Really cool game, the controls and physics were on point. It was really easy to flip any items you wanted. And it was short! :)

Good job on the game! I liked the concept and the art style was great. It got pretty tense at times, trying to stuff things onto the pile to stop it all toppling over. I very nearly beat the super-hoarder difficulty. I would have liked a bit of music or some sound effects to give it just a bit more character and a bit more game feel in the UI. Good job overall!

The first moment when everything fell from the ceiling induced pure panic and I was trying frantically to get everything away from the walls before the walls even started shrinking. But then all the adrenaline left when I realised there are no real penalties for when the objects touch the walls, only a counter at the end to tell you how many things you lost. Maybe being able to lose lives or an instant game over would make it more addictive. Otherwise, it's pretty fun! The graphics are nice, the animations are great and there's a real sense of impact when things collide. Plus it's really suitable for touch screens.

Very cool idea and execution! Was just missing some sound. It's kind of fun when you have to poke around your pile to stop it from falling. I think it could be cool with a mode where you can add more stuff yourself to your room, and then maybe get points for each item the longer you manage to keep them from the wall. Still, overall a very solid entry.

Fun little game! I like how the game doesn't automatically end when you lose an item, like a lot of other game jam entries I've played. Although, I did find a bug/feature where you can drag flashing items to stop them from disappearing, not sure if that was intentional or not. I also would have liked to see a bit more variety in the items - how many beds does one person need?

OMG Why is our house shrinking! I don't know but lets put all our shit in a pile so it doesn't get crushed! I love this idea!

Ahh my precious 8 toilets and 3 king size beds! All gone!! I knew this day was coming.

Made me laugh and I ended up replaying it a bunch more times than I was expecting. Kind of like a reverse Angry Birds (if you'll pardon the comparison). Nice work!

This Game was awesome :-D I never knew that straightening up could be so much fun ^^

But One Little thing I noticed. You are able to drag your things trough the ground and thenn there are save. But they fall into the endless abyss I think X-D

But if you don't exploid this its a very funny game. And the table was a good chioce because you can put the teddybear under it and it is soooo dificult to grab x-D

Loved getting rid of those red telephones! Was there music or sound, I didn't seem to hear it ?

vincent-knauss 2018-08-13 23:17

what would I do without all these toilets?! loved the sprites, very cute art style could be a very fun mechanic for more diverse level types! As it is super-hoarder did not feel hard enough. Mechanics and physics are solid. Collisions and how stacks of object behave has a good feeling

This is a pretty simple game that communicates what it wants well. It's a bit hilarious (who has that many toilets?) but it's not really that different from my own entry when you get down to it. I would have liked to fullscreen the game (it was bigger than my screen), but I managed anyway. It also sometimes seemed like the pieces were jiggling a bit, which is probably my imagination from the background moving. The tables are really good for holding bears if you can get them on the ground right!

A little rough around the edges, but it's all there.

Pretty interesting concept. Not sure if this was intentional... but you are able to push things through the floor.

This guy really needs something like 15 tables and 10 double beds in this small house with one room in it ? x) Really cool concept ^^ I liked playing it ^^ It lacks sounds though.

Keep coding :)

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/M4_JaetxhkY
