Thanks for this! I thought the mechanic was quite interesting. And the art is great!

Great game! It's got some good music and art, and an interesting game mechanic. I guess my main complaint is it felt like I often didn't have the blocks I needed to continue.

I loved the music and art. The game was fun to play as well, with an interesting mechanic.

I enjoyed trying to construct bridges back and forth from one side to the other and get things as deep as possible before they broke. I noticed there were instructions that might better explain exactly how to play, but I just jumped right in and had to guess about the mechanics for a bit. Fun game overall, I think there's room for improvement with the barrier to entry. Maybe by starting with simpler tiles to build a good base with.

"World of Goo meets dominoes!" is correct! The presentation is nice, with good art and music. The core gameplay mechanics are the star of the show.

This really feels like it could benefit from some short term goals. Like completing puzzles based around the block building. The sandbox mode is nice, but it feels a bit aimless.

I think you've got a really solid idea here. I'd love to see it developed more!

I got a score of 6 😛 It's so hard!

It's really well done, the mechanic is super interesting. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do. I wish it were more clear from the start. Also it was hard at first to see what can connect with what; the colors are a bit too muted. So it's a tough barrier of entry. And it was tough getting the blocks I wanted. Really challenging game, at least to me 😋. I'm curious to see how deep I can go if I train a bit more. Really interesting and well done game.

Nice game! I reached maybe 8 points before it all fell down for me. First a bit confusing, but then I found it interesting and well fitting the theme. I also dig the music. Well done!

I got 10! The RNG is brutal but I had a lot of fun!

I got a 15 but I have no idea how. I really like the game, great job

Cool innovative mechanics. Good audio, good graphics, good theme fit. Real solid level of polish which is something I really appreciate in jam games. Overall super solid compo game. It's pretty hard though and too stressful for me haha. I might have enjoyed it more without the time pressure.

Nice programming language choice! :)
