Editor review
Stack Melee pairs swarm combat with a power-up rotation. Eight power-up types refresh on a thirty-second cycle and the rotation is shared across all lobby players. The shared rotation creates a focal point on the map at regular intervals and rewards players who track the timer.
The combat model is single-attack with movement-based skill expression. Players who learn the movement timing win even without superior aim. The skill curve is real and the on-ramp is forgiving.
Played across multiple Galway Galway bus commutes. Each round runs three to five minutes and the save preserves your rank and unlocks.
The flaw is the lobby fill rate. At off-peak hours the lobby sits at half capacity for a long stretch before a round starts. A lower minimum-player count would help. Four stars.
