It was fun. The first five attempts were hard, then I got used to it and it was much more fun. Great job.

Developer

really glad you enjoyed!! thank you!!!

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun! It took me a minute to figure out how everything worked, but once I did I got really into it. There's a nice balance between trying to build quickly and trying to make sure nothing falls into the pit; led to a few close saves where I had to quickly build a support to catch a falling stack.

Developer

hell yeah :D glad you enjoyed!!!

great concept and execution

I thought i had to make an actual pathway for the deer to go up, but burrying him seemed to work better. :p My highscore was ~1400 points :)

Fun and simple game, good job!

Developer

so glad you enjoyed!

Cool goal burying game!

I don't quite get what the deer(?) was doing exactly, but I had a good time stacking blocks nonetheless.  I couldn't find any use for the slanted blocks.  Nice work!

Developer

the deer was (attempting xD) to scale your tower! as far as the triangles go, yep! they're meant to be challenge pieces, but if u put 2 of em together like a square they arent half bad! thank you for playing!!

Developer

The goat is meant to jump on top of the highest settled block, but I wasn't able to get the behavior working before the time limit. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+1)

Cool (haha get it) game! Also I broke it, after I started spamming my way through (and failling terribly), I sometimes stardet mith music like I'm running out of time, after a few more tries my goat always on start teleported above the finish line with its head where timer spawns, and my bar is always empty now too. But it didn't made my expirience worse.

woah ive never heard of these bugs!! im glad you enjoyed :333

shifting the ui could help with understanding the mechanic! good job btw!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting mechanic, I found it a bit difficult to understand and play, in terms of UX and gameplay. But good job nonetheless!

I was told a story that when a donkey fell in a wall, people couldnt save it so tried to bury it in the wall. but the donkey took advantage of the dirt to climb out.

the gameplay is so fun! looks you can do anything in this game but in fact every move is a seperated way leading to victory of failure

Developer

so glad you enjoyed!! and thank you for sharing that story xD

this took a couple minutes to figure out, but once i did it was fun! it got stressful in a good way :] only main critique i have is the ui being a bit unclear on what to do, and some jank with using both mouse buttons. y'all did great!! :3

The visual and music is nice. The gameplay is a bit hard.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted(+2)

The game seemed a bit wonky dimensions-wise in Chrome, but the art and music were really pleasant despite that. I think it might have also been helpful for the UI up top to be a little clearer. Great work on this overall!

Developer(+1)

tysm jules 💖 yeah in the future hopefully ill understand better how godot games in web work, and account for that from the start lol xD

Submitted(+1)

Of course, seeing you grow has a developer has been so inspiring! Excited to see where you go in the future :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much!! I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Submitted(+1)

sIMILAR TO MY GAME BUT GOOD

Submitted(+1)

very difficult! but super fun, good mechanics and good vibes!! nice job

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, a bit too hard for me :)

Submitted(+1)

Very challenging but quite fun. One suggestion: I couldn't figure out the UI at the first glance. Maybe a little bit of visual clue of the two bottom squares (e.g. left and right click icons from kenny) would help.

Developer

OMG i did mean to add those but completely forgot in the end lmao 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for next time.
