Nice game

jharler 2015-08-25 20:49

I really like this. The atmosphere of the game is great. The visuals and audio really work well together. Well done!

hippolyta 2015-08-25 20:50

I really love it
would like to play it on my iphone
great job!

mventurelli 2015-08-25 20:53

Jenga with monsters? Genious! Good, simple and fun game.

mortalwombat 2015-08-25 20:59

I liked it! The "Player's Turn" notice disturbs the flow a bit because you can't keep playing while it is showing. It would feel a little more snappy if you wouldn't have to wait or had a better audiovisual indication of exactly when one can press again.

jofra 2015-08-25 22:05

nice concept with the theme! X)
nice game

marekkpie 2015-08-25 22:05

Jenga!

beardogames 2015-08-25 22:06

Wow, a great concept, nice 1930's aesthetic, complete with static, and a lot of fun to play. Super cool and really fun, great work!

multiplexor 2015-08-25 22:07

Really great game! Everything fits together and it's quite fun, it might be a bit annoying sometimes to wait for the monster to move the finger up to where you want it to, but that's just a minor flaw!

Keep up the good work! :)

landosystems 2015-08-25 22:08

Excellent styling and music, perhaps a /bit/ too much film grain : )

I didn't realize that you could charge up the hits at first, and kept poking the building as the same monster until the whole thing crumbled. Figured out you could hold down to charge up and took the whole place down. FEAR ME!

Great work, and thanks for sharing this!

katekmail 2015-08-25 23:08

So clever. So fun. Love it.

Hope you enjoy.

cortezbr 2015-08-26 19:52

very good game

glerikud 2015-08-26 22:12

Very nice thinking of the theme. The game is just great with nice audio and creative art. Congratulations. Keep it up C2 :)

zampi 2015-08-27 19:38

Perfecto my friend! It's so fun when play it alone :D
5\5

rafaella 2015-08-28 05:05

I loved it!!!

slashee-the-cow 2015-08-28 10:53

Great! Couple of minor nitpicks (I spend more time complaining than praising but really, it's great), the power bar probably moves a bit fast and the player turn messages seem to go for ages. But really, it's awesome.

peyman 2015-08-28 11:01

We've fixed this issues for the final version... but we decide to not change the submission here (maybe it isn't etic).

Final version for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telekinetic.games.jenkaiu
Final version for web: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92015/JenkaiuMobile/index.html

Its fun but the wait time between players gets annoying. Its a bit weird that if I hit a block and it doesn't go all the way out, it doesn't count as a go so I get to try again and really screw it up for the other player. But I suppose that is another tactic.

01101101 2015-08-28 16:55

Really fun game!
It's a little bit too easy to never make the tower fall though, maybe if it was less wide the balance would be a bit harder to keep and I think that would make it a bit more challenging :)
Anyway congrats, I really enjoyed this!

razoric 2015-08-28 16:57

Really cool idea. High marks for sure. =)

hippomancer 2015-08-28 17:22

Looks great, fun to play, no complaints here :)

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-28 17:27

This is so fun!

nibblebitsstudio 2015-08-28 17:33

Great game!

leom 2015-08-28 17:36

Very nice ! ^^
Need to find a friend to challenge him.

chuckeles 2015-08-28 17:43

Awesome idea for a game! Love it

lemer 2015-08-28 17:49

Great visuals and nice gameplay. Good work.

joshua_burr 2015-08-28 17:53

Really love this. I burst out laughing when I saw the gif. Great idea. The static effect is a bit painful on my eyes.

off 2015-08-28 18:04

REally nice game lack maybe of more challenge : time limit, people inside the building, zone to avoid on the building, fire to avoid. But the game is really well finished. It could have been evne more old looking even in the graphics, but it's still very impressive.

krunoslav 2015-08-28 18:16

@x2l2: juegazo, justamente!
Nice concept, original and I liked the ambience created by the music and the effects.

adaymc 2015-08-28 18:16

Nice and polished game, I liked the gameplay, it reminds me to Jenga board game.

Good style and mood, good work!

reallysketchypen 2015-08-28 18:35

Great concept and really fun game! I wish there could have been some ai, though and it would have been harder if the power meter went up and down. Overall, really nice job!

keyboardmonkey 2015-08-28 19:09

Simple and fun! Well Done!

gamepopper 2015-08-28 20:24

This is a rather good multiplayer game, and a great take on Jenga. I would really see this go well as a smartphone game, maybe with gyro sensors that also effect how the tower's movement.

flokitall 2015-08-28 22:43

Awesome, well polished game! Great job!

The music and art fit together really well and the film grain effect adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Glad to see you've also put this on mobile devices. Obviously this would be way beyond the scope of Ludum Dare, but if you're considering working on this further, online multiplayer (asynchronous or real time) would be a great addition.

A minor change that would be nice would be shortening the animation between turns, right now it blocks input for quite a long time and it takes up a bit too much space. Other than that minor complaint, awesome game!

happyhour 2015-08-29 06:28

A charming take on a tried-and-true monster rivalry. :)

koneke 2015-08-29 08:00

Looks great, sounds great! My only complaints have already been mentioned, ai of some kind would be nice, powerbar should maybe move down again if you overshoot, and the time between turns is maybe a bit much, but overall it's very fun. The physics also feel really onpoint! Well done!

Biruts 2015-09-01 16:50

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

flannelvindicate 2015-09-02 16:09

Pssst - you have been featured in today's Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWkF7dp7EeE

peyman 2015-09-02 17:54

Thank you so much!

drauthius 2015-09-02 20:00

Cool :)

lukbebalduke 2015-09-02 20:15

Very cool idea! You guys are very creative! Congrats!

zatyka 2015-09-03 01:10

Short, but fun. Played it with my girlfriend. We both enjoyed it. Nice graphics, but I personally think the noise filter took away from the visual.

gatechgrad 2015-09-03 04:02

Wish there was more to do than just hold space and let go. Not having any CPU AI really hurts this game as well.

oakus 2015-09-06 08:14

For me there should be some controler for the strength of pushing the pieces of jenga. All the games I have played were really short, because I couldn’t control it and it was a little frustrating.

bombjack 2015-09-12 15:44

I likde the graphics. the kong remembers me of some game but I c'ant recall the name. Simple but effective. nice. could be fun on tablet if player could play at the same time.

ddrkirbyisq 2015-09-14 03:57

Almost! Good concept, feel like you could have executed a bit better. Still, though! :)

crucknuk 2015-09-14 19:26

Loved the graphics! the game you can play with someone else :) well it is just great!
well done on your entry! that was a flaback to the 30's! :D

qkerguelen 2015-09-14 20:30

Loved it! Wish there were more multiplayer games in LDs!

dancingmad 2015-09-14 22:33

Good game I really like the music!

dos 2015-09-14 23:06

Love the visual noise effect! Fun little minigame.

zccc 2015-09-14 23:19

This is amazing, really great idea :D
