Very nice! I made it to level 4 and managed to get two blocks to stay on the ice pedestal, but messed up on the third block. Seems like getting the long ones to lay flat is the trick. The crane controls worked great. Well done.
I was a little scared after I read the controls, but its easier than it looks like. What is not easy though is the Icy level! That slippery slope said I did not made it even if I had all the boxes on the pillars! But they needed to be stacked. Well, its a nice game, very difficult at the mentioned level but I am glad I tried it. You did a good job creating it and the sound is not special but fits in very well. you got 5 stars for Theme from me.
Simple yet interesting game. Good work!
Really great game, I think this was what we all though of when we saw the theme unstable but you nailed the physics and the challenges. Only thing I would add is an easier way to display the controls on screen.
This doesn't even feel like a compo game, this is legitimate enough to find on the App Store or Play Store. Super, super fun and addicting.
Really good and easy to play !
The loose but well-tuned controls make it very fun to gently place blocks down without knocking anything else over.
I've noticed some times where I drop a block, and it starts practically sitting inside it before the collisions start to resolve. I don't know if this is a Unity thing, but you might benefit from increasing the physics timestep and solver iterations.
Also the very last level was kind of easy? I just kept putting stuff in the middle so it would stay put, until I couldn't anymore. Then just place the blocks in the corners and bim bam boop, all done :up:
Music is very nice. Gentle background ambiance while you struggle to place a T-Block on a tilted ice pillar.
Overall this is a great entry! Awesome work :thumbsup:
Really great controls, the sounds are super satisfying and the game feels good! Really love the red dot, it helps a lot with playing. Sometimes the blocks get frozen and I can simply stack on top. Enjoyed the game a lot!
Finished the game! Very interesting and unique idea. The ambient audio fit the game a lot. I liked the congratulatory messages after beating a level. The theme fits very well here. This was a fun game!
Preety nice game. Relaxing sound. But it need some physics sencivity ajustment.
Very nice game an take on the theme. I found a bug in your game on my second playthrough. If you wait too long before droping a block, it enters in "sleep" mode and is not processed by the physic engine anymore. Which means that when released, it won't fall and will hang mid-air until another block interacts with. This can easily be fixed by waking up your entity the moment you trigger the release. Other than that, this is a pretty cool game. Good job on your submission.
@eptwalabha Thanks for the bug report. Apparently, I forgot to upload the Windows build where I fixed that bug, so I will do that now.
Very nice entry. The low poly atmosphere worked really well with the puzzly vibe. The ability to lower the objects all the way down seems a little overpowered. If this were expanded, I think having the objects drop some distance would allow for more uncertainty/excitement. Still, great job!
@jon-topielski Thanks for the feedback. The crane line length is a great suggestion and was something I meant to explore. I intended on creating some puzzles involving it but ran out of time.
This is an excellent entry! Really on theme, and the flourishes like the crane are great. I really struggled with the difficulty - collisions seemed to come in and out, so when it looked like i was safe, i would drop a block and it would bounce like crazy. still, excellent entry.
