This looks cool. Let me know if you get the web version working and I'll give it another shot.
@onedozenbagels @spice-cabinet can you let me know what browser you are using. also, the game is kind of large due to assets and takes about 40 seconds to load.
I too couldn't play in Chrome. I waited about 2 minutes
Absolutely gorgeous, relaxing game. I half-expected going into it that the physics wouldn't work or that it would be too hard to control, but those weren't nearly as big of issues I expected, and I was able to make some nice cairns within just a minute or two of playing around. The music and visuals are just wonderful. I will note that the scoring seems finicky and a lot of times I struggled to get it to give me a score at all (maybe I was doing something wrong regarding the center stone, I don't know). In terms of features I'd love to see added in an expanded version, I would like to be able to control the camera more and gain a higher viewpoint. Although I understand that with the way the controls work this could break the game so I can see why you went the way you did. Anyway, really cool stuff! Nicely done.
I was also using Chrome. I'll give it a go on another browser after work.
I tried in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Waited a few minutes for each of them. The progress bar doesn't appear to move.
Seems pretty chill, though I found it kinda hard to stack very high without the ability to zoom out. Nice chill music and idea though
I had no issues with the Windows build. Fun idea, love the red rocks and the general chill/zen feelings here. I found the controls a bit difficult as there was usually at least one axis I didn't have a bearing on so I couldn't tell if the rock was under or over the things I was stacking until it was too late. I would love to see some more starting options.
This was a really nice little game! I really enjoyed the mood, it was really relaxing and nice to just be in the environment. I think the controls were a little bit awkward at first, but once I got used to them, I was able to stack the stones a little bit. It would be really cool to see more extension on this idea, maybe making ways to make it harder or more varied. I really enjoyed it, well done!
Pretty fun to play, very hard. The best I got was 4 stones in one stack.
Nice environment and art, good music, chill vibe. Wish there was a mode with lots more stones, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The web version did load eventually, but I just downloaded the standalone version and it worked without any problems. Great work!
The web version doesn't load sadly. There is no error in the console
I really love the overall vibe of this game. The environment and graphics are some of the most detailed in this jam. The music tracks are *really* nice and relaxing-probably some of my favorite from the game jam. The gameplay is a simple stacking game, but having players do it with rocks is a refreshing take on the mechanic, requiring them to do it with more natural and organic shapes. More interesting is how well the physics engine behaves with these more natural and weird shapes-the reason why a lot of games with physics focus on simple shapes for the physic objects is to prevent issues and ensure stability, but you managed it with more complicated shapes. I also love the inclusion of a high score system-that is a really nice touch. Nice work-this was a really peaceful, zen-like game.
Damn this was super hard to get a really high score, I think I only managed 20 and that took much time and patience. Super unique idea and I loved the environments and calm music. Great entry guys.
Very original! I realy like the thame usage on this game. The graphics are awsome and the physics usage from this games works well! Congrats, it's a great work!
Very elegant and meditative. The camera movement seems a bit slow, but I suppose that contributes to the game's calm atmosphere
Very cool experience, I love hiking and I always liked to find cairns, so it was really fun to create my own here! We have great control of the rocks, even if it is a bit difficult at start to do it correctly and the sound design is great, well done!
Nice and relaxing. The graphic for stone are really well done. The music is so good and calm. The controls feels a little weird. Anyway. Great job with the game!
What an incredibly smooth and relaxing game, I love it!
