Really good entry, feels nice to play and quite addictive. Good job ! thanks

stoickekis 2021-10-05 05:17

Great work! Loads of fun! Love the artwork.

glebshik 2021-10-05 06:01

Addictive game! Nice graphics and physics, I liked it

3lstmsinatrenchcoat 2021-10-05 06:03

There are obviously tons of "object stacking" games in this jam, and it's interesting to me to see the wide range of approaches and themes people have come up with. Unfortunately, I can't play/rate this particular one since it won't load for me (Firefox on Linux). But props for the creative premise!

kornel 2021-10-05 06:56

Hey @3lstmsinatrenchcoat, we've added native builds (including Linux) :)

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! :)

3lstmsinatrenchcoat 2021-10-05 07:29

Thanks for the Linux build!

This version of an "object stacking" game seems a bit more complex than some of the others I've seen (i.e. with monetary values, object damage, and explosions), and it has a pretty concrete theme (unlike, say, stacking abstract "blocks" or tetrominos, which I've seen a couple times). It's fun, like all of these games tend to be, but maybe has a bit more personality than many. And I like the Ikea-esque furniture names.

kornel 2021-10-05 07:38

@3lstmsinatrenchcoat thanks! :smiley:

deav 2021-10-05 11:25

Oh man, this game perfectly sums up what happens every time I have to change apartments and move my stuff (with the exception of exploding. It usually doesn't explode.)

It's surprisingly fun! The physics engine works well, collisions are logical (you can't just throw a TV at a table and hope it won't break :laughing: ), art style is really good and overall feeling of the game is just lovely. Very, very good! Only the green font of furniture's price was kinda hard to read, but that's a detail.

Yeah, and the sounds make the whole thing surprisingly hilarious (i lost it at the "wow" sound in the background).

parttimeindie 2021-10-05 17:08

Pretty good, I think it is the best of these types of stacking games I played so far.

wafflecomposite 2021-10-05 17:08

Wonderful game, loved the physics and destruction! Solid gameplay loop

lucywang 2021-10-05 17:33

Haha this was so creative and so much fun to play!!!!! it was super chaotic but in a really good way!

gaming-night 2021-10-05 18:54

Exellent, looks like my amazon delivery man. Great Job.

st00nsa 2021-10-05 19:04

Now I know two things. 1. I'm not capable to transport ikea furnitue. 2. This game is pretty good and simple.

Love names of objects, and this small raytracing shadow effect. It's polished and fun to play. I got 2k$ and 10m score.

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-05 19:09

@st00nsa 10m is pretty high, thanks for playing our game!

tom-stephenson 2021-10-05 21:33

This is so fun and full of 'game-feel'! The interactions are juicy, challenging and there is just so much feedback that it feels amazing to play. It's well polished, fits the theme well and quite addictive; I'll definitely be returning to beat my highscore.

I'd love to see this made into a mobile game, well done! :)

dannyk1994 2021-10-05 22:28

Very fun game! I enjoyed the game and the physics! Had fun playing it on stream! :D

zapturk 2021-10-06 04:23

Love the explosion!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-06 09:09

@dannyk1994 Do you have footage because i fell asleep and i didn't watch you play our game :(

dannyk1994 2021-10-06 10:06

@adriankrawczyk Unfortunately I don't apologies, it is a great entry though! :)

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-06 10:09

That's sad, i would love to see you reacting to our game, if i didn't have school today i would probably stayed longer to watch it :(

coryru 2021-10-06 15:40

Hahahahah! Too fun! After playing carefully the first time then I just started hucking crap into the box and had a blast.

Great work.

as-you-like-101 2021-10-06 15:59

Great Game , realy fun to play

reronin 2021-10-06 16:01

Weirdly swedish indeed! Some furniture really swings around a lot when you take it out of the menu, and it seems like it takes a few nudges for it to register it into the truck as well.

But other than that, awesome game!

bigyellow 2021-10-06 16:05

Fun enough for the game! Very nice job for the stacking furniture game-play designing . The physical engine system is also perfectly fit the intuition. Thank you for your game :)

exilegl 2021-10-06 16:12

Tricky but very fun and polished :) I think some sort of upgrades you can use your cash on would be cool (like to buy back some hp, or unlock taller objects, or something like that). Art and music are both great too. Also, nice lava lamp :D

Here's my best score across my attempts:

erkberg 2021-10-06 17:37

Awesome game! It made it into the second part of my let's play series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5X9Ha1_nE8

slimmerburger 2021-10-06 18:17

Really fun game, the grabbing was a little bit crazy sometimes but it only added to the chaos, so I actually liked it

mordrick 2021-10-06 18:17

:D The whole grab mechanics remind me of my own game ^^.

