How does your game fit the theme?
The game's goal is to stack blouders higher and higher,you can use woods to help with that. After the boulders are placed, you also have to climb to the top of the highest boulder to start placing another one. So this game has a word play of "Build to Scale" as in build a tower to scale up it

I really liked this game. It was fun to try - the one thing I would change is that it seems easy to make a mistake with one boulder and have to restart a lot of work

The concept with the fish and the balls is very strange but it works well. Fun to build a tower like this, and it was a nice way to combine the actual stacking with the fish placement. It forces you to think in two ways, which makes the gameplay alot more interesting. It would have been nice maybe to indicate the position of the flag before you drop the rock? Now it's a random direction which made planning a bit more random, since you couldn't predict the position the fish had to be in before dropping.

Interesting game concept, like one of the stacking tower making games but with rage game style controls for the player, I really liked flinging the fish around. Nice job!

The effort put into your page theme is wonderful, I love the quotes used. The music is very good and fits the concept very well. I think the movement options for the fish are a little too limited, and the frustrating movement is the main reason I stopped playing. The stacking was very fun.

(sorry I put this same comment on the main page, I wrote it there first then realized I had to write one here)

This is not what i expected to see, but I'm glad i did. The game was really fun, and the movement was really really good. It would make for an excellent game on it's own.

fun idea, was a bit to hard for me to make the boulders stick

Really it was a solid game, a little confusing at first but I figured it out. I think maybe the fish  has not enough to do with the building aspect, but it was fun. I think to improve this game I would take away either the "boulder needs to be touching" requirement or the "boulder needs to be above height" requirement.

Really fun game! I was surprised how captivated I got. I think I lost too a bug where the stones wouldn't stabilize and the game thought the stone was under the line. Also sometimes I couldn't place the planks even if I was overlapping existing ones.
