This is pretty cool. Was there any point to drawing a 'rope' between bricks? I only got it to work once or twice but I didn't see that it did anything worthwhile. This is definitely something that could be expanded out to a awesome (and crazy) game.
Good job on completing your first LD!
I liked the sounds and the easy to use camera.
I Had a hard time reading the instructions/menu :S That part could have been easily improved!
Sometimes hard to stop the little guys from moving up, since i\'d usually click the closest brick rather than the furthest, so i couldnt instantly click the furthest brick due to the closest brick being in the way of my view.
I can\'t start the game, it just crashes. \"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.\"
Good idea. Somehow i had a mode where no little men were climbing up. Looks like i accidentally hit D?
I intended to use the rope to fix bricks in place. Is that its use?
Interesting idea, needs tweaking but could be great.
Good game, lots of potential here. Camera works great.
Nice game. I think style of the instruction page doesn't at all fit with the rest of the game. An easy way to restart would have been nice. This game really needs sound FX for the falling tower. Also, how do I get normal mode instead of easy or hard?
Wasn't really playable, response was terrible (I guess due to bad framerate). Most of the time no brick was removed when I clicked and when they were, the small guys had already moved on. Might try later if I get access to better machine.
Ah, got the DLL. A good physics game because it's got a whole lot of game wrapped around the physics. It's a lot like Jenga really. Sound effects would've helped, for example I spent forever wondering why I couldn't remove bricks, but it was because I was trying to remove the occupied ones. I thought that was the goal until I understood more!
Nice lots of modes too.
I had trouble getting this running. I was missing "d3dx9_36.dll" but installing the latest version of directx 9 solved this. But then running with DirectX, the tower would always explode at the start of the game. Running with OpenGL worked, except it was rendering the people as black squares. I probably need the latest OpenGL/graphics driver/whatever. The game seems like a novel idea.
Very cool and original idea
Pretty cool, but I didn't find it very fun to play.
Great glitchy background music, very cool. Impressive 3D and physics ++techpoints (I'm inspired to learn how to use Ogre for sure now). Fun game, sort of like Jenga, but different.
Very nice - I like both idea and game.
The fairly simple 3d graphics are looking nice. I like the mouse-to-3d coordinate conversion; even works through holes when clicking on blocks other side of the tower. Well done!
Nice music.
I wasn't really sure what you're supposed to do. This tower sure can survive a long time without a lot of bricks holding it together! Tower of glue is more like it.
