Good game, had fun.
I'm glad!
Nice game! I started chilling by building a solid tower with compact fundations, before I realized there is a timer and panicked lol. Construction is smooth, menus and interface are well polished, and the game is enjoyable as is. Maybe a "hard mode" with more atypical shapes could be interesting ?
Thanks for checking it out, and I'm glad you found it enjoyable!
If we ever decide to continue developing it into a full release, we'll be sure to add extra playing modes :D
Cool tower building game. I found it pretty relaxing! Maybe incorporate more interesting shapes would've improved it further, and perhaps a bigger punishment for losing pieces - my strategy was to just throw away all triangles and went straight up, still had plenty of time left per checkpoint!
Music also bugged out for me :(
Yeah, you are absolutely right in that it could benefit from some timer punishment tweaking, but thank you so much for playing it!!!
This game was wonderful. The music kinda starts to glitch out, but I overall enjoyed it a ton. I really liked the comparison on the side. I got to as far as appollo 11.
Woah congrats, and thank you!!! :D
I'm sorry about the music tho, that's a known issue :p
Whenever the game goes on too long the music stops and is replaced by a continuous buzzing sound.
But other than that, great game. I particularly love the title screen where you can push the letters around using the cube and the lore is "🔥✍️🔥🔥🔥". Things like that add a lot of SOUL
Thank you so much for playing the game, and I'm so glad you liked the story scene and the interactive title screen!!! <3333
And I'm so sorry you got to hear that buzzing sound, we noticed less than a minute after the postponed deadline so we couldn't do anything about it, though 90% of the time the buzzing stops after 5-10 seconds and the music loops back.
Really fresh view on a tower-building games! Requires a lot of creative thinking
Thank you!!!
Never got past 70 meters, guess I'm not that creative lmao :p
I really like art, polish, and physics based gameplay. Its very fun and i appreciate the scale which compares the tower height to real objects. Very underrated game!
We actually had some fun making the height comparison thingie, thank you so much! <3
(psst, it shows the "Tower of Babel" as a comparison when you reach 2484 meters, the only problem is that we made the game and the highest I could reach is 70, so good luck :p)
I played it by my smartphone, and as a Tetris lover, I really enjoyed playing some game like this.
Thank youuuu!!! I'm quite glad it works well on mobile too, that just makes me wanna make it an installable web app :D
loved it!
Thank you so much! :D
Gameplay feels cozy and awesome and the music is amazing!
You're amazing Adam <3
