Stacking is an adventure puzzle game by Double Fine and takes place in a 1920's inspired world. That happens to be populated entirely by Russian matryoshka dolls. The game has you taking on the role of young chimney sweep Charlie Blackmore as he attempts to rescue his family from the clutches of an evil industrialist, The Baron, forcing them to work against their will. Charlie's tiny size proves very helpful in that it allows him to inhabit the body of any stacking doll bigger than himself and use that new form's skills to aid him in his quest.As long as his target is larger (and not facing him) the youngster can stack several dolls upon each other, however only the skills of the outside doll can be utilised. This means Charlie has to unstack and stack accordingly in order to use the desired skill to overcome the games obstacles. The games puzzles have several means of being solved and as such rewards using different methods.The lead director of this game is Lee Petty, the lead Art Director of Brütal Legend. He was inspired by watching his daughter playing with real matryoshka dolls and decided to make a game around it. Like Costume Quest, Tim Schafer took a back seat to allow Lee Petty to lead the project.It was released February 9th 2011 for Xbox Live and PSN, where PSN Plus subscribers got the game for free. And March 6th 2012 for Steam. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Stacking (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Meriwether Malodor initially seems like a character whose interminable flatulence is played for laughs, but when his gas is combined with an open flame later on, he produces explosive results multiple times. Hans Allendorf might also count. He initially possess the most useless ability in the game, but each subsequent level provides him with an ability that can solve one of the puzzles there. In The Lost Hobo King DLC, he's a hidden character possessing the single most destructive ability, which doubles as the easiest, albeit not necessarily most obvious, solution to a particular puzzle. | |

Plot Hole: A particularly blatant one occurs when the rest of the Blackmore family rescues the father. In order to get to him, each Blackmore has to use their unique ability before necessarily being left behind in order to permit the smaller members to progress. In the end, the smallest doll Charlie finds his father and inexplicably brings the rest of the family to him despite them all being stuck behind impassible gates just seconds before! | |

| Stacking (Video Game) / int_c326149a | comment |
Hobos: Levi and his pals. The DLC concerns an entire city of hobos, which is ironic as part of the defining nature of hobos is that they have no permanent residence. | |

Final-Exam Boss: The Baron, to a certain extent. While you won't have to use every ability seen up to that point, you're certainly expected to remember the capabilities of quite a few unique characters to whittle him down to size. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Stacking (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One achievement is called A Mass Effect. A child with a hammer has the "Hammer Time" ability. One of the zipline runner's lines before transporting you between zeppelins is "I'll zip it. Zip it good." The map on the rug in front of the club is Middle-Earth. Levi, after pulling a Big Damn Heroes moment, remarks, "You're all clear, kid." The Corporate Spy doll looks eerily similar to the government agents from the Milkman Conspiracy level of Psychonauts. It's almost as if the games are made by the same studio. | |

Large and in Charge | |
| Stacking (Video Game) / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: Invoked Trope, according to Tim Schafer. Larger dolls tend to have more authority and status, while smaller dolls are insignificant in both physical size and social status, fitting in with Social Classes being a recurring theme of the game. The Big Bad is the largest, wealthiest, evilest doll. And of course, the hero is the smallest doll. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Stacking (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: The piano-playing doll set has a performance that must be seen to be believed. Each doll has their own piano, in which the next smallest doll stands on to play their smaller piano. This happens recursively for six dolls. They ALL play at the same time, with different tracks from the game soundtrack all playing at the same time. | |

Toilet Humor: Meriwether Molodor's Flatulate ability, and Hans' Go Potty ability. Felicity Fowler has the Pass Potpourri ability, where she lets out a rather pleasant waft. If you possess a Kodiak Bear (or Peck the Clown), you can use the Growl ability to scare others. They run away and drop sawdust. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Stacking (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: Loads and loads. Some of it is required for Hi-jinx awards. Beat people up. Set them on fire. Terrify them with horrible roars or make them faint. Many, many dolls allow you to do terrible things to other dolls. Stick buckets on their heads for no reason. Hug them without warning or consent! Freak them out by sniffing their butts. Fart on the elderly, or just anyone you like. Go steward-hunting. One of the most hilariously heinous things one can do in The Lost Hobo King DLC, which is also a challenge solution, is to trap children in cages, then use them as live bait to distract zombies. (They don't come to physical harm, though.) | |
