Stack

Man, this game is brutal! Really nice concept, but I couldn't manage a stack of more than a few boxes at any time - any more than three or four and it's impossible!

@conorod I'm glad that it made you feel at least something 😎

The screen is way to red for me, hurts my eyes. But the game is still simple, well executed, and very difficult. Good job!

4 is my best,, i like the concept,

Simple game that perfectly encapsulates the theme. Maybe it's a bit too simple...

Wow this is so challenging, could only get a few blocks high. A really neat idea - had a similar box stacking idea ourself, but did not go for it in the end - having the platform move is a very elegant touch. Awsome. 🤘🏻

Nice minigame! I got to 5! A less aggressive background would be appreciated by your players' eyes :)

Very hard game.. seems once it starts going in one direction even blasting to the other side doesn't make it move the other way at all.

Quite pround of my 8!

I really like this. Block stacking is fun but so hard. I think it would be cool if you wrapped around the screen at the edges, so you could really correct your balance when it's leaning bad. I got to 5 blocks at my best :)

I agree about the red background choice... :expressionless: @fashionbatman @rasco

True that, let's see it as an exploration for something a bit more interesting :smirk: @szabe

The unscientific physics could really go for som more work! But I've also grown to like the sensitivity of it, although maybe it should be saved until the stack is very high @lewis-quaife

Great idea! I thought about zooming out the view port when the player got outside, but I should probably try both @fluidvolt

I found the red color too bright for my eyes, other than that a pretty good concept, I got to 7 on my fifth try

I really like the idea, simple, but a good concept! With a few tweaks and more content, I could see it working well on a touch screen.

Nice concept! The controls are a bit hard, because the boxes feel like they are reacting very slowly. I managed to score 6 boxes :)

prodigalson 2017-12-23 19:31

I barely blinked and the boxes were tipping over. Ouch! Nice concept, with a little more polish and tweaking the shifting of the box it would be a nice game to quickly pick up and kill time while waiting in line or something like that :D

Thank you @stmatn and @prodigalson for your feedback! It seems that you helped me get over the rating barrier :innocent:

I agree that the controls are too sensitive. I've actually had the opportunity of watching several people play the game and have gotten some insight into how people *expect* the tower to react to the inputs.

One thing I will also probably test is making a mobile version that uses the accelerometer as input, so that you will need to tilt the phone accordingly :grin: Thanks all for your feedback!

conk 2017-12-23 21:50

I liked the concept of this, but the pile of blocks start to tilt even though you don't move and when they start tilting too much it feels almost impossible to get them back under control, perhaps if the movement had slower acceleration? Fits the theme really well! It could be an interesting idea to develop further, after perhaps toning down the bright red back ground :stuck_out_tongue:

Good job!

Change the color "My Eyes!". Good job dude. It was a tough game but it was simple and fun. A solid entry to the Jam.
