How does your game fit the theme?
Bricked Up is about reaching the sky with your own Babel tower while playing around with the scale of objects and the building itself – and also defeating waves of enemies. Other than that, "scaling" can also be used as a synonym for climbing, which is basically what your enemie will do in the game!

Excellent polish-i found the tower was a little too sensitive to movement.
Thanks :) We'll definitely play around with the parameteres once the rating period is over!
I love the continued introduction of new ideas and variety in the gameplay over time thanks to different enemies and bricks - building progression into a game jam game is awesome. My favorite part of this game was dropping bricks on enemies - not only because it added multiple purposes to the bricks beyond defense (just like the canon bricks) but also because it made me be more active as a player. It was a nice touch that it seemed like dropping heavier bricks and/or bricks from higher did more damage; and how that also damaged the bricks themselves. Nicely done!
Amazing Itch Pages, one of the best i've seen so far! The game idea is cool and very fun to play, yet a bit unbalanced.
Loved the theming and visuals! Very creative ideas all round, this must've been fun to work on. Would've loved to see a bit more balance in the waves so that the mechanics could really shine.
Like I almost can't believe that such a polish game you managed in 4 days. It's incredible the amount of mechanics and variations that are in the game and even different systems, animations and graphics. The only thing that takes away from the beauty of the whole thing is the balance. The game offers an awful lot but the player can only get by with the cannons. It's a shame because combining all the different blocks and building a fortress would definitely be mega fun. To this I would like to add just a small idea. It would be nice if the blocks could be rotated somehow, not just by placing them so that they rotate. It could be on the right button and rotate slowly to the right. I think it would add more control to the game.
Thank you for the wonderful comment!! We tried to balance it as well as we could before the end, then basically ran out of time. Comments like yours are incredibly helpful in that regard! Also the rotate while not dragging thing is a really neat idea 👍
One last thing: did right click to rotate not work for you, actually? Normally if you right click while dragging a brick it should rotate 90°.
Have you ever asked yourself, what if there was a game that merged Bloons Tower Defense 5 and Bloons Tower Defense 6? Well, the answer will surely make you Bricked Up
I like the biblical theming, and crushing enemies with bricks is fun. The waves are a little slow though (at least in the parts I played) and a lot of the time there's just no enemies on screen. "Bricked up" is such a great title btw.
The most interesting idea based on the theme so far!
Such a cool game and concept also the game page is epic
✨Fantastic✨
Impressive scale of work done in such a short time! Can't believe you have a story mode AND an arcade mode. Really neat take on the theme, great work!
This was a lot of fun and seemed pretty polished.
