

From the third Clonk in a row each block grows back a little. A good chain repairs a tower that has been sliced thin.

Mind the sliver

A block that overlaps by only a few pixels does not hold and counts as a miss. When the top is narrow, slow down and aim.

Watch the pace

Blocks speed up as the tower climbs, and each one varies a little. The clock is only 60 seconds, so do not wait through many passes for a perfect line.

Practise first

Practice runs do not count, and R restarts them instantly. Use one to get a feel for the drop before your daily run.
