Coffee Stack 3D is a fun hyper-casual runner game built in Unity where players collect cups, fill them with fresh coffee, add upgrades like lids and sleeves, and deliver the perfect stack to earn money. The goal is simple: build the biggest, cleanest coffee stack while avoiding obstacles that can spill, break, or reduce your cups.
With smooth swipe controls, satisfying stacking mechanics, and a clear progression loop, this project is ideal for developers who want to publish a hyper-casual coffee runner on Android or iOS or reskin it into a juice, smoothie, boba, or dessert stacking game.
Game Overview
In Coffee Stack 3D, the player starts with a single empty cup and swipes left or right to collect more cups along the runway. As the stack grows, players pass through coffee dispensers to fill each cup, then upgrade the stack with items like lids and sleeves to increase value.
Along the way, hazards such as spikes, burners, gaps, and moving obstacles can reduce the stack. The player must balance risk and reward, keep cups safe, and reach the finish line with the highest-value stack for maximum earnings.
