    Build, Bash & Brawl — Hack ‘n’ Stack Launches Today on Steam & Switch!

    Forget playing nice. Hack ‘n’ Stack, the gleefully chaotic new physics-powered party game from Quebec-based independent studio Triple Boris and publishing label Dodo Tako, is out today on Steam (PC/Mac) and Nintendo Switch, priced $19.99 USD. Gather your friends, grab whatever isn’t nailed down, and defend your base — by any means necessary.


    What Is Hack ‘n’ Stack?

    It’s tower defence — but everything is physics, everything is stackable, and almost everything can be used as a weapon. Up to four players team up (or turn on each other) to scavenge materials, slap together barricades and turrets, and hold back waves of invaders determined to flatten your fort.

    • Build from anything — wood, stone, scrap, even cake. If you can lift it, you can stack it
    • Physics-powered mayhem — towers wobble, walls collapse, and well-placed blocks can crush enemies outright
    • Co-op for up to 4 — local split-screen or online play; share resources, split the work, and watch whose defences fall first
    • Chaos is a feature — friendly fire is real, misfiring turrets happen, and your best-laid plans will frequently collapse spectacularly

    How It Plays

    PhaseWhat You Do
    Scavenge — Gather blocks and materials across the mapGrab anything that looks useful. Drag it, haul it, hurl it
    Build — Stack walls, craft turrets, shore up defencesTaller isn’t always stronger — physics rules all
    Defend — Fend off incoming waves togetherOperate turrets, repair breaches, bash enemies with leftover blocks
    Repeat — Survive, improve, survive longerEach wave brings bigger threats and better loot

    Why It Stands Out

    Most co-op games ask you to play nice. Hack ‘n’ Stack doesn’t mind if you play practical. Need to block a gap? Stack a wall. Need more firepower? Build a turret. Need to stop an enemy right now? Heave a boulder at their head. The physics system turns every match into a comedy of errors and comebacks — and that’s exactly the point.

    Triple Boris, the indie studio behind it all, has been crafting fun, approachable multiplayer experiences for years. With Hack ‘n’ Stack, they’ve fused tower defence strategy with the pure, unscripted joy of stacking things until they fall over — and it’s out today.


    Grab your friends. Start stacking. Try not to knock your own defences down.

    Get Ready to Stack, Hack, and Lose Your Mind: Hack ’n’ Stack Hits Steam Next Fest This June!

    If you’ve been looking for the next chaotic party game to test the absolute limits of your friendships, look no further. The folks over at indie studio Dodo Tako have officially announced that their upcoming multiplayer frenzy, Hack ’n’ Stack, is sliding into Steam Next Fest from June 15 to 22, 2026—and they’re bringing a massive free demo along for the ride.

    Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of couch co-op disasters or just looking for something fresh to scream at your screen with, this demo is packing some serious heat.

    What’s on the Menu?

    Unlike some bite-sized previews that leave you hanging after five minutes, Dodo Tako is serving up a full meal. Here is exactly what you can expect when you download the demo:

    • Four Playable Levels: Jump straight into the action with four distinct, beautifully chaotic stages designed to test your coordination (and your patience).
    • A Complete Tutorial: Because let’s face it, you’ll need to learn the ropes before you start accidentally throwing your teammates off the map.
    • Online & Local Co-Op: Want to yell at your friends on the couch? Perfect. Want to yell at them from across the globe? You got it.
    • Over an Hour of Content: This isn’t just a quick teaser—there is easily over 60 minutes of gameplay here to sink your teeth into.

    Why You Should Care

    Steam Next Fest is always a goldmine for hidden gems, but Hack ’n’ Stack is shaping up to be a standout crowd-pleaser for the summer. It combines the fast-paced, high-stakes communication of games like Overcooked! with its own unique physics-based puzzle mechanics. It’s colourful, it’s frantic, and it’s the exact kind of digital mayhem TechMash readers live for.

    Mark your calendars for June 15, rally your crew, and get ready to stack your way to victory (or utter failure).

    The Details:

    • Event: Steam Next Fest
    • Dates: June 15 – June 22, 2026
    • Platform: PC (Steam)
    • Price: Free Demo
