Fun for a while, but there isn't much to it. The music is nice.

Cool game, my wife was watching me play and asked if she could have a go. Her review "I liked that game, it was good".

I also made my game with libGDX, and music from http://www.abundant-music.com/ and sounds from http://www.bfxr.net/. Even with the same themes it great how much diversity there is in the games produced.

Nice stacking game

Cool game. I imagine this is what being a dock worker is like.

Nice game, but well umm, i am really bad at it :P still wont give you bad score because of that.

Fun, and the 'are you drunk' is a funny touch! :D

I had a lot of fun playing this game, it's always fun just messing around with physics in a game, and in this game, the tetris like game concept combined with the silly physics of the game made for a great experience

The graphics and audio were sub-par, and the audio was also fairly loud.

Overall this was a very enjoyable experience, thank you for the game! :D

Nicely made game, short and sweet! Good job :)

Fun game. My highest score was 13m, which is probably pretty appauling.

Nice graphics and musics. The game's physics are quite impressive, but I noticed you can get a sneaky win by dropping the crates immediately after they appear (as they have very little initial momentum).

Cool game overall! :)

Wow this was really fun, it was just the right amount of crazy. Nice work!

The instant retry was key here, I played a bunch of times.

The comments from the sky were a nice touch. I kind of wished I could see the containers plummet into the sea and that it would be hilarious, but I understand why the screen has to scroll that part down so I have room to play.

Also, good job making the song for a compo!

Something about this sticks with me. I like it :) Good job!
great audio too, really suits the game.

This is one of those games which is a simple concept and easy to pick up, but you can actually get a lot of mileage out of it. Some people have commented that it's short or gets old quickly, but I found that because of the quirky physics, it allowed for emergent strategies (such as making use of slipped boxes to form a larger base for your structure), which gave it good replayability. The swinging chain was a really nice touch. Good job!

Simple and well executed. I did encounter some issues when it comes to graphics and clarity of gameplay, but overall the game works and is cohesive enough to guarantee a fun gameplay experience. I do wish there was more to it, though.

vertigon 2015-12-15 16:55

Combining physics with a stacking puzzle game was really cool. Sinking the boat gave me mixed messages (I thought I was doing something bad), but it definitely seemed like a concept that could turn into a full-fledged experience. Well done.

buddhaman 2015-12-15 17:08

I had fun with this for quite a while. It runs on mac too btw.

drury 2015-12-15 17:08

Almost growing, almost two buttons :P

skywilly 2015-12-16 08:47

Very fun, some bugs with physic :)

"Are you Drunk ?" :P

2015-12-16 21:16

Great game, best game simulator i have played boro :D

miggygman 2015-12-16 23:26

The Music is not bad but the game is a little boring after a while. The use physics was nice as well as the witty comments when you miss.

shrapx 2015-12-16 23:42

hahaha, fun, i got 15 meters after a couple of tries, nice busy music and funny simple sound effects.. wizz! wooo! interesting idea too, i count only one button, but the stack does grow if you play well enough. good work :D

coywolf 2015-12-17 03:37

Not entirely sure how but I bugged out the sound that plays when a crate lands, it'd play like times quickly. Overall pretty fun though, offered a good amount of challenge

lukbebalduke 2015-12-17 04:20

Nice gameplay and graphics, really cool mechanics, congrats! I liked it!

davidb 2015-12-17 21:38

Thanks for the few minutes, I spent on your game.

architect404 2015-12-17 21:41

fun and amusing, certainly not easy, my highest score was only 16m. a little frustrating when you dropped a container and it would collide with an instantly appearing new container before it had gone anywhere. lighthearted entertainment, good effort!

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-19 02:54

Is this a growth or two button theme? I saw none.. the idea may be good but the physics makes the gameplay too hard.

coomzy 2015-12-19 13:22

Are you drunk? So what if I am!

krafty 2015-12-22 06:34

My best score was 16m, I wasn't too good =P Interesting but it got kind of dull after a while. The music was good though, I liked that a lot!

scorched 2015-12-27 09:48

Funny, but why the ship is going under water? :-)

terryg 2015-12-28 13:00

Great music and fun game play. I wasn't very good at this. Not sure what the trick was to stacking before the containers started swinging wildly out of control. Still nice play on the growing theme.

jupiter_hadley 2015-12-28 15:44

Challenging well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/ONV56vKkbDk

benjamin-soule 2015-12-28 18:25

Well I had a lot of fun playing this game. My best score is 19.

tortoise 2015-12-30 21:46

I am now prepared to be a dock worker right? Nice game, took me a few tries to get the hang of it then i could keep stacking. Maybe if you add some different kinds of crates it could mix it up a bit.
