Initially was neat, but then got a little tedious. Perhaps adding an actual grid might help, perhaps not. I think it's simple with the three colors, and four or five might be good for later levels. With some tweaking, this might be a new type of puzzler.
The game would be better if the game would get more exciting along the levels. In the end the game was only about dragging objects to put them in a tower, not fun. Since it was a 3 hour game is good, but it\'s a 48h compo. Better luck next time.
If you grab a red block while it\'s dropping, then really quickly whip your mouse somewhere, you can place it in the middle of a huge clump of red blocks.
There\'s no way of getting rid of red blocks?
Pretty good for three hours. Hard to play, I got to level 3. I didn't really like the click & drag controls, also it seems like red has an unfair advantage. Nice music.
I liked the mechanic, although it is difficult to play with a laptop's touchpad. The music was nice. I didn't know I got points for just having blue and yellow alternating, so I kept trying to build higher towers, and it turns out that I could just have large flat towers and get points fine. Red definitely gets a distinct advantage since one missed block can destroy an entire column.
It needs a bit more variation. There should really be a way to also get rid of the red blocks.
You could add more colors, powerups to make bonus points or ways to destroy reds, color changing blocks... You could scroll the screen up for next levels, so the player has to use their probably meager platform and red gets the rest of the screen.
In linux change the folder name Data to data, and you can run intothesky.py
Nice idea, blocks should be cleared between levels.
Interesting concept, but really needs a little more game to it. Just scoring higher than red isn't all that interesting, especially since there's not much to be done against red.
For 3 hours work though, pretty decent, and two thumbs up for making an effort regardless of the time! :)
Notably similar to one of the other entries... the one where you can't have the same color touching as you build a tower. Neither one really does it for me... I don't know how I feel about this, I guess. It's pretty good, but not real fun for me.
Pretty hard but cool. Awesome music!
Nice concept, could use some more AI in piece spawning.
Very simple graphics.
Nice music! To me, the best music in any of the games. :)
Wonderful music. Interesting and fairly unique take on a tower building game. Simple but functional, clean graphics.
Nice music, interesting concept but gets boring rather fast. Maybe with more colors it would be more fun.
