KickStack io is a team multiplayer action game where crates decide what gear your squad gets. Grab them around the field, carry them home, build a shape and crack the stack open.

How to play

Crates keep dropping during the match. Your team pad holds up to eight, arranged in two 2x2 layers. The important bit is the shape. Two crates side by side give a medium weapon, while two stacked vertically bring a soldier into your squad. Three in an L shape give a bike. Fill the lower four spots and add two on top and you get a helicopter.

There is another trick in KickStack io: put a gold super crate anywhere in the stack and the reward gets upgraded. That L shape can turn into a technical, the helicopter setup becomes a gunship, and a full eight-crate stack gives a tank instead of a technical. So grabbing random loot fast is not always the best build. Sometimes one more crate changes the whole reward. Once geared up, defend your pad and push into the other team's base.

Tips

• Check the shape before opening the stack
• A gold super crate upgrades the whole reward
• Eight crates give a technical, or a tank with a super crate
