What an amazing idea! It is certainly astonishing how you calculated the platformer movement of the character, and designed the levels in relation to that. I have enjoyed the game thoroughly and fell in love with the simple yet effective nature of the graphics. Great work!

The tutorial is great, straight to the point. Loved the visuals. Just please add a fullscreen button

Straight to the point. Very satisfying mechanics that are quick to grasp. Only wish I could click and hold to drag and release to drop. Wonderful work!

Cool art style. If you press arrow right, you skip the room though xD.

Your game looks great and has a really fun mechanic. It’s enjoyable to play, though I’m not entirely sure how it ties into the theme.

I’d also love to see more levels to extend the fun. Overall, it’s a solid game with lots of potential.

(I love the capsule image and  the ending)

it's a tower built by the player for the peasant to scale!

wow its so cooool ! love the art, sound and gameplay ! my game is about of Babel's tower too but in a different kind of puzzle game

Submitted(+1)

Really polished, fun gameplay, wish there was more levels! And of course, Connor's music goes HARD

Submitted(+1)

wow so polished, it feels like a complete game! and so many levels! And I LOOOOOVE how the music quiets down for the edit mode and then turns back up for the play mode, such a well thought through detail!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! Great polish on this game. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out the mechanics without reading for instructions or anything and it was pretty clear. The puzzles were straightforward, but satisfying to solve. The final puzzle had redundant pieces in it, but otherwise they all seemed very parsimonious. The art is really incredible, the level and characters (and I guess technically the NPC we're protecting) are truly beautiful, well done!

Huh. So you play as a gargoyle whose mission is to help the player reach the top of the tower? Very interesting. Great job on the game! 

Submitted(+1)

Nice graphics, very clear and moody, music and sounds were also great. The game is super fun, too bad is so short, because I really enjoyed the concept and would like to see like maybe 3-5 more levels.

Great take on the foddian game sub-genre! I believe the last room can be cheesed with only 1 block or maybe I just got lucky lol
