Did you know that paper bats need lightbulbs for their cinema?

The levels in Pile Up are lovingly handcrafted and they look like it! The cute papercraft style has already won over countless players. Each level with its own theme and goal to complete: Get the cinema running, rescue frog-babies, or find the costumes for the kiwi musical. New mechanics are added in each level, too, so the proceedings never get boring or too repetitive.

Leave no box behind!

You can play alone, but the game is meant to be played with friends and family! Friends can instantly hop on a game and the difficulty will adapt instantly and accordingly. Although you might experience a lot of laughing and giggling from your side and some nudges and screaming from your friend’s side as you playingly undermine their delicate plans to finally get that pesky roll of scotch tape from the top of the cardboard tree.

Pile Up! Box by Box

The game is refreshingly free of violence and includes no real danger. Thus, it can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. No violence does not equal no action — it’s all about having fun and fooling around with the papercraft environment and, of course, with your fellow Boxlings.
