Pic Tower is an iPhone game that uses AI to detect and cut out objects from your photos, then turns them into pieces for a casual stacking game. Create games from everyday photos, play with funny shapes, and share the same photo game with friends using a photo and game code.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I’m Shoji, an independent iPhone app developer from Japan.
I built Pic Tower because I wanted to make a game where the player’s own photos become the game itself.
Pic Tower uses AI-powered image recognition to detect and cut out objects from a photo, then turns them into pieces for a casual stacking game. A family photo, a pet photo, food, toys, or random things on your desk can all become playable objects.
The part I’m most excited about is sharing:
you can share the same photo game with friends using the photo and a game code, so everyone can play with the same image.
I’d love to hear what kinds of photos you would try first, and any feedback on the idea, onboarding, or gameplay.
Thank you for checking it out!
I just uploaded a short 15-second concept video for Pic Tower.
I wanted to make the core idea easier to understand without focusing too much on the cutout technology.
Pic Tower is not a background-removal app.
It is a photo-based stacking game.
Your own photo becomes the game.
Objects from the photo become playable pieces.
And the same photo game can be shared with friends.
Same photo.
Same game.
Different players.
I hope the video makes the experience clearer:
personal photos are not just something to look at or share — they can become something to play with.
how well does the AI handle messy backgrounds or overlapping objects when cutting out shapes, and is the detection speed fast enough for casual play?
This sounds genuinely fun, especially the part about sharing a game with friends using a code. One thing I'd love to see is a way to save or revisit puzzles I've already played, maybe with a leaderboard showing my best stacking scores. Right now it feels like once you finish a game it might just be gone, and having some history would make me want to keep coming back.
The photo-to-pieces AI cutout is genuinely clever, and I love that you can hand a friend a code to play the exact same puzzle from your own snap. Cute, tight loop.
Snapping a pic of my coffee mug and watching it turn into a playable piece still feels kind of magical. The photo sharing code idea is clever too.
Cut a photo of my cat into pieces and the AI actually got the shape right, then I made my roommate try to stack her. Such a weirdly fun loop.
One more thing I want to highlight:
Pic Tower is built around sharing.
When you create a game from a photo, you can share that same photo game with a specific person through messaging apps, or post it publicly on social media so others can play it too.
Same photo.
Same game.
Different players.
That means a pet photo, a family photo, food, toys, or random objects on your desk can become a shared stacking challenge.
Pic Tower is not just “my photo becomes a game.”
It is also “we can play the same photo game together.”
Just to clarify the core idea of Pic Tower:
This is not a background-removal app.
It is a photo-based stacking game.
The AI cutout is only the starting point. The real fun is seeing familiar things from your own photo turn into weird, funny, playable physics pieces.
Every photo creates a different stacking challenge.
A pet photo, a family photo, food, toys, or random things on your desk can all become a game.
Sometimes the pieces are clean.
Sometimes they are strange.
But that unpredictability is part of the fun.
Pic Tower is about turning your own photos into shareable games — not making perfect cutouts.
how well does the ai actually handle messy backgrounds or weird lighting, like can it cut out my cat from a cluttered room without ending up with a jagged mess around the fur?
Does the AI actually work well on tricky backgrounds like hair or busy scenes, or is it more of a rough cut that needs cleanup?
