How does your game fit the theme?
You use toy bricks to build towers, paths, bridges, etc in order to climb (scale) up the map in a way similar to Getting Over It, Jump King, Only Up, etc with voice lines that react to what you do and say pretenous things when you fall. It is much easier than those games though. You start from the bottom and scale your way up all the way to the far side of the moon.

BRICKS WILL CONQUER THE WORLD
The voice acting was quite a turn around! I love the visuals as well. I unfortunately couldn't figure out how to get past the second platform, but the collision is very rigid!
Nice work.
The voice acting is gold! I got soft-locked when I fell to the left of the pyramid. I think the brick placing would be easier if the camera is not moving too much when I'm trying to place them. Overall it's a solid funny Foddian game.
First game jam game I've played with voice acting! Great job on that! I like the concept of a "Getting Over It" style game, but having building materials to help build paths as you move upward. The blocks were a little finicky at times and sometimes I felt like I spent a lot of time walking back and forth to move blocks, but all in all a very cool concept!
I absolutely loved the work put in to narrate what the player does! Noce job on the game! Cool mechanics. Would have like the bricks to not move when they were clicked together. Maybe I was missing something to get that to happen. Nice job on it though!
I like this game! The mix of building mechanics and platforming felt fresh and engaging, and the voice lines added a lot of charm and humor to the experience. My only nitpick is that the brick physics could be a bit unpredictable at times, making it tricky to build precisely. Overall, though, it was a fun. Well done!
It looks like a nice game, but on my end the loading takes forever and I get a freeze on the second platform. : (
Oh no, this is the first I've heard of someone with this problem. What platform are you playing on? I've made it available in browser, windows (download), and linux (download). Try in Chrome or Firefox, if you still have issues then the downloaded version should actually be the most stable.
Running in Firefox on MacOS. Works in Safari, but with glitched out audio.
Made it to the top of the pyramid, but then got stuck in a death loop after falling of the left side. However, from what I have played it was a fun game. : )
this is like the "only up" game with the building mechanic!
This game has narration, that seems to react to the player - incredible effort!
On my first run I got stuck under a platform, but that made it even funnier somehow :D
a fun little game, i appreciate that it lego themed
Enjoyable. Also managed to catapult a brick into the stratosphere which was pretty funny.
Great game and well-done on the lego system, the dialogue was funny and helped break up tension/quiet moments, kind of reminded me of Thomas was Alone. Unfortunately I ran into quite a few bugs and eventually got softlocked permanently falling (I was respawning off the platform) on the left side of the pyramid
I love physics games! They are always really fun as well as challenging. This game has a lot of charm and personality, good job!
I hate this game. But I also love it. The game was fun in an 'i hate this' sort of way if you know what I mean. There were some ways to gain height that didn't necessarily seem intentional, like grabbing a brick, jumping twice, placing it under you, jumping twice again, and rinse and repeat, although that was very difficult. The physics were a little bit buggy and it felt like the bricks only locked on sometimes. The voice lines were amusing and really added some charm. Overall, great job!
Overall a fun experience, although the brick physics could get a bit buggy.
Thanks for trying the game and the feedback, glad you had fun. Believe it or not the physics used to explode and be far more unforgiving. That is the danger of making a game with a heavy reliance on it, hard to get it perfect all the time.
Voting is now open, so if you could leave your feedback there that'd be a huge help!
Voice acting is pretty funny, game is cool too
Thank you for playing, and the kind words.
Voting has opened now, so if you could vote that would be a huge help.
I got stuck at the first tree lol. Not sure how to proceed from there so I just tried to make the tree fall over by placing bricks over it, and try to stack the bricks to the next platform after the first tree. I'm not sure if the trees are supposed to fall over initially, because when I reach the first tree, it's already toppled. I will try again to complete the game when I have free time later this week.
Knocking over the tree is one of (several) ways I came up with to get past that area.
If you need some tips
