How does the game fit the theme?
Stacking bricks seems simple—but as the tower grows, instability creeps in. The slightest imbalance can send everything tumbling down, and if you take too long, bricks break, adding to the chaos. It’s a game where everything seems under control… until it isn’t.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I did not make the assets for the bricks, those are from Kenney. And, the music is from pixabay.

These cozy-yet-kinda-stressful games hit really hard for some reason. Good work!
It was a really fun game! I think it perfectly fits the theme. It is like a cozy game but where you need to be fast and alert to build the tower
Such a brilliant concept, and well executed! I can totally see you developing more interesting "gotchas" as the game progresses like odd shaped tiles / wind etc.
Amazing job! Its super polished and the pressure is real thanks to the tight time limit
this kinda took me back to those old nokia games where you had to stack floors to create the highest skyscraper
i loved the aesthetic and the idea, it was a fun little game and i'm sure it could do super well as a chill game to pass time while taking the bus/train
Cool game! Only problem I noticed was that you could essentially just build an infinitely tall tower by placing blocks directly on top of each other on a common axis, as it would never tip over. Apart from that it was fun!
Thank you for playing my game!
That is correct - you can cheat ;-) I will make an update in the future which fixes this. I have some plans for the game, like, mobile support, multiplayer, difficulties and better sound effects. And, to "fix" what you discovered I will add something that forces you to be creative with your building :)
Nice, sounds exciting!
Very fun, I like the idea and execution! The 3 second timer is tight enough to force mistakes. My only complaint is the repetitive music, please add an option to mute or adjust the sound. Excellent job!
Thank you so much!
Yeah, time got a bit tight at the end, so the music/sfx took a hit. I will adjust in a future update
cool idea!
Fun game and novel idea!
Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it.
Block stacking is pretty fun :)
Thanks!
Cool game! It is addicting and relaxing at the same time :D
Thank you so much!
The idea was to create a somewhat simple, but addicting, game :D
Okay, first thing, as an artist and a person with light eyes, i give you the feedback of changing the color of the text in the menu. Green on blue background is really hard to read. Just a small feedback, tho. I really liked the game! Everything is working pretty well! And i love blocky games haha. Nice work!
Thank you so much for playing my game!
I think that is fair feedback - green is not the best color on blue. I just wanted to use the colors of the bricks, haha. I will find some better colors for a future version.
Glad you liked the game!
You can try yellow. It stand out in the blue, but be careful with yellow to haha. Or the old and good white or even black
Yeah the yellow feels OK, but maybe black or white is fine :D
If a 7 year old me saw this, he'd play it endlessly :)
Very neat concept, I had some troubles with controls, but after a bit of practicing a set a personal record of 159.9 meters or ~59 bricks, can't go higher ;)
Tysm!
Yeah, the controls might be a bit rough. Maybe I should try and change the controls a bit. Maybe even let it be keyboard controlled?
Gj on the record 👏🏻
Btw, when you write "can't go higher" is that because the game won't let you, or you were beat by the game? ;-)
I mean my tower collapsed, no bugs in the game :)
Ah, alright! Thanks!
Enjoyable game, the timer is fair, the controls work nicely and the game looks polished. I struggled to understand how the points work as I kept stacking higher in the center and got negative points. Perhaps something to do with the colors? I couldn't figure it out in my second try either. But great prototype regardless :)
Ty for taking the time to play my game!
Interesting - that sounds like a bug! The points are based on the highest placed brick - overall during a run. If you want to, and have the time, I'd love if you could try again, and let me know if you still only get negative points. Ty!
Cool game! It's a nice challenge and overall fun to play. Great game mate!
Thank you!
Really fun game! At first, I thought I was unstoppable, but even my tower started to wobble at some point. Well done! 🎉
Thank you so much!
It's really hard to balance how much the tower should wobble etc.. I think I might add some more mechanics which makes the game easier/harder and are random. I am open to ideas!
Thank you for taking the time to play my game.
Stacking blocks was a rush. The timer was definitely a challenge. Once I got the hang of the controls, it was easier. Great entry!
Thank you for playing! The timer is a challenge, yes - and it might be better to start off on a longer timer - actually working on adding difficulties already
Visuals, gameplay, and music are spot on! Nicely done!
Tyvm!
Good idea. It was a bit tricky to play in the beginning but you get used to it easily.
Thank you for taking your time to play my game!
I am glad that you got used to the controls pretty quickly. It was a worry of mine, but I didn't have the time to make a proper tutorial.
It's really fun! Great work!
Thank you so much!
