Quite addicting! The way the towers stack is quite satisfying. I love the backgrounds and art too, nicely done!
Wow, I found this game quite addicting and amusing! I reached 28000 before my tower was unsustainable -- although I did take advantage of the camera movement "gluing" onscreen blocks to try and time a perfectly level floating drop just before the scroll.
I love the scrolling artwork and the little touch of the languages in the UI changing with the tower of babel theme. It really gave me "Jump King" vibes, always wanting to find out what was next. And having the "postgame" content was great (especially with the troll clouds...)
Thanks for the game (:
I'm glad that you noticed the detail of the language changing, we would like to make a couple of adjustments in the future to avoid these things (getting stuck) from happening and make it more fun. Thanks for playing
Feels like i'm playing one of those arcade stacker games - just sad i didnt win an mp3 player from 2008! I think it you played around with the cloud blocking your view idea, and added in other similar obstacles, it could be a fun challenging skill game.
Very neat. Thought the touch of breaking free of the simulation as you climb higher was fun. Nice work!
Oh no, is reality real? I am really bad at this game, but I made it... eventually. It is probably a bug, but I like how the tower segments permanently freeze during a transition even if they are floating (it made the game easier for me). Good game, well done! :)
Congrats on reach the sky and beyond! and it is not a bug... its a features of course ;)
My tower looks more like the Tower of Giza than the Tower of Babylon :D Great game, congrats!
I've reached the domain of the gods
You asked me to stop!
But i did not :)
Fun little game.
Good job guys!
Neat concept, I would like to see some more variety between each time the camera moved up. It seems like the blocks from the lower level are mostly ignored, its almost like you start over at each new level.
Quite simple but interesting game, reminds me of Tricky Towers
Sadly I got stuck twice because blocs started falling right before the screen moved to they got stuck diagonally and I couldn’t place anything on them
this is awesome. such a simple concept but very well executed to be fun and interesting, the great background progression compels you to keep playing and trying to progress despite strange block arrangements made for some rly fun emergent gameplay. Also love the cloud at the end really funny post game trick
Thank you so much! your words make me thrilled. It really makes me want to continue making games.
hell ye keep it up
Catchy one, I liked it)
Simple and enjoyable, all though not a big fan of the cloud that covered the sphinx at the end. It changed the gameplay to pure chance. A losing condition could also be added.
That aside, I like the artstyle and the messages sent by god telling you to stop in the background.
Thanks! We added the cloud so it was harder to go higher from that point. But yeah, it was a last minute feature, so it wasn't tested that much. Thank you for playing!
Cute game! I got up to like 69 blocks (nice) lol. I do wish there was a death condition, because it seems like I could just keep playing no matter what. Also neat that you lock prior levels as you progress higher. Nice job!
Thanks! It was difficult thinking in a way of losing without making too difficult or unfair. We opted for a score, rather than a way of losing
Cool game, the mobile viewport isn't the bast (but that's cause i'm on a computer), had fun playing, but it didn'tseems to have losing system as at a moment i just started spamming, maybe i just had luck that's possible, overall good game !
This game reminds me a lot of a tower building block game from old nokia phones, good old times.
Interesting little game, it seems like you can't lose. In the future you could maybe add that since right now you don't have very high stakes. The worst that happens is that you lose ~3 blocks.
thanks for the comment. indeed we planned to add a losing condition, but for time sakes we didn't do it, instead we add the score.