The game is addictively cool! Can't stop playing ^^. I thought this is an easy game but it eventually got harder and the urge to beat my own highscore was definitely there.

I love the pixel art and the concept behind the game and the theme is well met.

Good job! Keep it up!

Thanks for submitting this!

tory 2021-10-06 18:47

Very interesting mechanics, and very addictive gameplay!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-06 18:55

@tory Thank you very much for showcasing our game on stream, sadly i don't understand russian enough for getting all feedback you gave us, but i'm glad that you enjoyed our game (atleast i believe so from watching the stream :) ).

kirren 2021-10-06 19:35

As a swe, i can confirm this is how you pack your stuff when getting out of "the weirdly Swedish looking company"

10/10 great game!

dj-depressive 2021-10-06 20:09

Haha spot on, this matches my struggle packing furniture into the car perfectly ;)

firefox_PDF0FMbHGA.png

Do I get to be on the leaderboard?

firefox_yuSfnKd5uH.png

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-06 20:18

@dj-depressive Good job! I hope we Reach 20 m, and knowing my own game it won't be easy!

2ccs 2021-10-07 07:45

This is a really fun one! I like the graphics and the controls of the game, this can have someone hooked for hours!

stroe-andrew 2021-10-07 10:05

Was very fun to play. Earn a lot of money, but at the end I just had to make everything explode. Really nice nice entry. Graphics are good and the sound effects make it very funny. Congrats <3

fupi 2021-10-07 11:17

So fun! Great graphics and full of character. I love how everything has a Swedish name, and the gas canisters are iconic! At first I didn't get that you were supposed to drag the items off the menu so I screwed my first run right off the bat. xd Pretty much a perfect entry!

sherwood 2021-10-07 12:31

Pretty addictive gameplay. Totally fits the theme. On another note I had weird issues with the sound getting noisy (like a white noise). Great game nonetheless !

kornel 2021-10-07 13:07

That's strange @sherwood, what OS and browser this happening on, if I may ask?

sherwood 2021-10-07 13:22

@kornel I think it is an issue with apple or safari. I just tried with another game and had the same problem. Nothing to do with your build apparently :)

kornel 2021-10-07 13:46

I heard from few people that web games work much better on apple using firefox - that might help :)

ancooper 2021-10-07 14:16

varundevs 2021-10-07 15:17

GG!! got an score of 5.8m after like 20 tries. :yum:

tricky-fat-cat 2021-10-07 16:14

Incredibly fun tiny game, which I can describe as a totally accurate loader simulator.

bjakubowski 2021-10-07 17:40

Got the record! record.PNG

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-07 17:52

@bjakubowski our first over 20 m record. Congratulations!

2021-10-07 19:35

Przechwytywanie.PNG Almost 24m. Nice game! I very liked it!

potkirland 2021-10-07 23:00

very innovative desing on tower building/balancing genre! finally you are able to correct your unfortunate placements by destroying them! that is quite nice and strategizable :clap: :clap: keep up the good work

sarah 2021-10-08 03:59

This game is such a similar idea to my game!! I love it!! The breakableness of everything is my favourite part :3

It's super fun and hilarious to see the objects just flying around. It's also amazingly fun to just smash items together >.> I wasn't very good at actually stacking items, but it was really fun!!

It sounds really great and the graphics look really cute! Overall well done everyone <3

Thanks for submitting it for me to try \o/

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-08 06:34

@sarah Thank you for playing our game and showcasing it on a stream! I'm very glad that you have enjoyed it and thank you for leaving great feedback!

ashtheevil 2021-10-08 08:16

It was a bit of a pain playing it with touchpad, because goods spinned madly. But in spite of it I had so much fun! It's a solid entry with an addictive gameplay.

leokrechmer 2021-10-08 11:44

Fun to play! Nice allusion to Ikea, with all these weird model names, and "strudy" build quality :) Pretty funny!

2021-10-08 17:19

Very sveedish, very najs. Nice game, good theme fit, very hard. I wish it registered my top height, not the height when i explode. Otherwise, very well made! I like the slots, they provide replayability

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-08 17:26

@kevlanche I'm glad that you've enjoyed it and thank you sooo much, hope you keep up with doing awesome streams!

elysiagriffin 2021-10-08 19:06

Sad I didnt get a chance to play this on my stream, but after seeing HonestDan try it out, I wanted to see what sort of high score I could get! With how hectic it can be and the very sensitive controls, Im pretty sure Id come nowhere close to this 25.08m high score while streaming haha:

Unstable.png

I love the pixel art and the feedback when you hover over the buttons or take damage. The bonus timer is nice so you have an incentive to cautiously move faster. It was a bit confusing when items would break despite being super careful with placing items down but added that extra challenge when it would make things unbalanced. Really enjoyed this entry, great job :)

