REVIEW
Beaver Stack is a coffee-break stacker for the LG remote.
Omshy's free casual stacker drops onto LG webOS as a no-fuss pick-up game — light, free, and exactly as deep as a TV-app stacker should be.

Beaver Stack is the kind of app that justifies the existence of the LG Content Store’s games tab. It is free, it boots in seconds, it plays on a single button of the Magic Remote, and it asks for nothing in return — no account, no subscription, no overlay ad before the title screen loads. In a category that more often ships as a wrapper for in-app-purchase prompts, that restraint is genuinely the point of the review.
The mechanic is the canonical stacker. A block slides across the screen, you press to drop it, and the overlap with the previous block sets the width of the next one. Clean drops grow the tower; sloppy drops trim it; eventually a block is too narrow to land on and the run ends. It is a 1980s arcade idea ported to a 2026 smart-TV remote, and the port is the interesting part — most mobile game shapes do not survive the trip to a TV remote, and stackers happen to be one of the very few that do.
What you should not expect is depth. There is no metagame visible from the store listing, no leaderboard, no progression hook beyond the run-to-run score. That is fine for what this is. It is a coffee-break filler on a platform that does not have enough coffee-break filler. Install it for a slow afternoon, leave it on the home row, and move on when the loop runs dry.
Beaver Stack is webOS filler done correctly — free, quick, and unambitious in the right ways.
FEATURES
Beaver Stack is a casual tap-to-stack game from Omshy Inc., free on the LG Content Store. The core loop is the well-worn stacker mechanic — a block slides across the screen, you press to drop it, and the next block can only be as wide as the overlap from the previous drop. Miss the alignment and the overhang trims your tower; chain enough clean drops and the camera climbs.
Controls are single-button. Any confirm press on the LG Magic Remote drops the block, which is the correct call for a TV-app of this shape — no pointer hunting, no directional-pad nudging, no menu diving. Sessions are short by design and the game state resets cleanly on a missed stack.
There is no online component, no account, no in-app purchase prompt visible from the store metadata, and no apparent leaderboard. It is a single-player, single-screen, single-button game packaged for a TV remote.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The honest win is the install footprint. Beaver Stack does the one thing a free webOS casual game should do — boots fast, plays on a single remote button, asks nothing of the viewer, and gets out of the way. For a category that more commonly ships with aggressive ad walls and login gates, that restraint counts.
The tap-to-stack mechanic also happens to be one of the very few mobile-game shapes that translates cleanly to a TV remote. There is no twin-stick translation problem, no virtual-joystick fudge, no on-screen keyboard misery. One block, one button, one decision.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Replayability is the obvious ceiling. Without leaderboards, daily challenges, or unlockable block skins, the game gives a viewer maybe a week of casual returns before the loop is exhausted. A simple persistent high-score, surfaced on the title screen, would do most of the work.
Polish is also thin in places — the screenshots suggest a single environment and a single block style, where competing stackers on phone stores layer in biome shifts and visual rewards to extend the loop. Audio cues for the block-drop rhythm would help too; stacker games live and die on the click-clack of clean drops.
CONCLUSION
Install it for a slow Sunday, leave it on the home row for a week, and don't expect more than that. Beaver Stack is the right shape of free webOS casual — short sessions, no friction, one-button input — without the polish or progression hooks to keep a TV viewer coming back past the novelty. Worth the tap; not worth the search bar.
