Was a funny little game. Started off a little confused but once you play for a short while its actually really peaceful stacking things up. Bit harder than tetris with everything falling over but guess thats what makes it UNSTABLE! Great entry!

Adorable graphic) And cool lidea) i really have fun to play this game! Thank you)

heho 2021-10-05 09:23

quite a fun experience. I don't quite get why you remove the blocks that are not aligned well, they would make for a more unstable experience. But overall a nice little game

Nice graphic

stoffe 2021-10-05 14:25

@heho, thanks for the feedback. We decided to remove blocks that are tilting to much to make it possible to continue building, didn't want to make the game impossible. But now considering that you commented on it, we could have made it a difficulty setting.

heho 2021-10-05 14:46

@stoffe yes it probably makes the game somewhat harder. Probably a good call to remove it rather than don't.

Really fun game once you start playing it! Had a hard time stopping honestly. At first I wasn't quite sure what the goal was, and why I didn't get a gameover screen when my tower fell, but that's probably just me not taking the time to read the description.

Great little game!

The tumbling tetris block caught me off guard! Using tetris block shapes in a game where you are trying to build a tall tower may be a bit confusing for players who are are used to trying to make the tetris blocks disappear. But otherwise a neat little game!

Good, almost relaxing, entertainment :)

Also great use of physics! It seems to line up with the playingfield nicely without being useless

Nice Game for the theme and for sure harder than other stacking games in this jam. But who doesnt like a challenge ? :thumbsup:

Good entry maybe the floor/platform could be a bit larger to better indicate what area is safe.

jesper-fyhr-knudsen 2021-10-05 15:40

@arttu-halonen it's a very good point, we got that feedback from some friends too, we should have explained it more clearly. But thanks for playing :)

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-05 15:45

Well done!!

Halo :smile: This game is something different ;O Spooky. Graphics are.. there :D

Tetris with physics! The controls are pretty classic-Tetris, so no complaints there.

The artwork on the individual blocks was so creative! Very appropriate for the month of October.

Did you make the music yourself? It was a fun theme! I do appreciate that you also included a mute option (something I didn't have time to add).

It was the most funny entry I've played so fas. hahah Good job.

2021-10-06 01:56

Very fun! The music is great - I left it on the entire time. I like the realism of the blocks falling over when off balance. The graphics are great, too! I found myself reaching a goal...then knocking the blocks down due to a bad move and wanting to build them back up again! Very engaging, fun, and well thought out!! Great job, guys!!

hcs-hades 2021-10-06 04:04

Loved the different blocks! A double theme hit with Halloween and Unstable!

zapturk 2021-10-06 04:05

Neat I like the Halloween vibes.

stoffe 2021-10-06 06:56

@hawking, thanks for the kind review. The music was made using Garageband.

rhornbek 2021-10-07 02:54

Simple, and enjoyable. The mood and art is wonderfully strange, and some of the objects were uncanny.

skyward4d 2021-10-07 12:31

Solid little game that fits the theme. The music, art style and premise really build a cohesive atmosphere. Real spooky, I love it. Overall, really nice experience. Good work!

felixwentzel 2021-10-07 19:46

Aesthetics and music kinda fit together, I really like the mechanic to remove tilting blocks to make it more forgiving. Well rounded game :)

soul-grinder 2021-10-10 09:22

Nice atmospheric game with a dark mood music to boot. It was fun trying to balance the unstable tower of tetris blocks. I got to about 48 before it all came tumbling down. Fun to play game, good luck with the jam

aslan 2021-10-17 19:29

A really fun and relaxing game. It's nice that the uneven blocks are disappearing. Otherwise it would be a painful experience.

gamebucha 2021-10-20 17:38

It's a good game, glad to have spent time with it.
