Great execution! Loved setting up dominos when I was younger. Don't think I've ever played a game that recreates that well, until now. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1460496234?t=01h06m24s

Thank you for the review! You made it pretty close, but I think the last level needed 15 or 16 to make it work. I’ve had lots of comments it should’ve been a set amount of dominos per level, which would’ve made more sense. Thanks for playing it though!

Yeah, interesting design. I appreciate you committing to your concept.

Great work! Camera movement could be improved along with the ability to continue placing dominoes without right clicking.

but other then that, i quiet enjoyed that!

Developer

Sorry for the late reply. I’m glad you liked it! The camera controls were really my first go at it, definitely room for improvement. Also not sure why I settled on clicking the right button to show a piece each time, but you’re right. Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Oh man I couldn't reach the end D:

I wished if there was a way to remove the limitation, also when resetting it's a bit annoying to lose all what you built, plus the camera rotation is very slow it makes placing dominos hard.

The game was a lot of fun, till the 50 domino ended at lest :(

Developer

When I make something like this in the future, I'll try to implement an undo feature or something to that effect. I agree, my use of the limitation might've been better had I done it by level. Thanks for playing though, and for the feedback!

Really cool physics. I love dominoes and would like a sandbox mode. Reviewed live at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission.

I would like to share some thoughts on this game as we had very similar idea and you managed to deliver so much more. The use of the limitation seems a bit off as the player does not know how frugal should he be when placing the tiles. Limitation per level could be a better option I suppose. The controls are a bit hard to grasp - camera movement could be improved and the switching between moving/placing could be removed.

Other than that I shall congratulate you on completing the game. Good work!

Developer

I'm not quite sure why I didn't go with the limit for each level to begin with...I guess my line of thought was that it might make the players super cautious about their setups, not knowing how many pieces will be needed for the next. Controls were probably the most complex I've done in a game...I wanted the player to be allowed to achieve their own perspective. They definitely need work though. Thanks for playing and the feedback!

Fun concept! Could be cleaned up a bit visually, but it mostly plays well.

Developer(+1)

Definitely! Basic shapes worked well enough for drafting it. Thanks for playing!

Great game and GREAT use of the limitation. camera controls are a little slow but apart from that it's great!

Developer(+1)

The camera rotation thing has been an odd bug for me. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Glad you enjoyed the game though! Thanks for playing!
