This is really cute. do you plan to continue working on this after the game jam? I would be interested in playing one that matches your vision.

Neat concept, love the whale building and personalization.

Love the concept. Flying whales is always a win in my book. The building felt very nice and I really liked the Tetris-y aspect of getting new blocks to build with so there's a bit of pre-planning you have to do. It's a shame you didn't get to implement the storm aspect as I'm really curious to see how that would have worked. Great job with what you got done, though!

Literally such a joy to see someone else play your game. Thank you for checking it out! We plan on doing a big update after the jam ends ^^

Cool building game

love the art

nice calming music

great snappy building mechanic

would love to see what this would look like in your planned iteration, does a storm knock the items off the whale?

one of my favorite fantasy motifs of all time is 'Sky Whales' always love a good sky whale!

Developer

I love the idea of the storm knocking away blocks! That isn't something we'd considered as we felt it'd be too destructive and annoying for the player. But maybe something along those lines ^^ We plan on doing a big update after the voting ends. Thanks for checking it out!

Very beautiful art!

Immediately cool title and concept.

Great execution on the simplicity of it all. Super intuitive!
Please update this after the jam so that there is a bit of animation in the background/ whale (clouds moving by etc.)

Developer

Thank you! We plan on adding a lot more post-jam and doing a big update so stay tuned!

So cozy and calm! Really nice art!

Nice art. Feels very good to keep building non-stop :)

Very beautiful! At first I thought I would get a game over or something if I ran out of usable pieces

Submitted(+1)

Very beautiful art! Hope you can bring your concept to life one day!

Really comfy! The art is AMAZING! I've never played a game like this, it was really nice. It reminds of those block mobile games where you need to place a block in the space available. At first i thought it was like a puzzle, but then i understood it was just to relax!

love the art and idea, would definitely love to see a finished version someday!

Enjoyable castle builder with adorable soft artwork. I played for a while and never encountered any bugs. Really nice job making something charming and lighthearted. Asset design and game play are easy and straight forward. Cute game <3

Submitted(+1)

I really like how you can just build infinitely and the camera adjusts for that. Also, the art is awesome (although a background would be great).

Cool concept, I would definitely be interested to see how it develops!

It's super pretty and relaxing, the soft pastels really fit well with the soothing violin music. With there was more

Submitted(+1)

The building mechanic in your game is very satisfying, it was fun to see how I could arrange the different blocks to create patterns out of the randomness. I wish there was more!

Submitted(+1)

Nice graphics and concept, I hope you manage to keep going on the project, I want to see the whale flying

Submitted(+1)

Really neat little sandbox / puzzle, relaxing atmosphere.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked this, such a good vibe. I wish I could alter and move the objects I already placed down(?). Amazing graphics!