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-08 19:19

@elysiagriffin I can't express how shocked i am right now. I mean, i wanted you to play my game while you were streaming but i thought to myself "well she has hundreds of games to check and she is so big and great streamer that i probably won't have my chance". And now i'm soooo happy that not only did you check it out, you have also reached a mile stone in highscores and you have beaten everyone else on the leaderboard. I'm so glad that you have enjoyed and left awesome and professional feedback. Hope we will see each other on LD50 stream and i will be able to see your reaction to our game. Thank you once more and keep up with doing incredible streams and being a excellent gamer!

haematite 2021-10-08 19:44

A great twist on a tower stacking game, really clever. I loved the Swedish furniture company theme, and the fact that dragging stuff carelessly destroyed things was just a stroke of genius. This could definitely become a popular mobile game!

james-wilson 2021-10-08 20:10

Really top entry. The physics were something to get used to I would say but not a complaint. Had a lot of fun playing this. Great stuff.

peace-of-cake-games 2021-10-08 20:16

Whew, that's not easy.... this is a spectacular game! Bonus points for the leaderboard, I always appreciate a good leaderboard. 😁

Screenshot 2021-10-08 151506.png

chuchugeralt 2021-10-08 20:33

I really did like this game. It was fun to play and i like the reference to Ikea. The only thing that bothers me was that some Furniture had real "Names" from Ikea, and some didn't lol. But that's just me and did not influence anything on the vote! Great game!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-08 20:35

@chuchugeralt i still don't know what they mean cause i didn't implement them i have to check

macron 2021-10-08 20:39

Well, the leaderboard aspect was something that bought me, unfortunately I wasn't able to get good enough score >,

laurari 2021-10-08 20:40

fun game and fits perfectly the theme!! I would suggest that the momentum the things have once you start dragging would be lower, because I kept moving them to fast and kicking everything xD good job!! :smile:

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-08 20:45

@macron You know, its 72 hours to make a game, there is no time to fix everything :(

jackaljk 2021-10-08 21:39

Interesting, so this is why stuff gets broken when delivered at home XD Nice job guys, this is fun!

arktas 2021-10-08 21:41

Everything got fineuntil I put this TV with too much motivation ^^ Got fired in one turn XD. Fun game, collisions are buggy sometime but it had a bit of unstability ^^/ Well done guys!

elysiagriffin 2021-10-08 21:59

SO, on my quest to beat my own high score, I was disappointed that the game refused to move higher up the screen until I added more items on the bottom and definitely cost me my new PB as I could only get to 24m lol >:v

Unstable2.png

fis 2021-10-08 22:25

Really solid entry - I've got only one question.

Why do I must ship explosives XD

guimoliveira 2021-10-08 23:55

Amazing game! I played for a long time, but I couldn't get past 13m. Good job.

dominium11 2021-10-09 02:15

@elysiagriffin oh that's new, didn't happen to us in testing at all, thanks for mentioning this

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-09 02:33

@elysiagriffin Im really sorry i know how dissapointed i would feel if i got this height and couldnt get past that because of a bug.

That didn't happen once while we were testing and i don't know what is causing it :( Does it always happen on this height or was it only an one time glitch?

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-09 02:52

@fis Someone has to do it am i right? :)

quite-good 2021-10-09 07:25

Great game! Almost found it more fun to smash the furniture to bits (really appreciated that each piece actually breaks apart), but once I got that outta my system I found it very satisfying getting a good ol' stack going. My main critique was that the font was sometimes very hard to read, especially the price above each object, which made it a little challenging to plan out which pieces to take (assuming that price correlates to size). Would love to see a version with some of these minor tweaks, because its got a lotta potential. Keep stacking!

idan9000 2021-10-09 09:29

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/444356333496565779/896290705796915240/unknown.png Reigning third place leaderboard champion here. I had a great time with the game, I love how the furniture breaks by specific parts, and getting to see all the swedish furniture names. Gameplay was unique and enjoyable. It felt at times like some furniture was getting sent out into the play area with too much force but I think that might've been on my end. Great game!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-09 09:59

@idan9000 Thank you! It was good to see you enjoy the game on stream and congratulations on your #3 in leaderboard.

ocena losscritic: 95/100 piekna polska gra z ogromnym potencjalem na pozostawienie duzego kawalka historii polski

2021-10-10 14:11

alexthehuman2 2021-10-10 17:57

An addicting enjoyable game where explosion goes Michael Bay and all of a sudden your tower of furniture is ruined. How dare that 1 canister ruin my day. 10/10 would play again. I find it relatively difficult to go higher by just using 1 single pillar of furnitures. Maybe some others with more patience might be able to do it, I certainly can't - still a very fun game though, so yea, great Jam game, well done!

