That's the name of the game

Years ago I learned of a game on this site, similar to 2048, but you dropped the numbers from the top and balanced them in a stack. If they couldn't merge you get closer to the roof. Winning gave you access to other graphic sets for the game, including hand-drawn style of blocks. Unity based. I can't find it or remember the name.

It's not stack but stack reminds me of it visually. I seem to recall that 7's merged down to triangles or something and were a pain to balance.

It kind of sounds like Twenty, which I first heard about here.

Response by poster: I enjoy twenty but that’s not it. It’s a single column, similar to the game Stack, and the numbers fall, or are dropped, Tetris style onto the stack, they will collapse and chain and when they no longer can you continue towards your doom (the ceiling).

There's literally something called 2048-Tetris.

If that's not it, let me know and I'll send you a bill for the last 16 minutes of my day :)

ooof to slow for the edit: also http://mathris-tetris2048.weebly.com/ and I'm sure you're not talking about Threes but I'd be surprised if that wasn't scratching a similar brain itch for you.

Best answer: Ok, I managed to get into an old Apple ID and go through eight years of past purchases.
The game is Tallnum. Thanks anyhow!
