How does your game fit the theme?
I created a simple game mechanic where different building blocks appear in a river. The scale of what you build depends on your ability to figure out each block's potential.

Interesting game! Admittedly didn’t keep me occupied for too long, but it was fun seeing how many of each colour box could be stacked upon another until the latter collapses, and making an attempt at an arch, and going “Gah!” when the foundations of my arch collapsed, resulting in a lopsided thing. Grabbing building materials from the river is fun, also.
I do think it would’ve been nice if blocks could be moved or destroyed after being placed. Perhaps there could be an item you pick up from the river that lets you destroy boxes and such.
Would be interested in seeing what this idea turned into a fuller game would look like. Also, I like the game’s sort of surreal-looking thumbnail image. Was what got me to check it out!
Thanks for the ideas!
I wasn't sure I understood at first, but then looking at the screenshot you posted gave me ideas for some fun structures. Nice little game, good work!
cool concept, I like the dragging as well
