Hard work pays off...

Enjoyed it, I do wish the building mechanic was a bit less hard. Its kind of hard to balance that skill-based gameplay with fun from creative expression. Could definitely see it is really quite fun if you really found that balance!
Good luck with ratings!

Thank you very much, maybe I should try porting it to mobile

DEVISTATING when you're 3 towers up and it crumbles to the ground. Castles made of sand fall into the sea.

This is a wonderful entry, extremely beautiful.

It's fun how the game is actually easy but the more you play the more you want to go fast, and then your castle crashes

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback! I like your observation, didn't know it was kind of addictive :)

Difficult! I enjoyed this one a lot

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! Initially, it was even harder, so I tuned it down :D

great concept! its can be very nice on mobile! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, that would be a fun little challenge to port it on mobile :)

Very chill and pretty! I like how you can build a tower anywhere. I also really like how you can see the tower grow as you complete a little level.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Good polish. Although the bottom or start of the maze should be covered. Relaxing and fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Good suggestion, didn't think of that :)

This is satisfying to play. The background sound is calming. Great game!

Good sound design and fun gameplay loop. Was a bit frustrating at first, but was engaging once I got into it. The art is pleasing and fits the theme well, but I wonder if the limitation could have been implemented more integrally to the game. Overall fun experience worth having and a great submission to the jam.

Developer

Thank you very much for detailed feedback, really appreciate it!
I had some more ideas to try out for limitation, but sadly there was not enough time. Could have been cool if, for example, collapsing castle was rigidbodied and while collapsing could affect other castles to collapse as well

Submitted(+1)

The game is really nice, and has a relaxing tone - complete with big sandcastles that collapse after a single mistake. Just like the real thing :)

Cheers!

Thank you very much!
I'm glad you found some similarity with a limitation of the jam. Thanks for playing :)

An interesting idea for a game. I'd really like to see it refined more. I think it has the potential to be a really cool mechanic

Developer

Thanks a lot for a feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I wanted to refine it some more, but ran out of time, still had tons of fun making it