atmospherium 2021-10-10 19:36

Nice take on the stacking theme. Trying to not blow a TV up with a gas tank definitely upped the stakes more than the "put this shape on top of another shape." Audio is great, art is engaging and gameplay is super smooth. Only complaint is the amount of springiness on pulling an item into the game area, it felt like it forced me to move slower that I'd like, by which time the object would rotate more than I'd prefer. But that's a SUPER small gripe for an otherwise fantastic entry.

wendel-scardua 2021-10-10 21:27

I think I can barely enter the leaderboard? Playing with touchpad is almost a hard mode, I think :)

ikea.png

I really like how, not only the object have durability, but it also is very clearly displayed for us, it's a nice detail.

PS: I was about to ask if IIILII meant something but I think one of the comments above already explained it (unless they're wrong, who knows)

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-10 21:47

@atmospherium Yea i also think that the starting velocity is too high and it takes time to learn.

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-10 21:47

@wendel-scardua It's a fake logo of some Swedish furniture company and also a reference to a "is this loss" meme.

wendel-scardua 2021-10-10 22:18

@adriankrawczyk I did get the IKEAish logo, what I missed was the loss reference (until I saw dwid28's comment)

birdwards 2021-10-11 02:31

ladymistleaf 2021-10-11 16:59

Putting my ability to tetris things to the test! It was fun seeing how high I could go, and I was able to make it to 8 meters, but the game is fun to both build things, and sometimes intentionally destroy things, it's fun to rotate the pieces by swinging them, the graphics were nice and the music was worked well with the game, great game!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-11 17:10

@ladymistleaf Thank you so much for trying out our game!!

haayaargh 2021-10-11 17:49

Hey guys! Great work, really well finished. I loved the simple idea and crisp pixel art.

joeshanahan 2021-10-11 19:53

I was really very bad at this game. But after practicing for a bit... I was still bad. But at least I got a non-negative score :smile:

A lot of polish here, and the humor is great too! A great entry all around!

also also, the music vaguely reminded me of this one Catherine track: https://youtu.be/-QEZ-zQXOAo

webox 2021-10-11 21:58

That's a very interesing take on the "stack objects" genre, great game, I haad aa bit of a hard time picking the alling items on some random moments. Other than that, incredibly fun, a lot of detail went on how items break and iteract with each other. Really well done!

laurenceogden 2021-10-11 23:43

Great Entry, bang on theme, explosions and things breaking. Nice variety of items and I'm glad the bigger ones could be partially broken. Also liked the little grinding particles when items rub together.

Suggestions would be that having both height and money as metrics seems a bit redundant and confusing. The money leans more into developing this into a full game but for this jam I feel like you could have cut it out. Same with the time pressure to load. For a game with this level of polish I would like a sound control menu.

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-12 05:02

@laurenceogden Yes i we do something more with this game cash will get its purpouse. And we wanted sound control menu but we didn't have enough time :(

itsboats 2021-10-12 05:16

Unstable.png

22.92m LETS GOOOO haha had a lot of fun with this! Would be cool to be able to spend your money to rerandomize your options or some other ways to spend your money

The sound effects were great too!

adriankrawczyk 2021-10-12 05:21

@itsboats Lets go its a height that even i as the creator can't do. Thank you for playing our game on stream, leaving feedback and your highscore.

wow what a game i liked it

daniel-spruill 2021-10-12 13:54

Really fun, man that initial velocity on the objects when you first click and drag kept killing me haha

flying-dog-fish 2021-10-12 21:23

Nice Ikea commercial :wink:

Anyway, a very nice and fun to play stacking game. Things breaking on impact makes it harder but funnier and more on theme.

joeshanahan 2021-10-12 21:52

I've uploaded my playthrough to YouTube, if you'd like to check it out it's here! :smile:

loig 2021-10-13 10:05

Very nice! Good idea, and the whole atmosphere of it makes me want to play more. I will definitely try again as soon as I have a bit of time!

meritcoding 2021-10-13 15:16

the game is nice but was a bit hard

aslan 2021-10-13 17:38

Very satisfying. I did not even try to load furniture, I constantly threw them on the floor. Wish there was an endless game mode.

witchhat 2021-10-15 20:20

Great job! It's quite fun to juggle the furniture the right way without being too fast. I think the difficulty is very good for a "possibly endless" game.

zimny11 2021-10-15 22:01

Awesome game! I had a great time playing it. The graphic for all objects are rally well done and the music sounds so good. Great job! I think, not bad for my first try :P

Bez tytułu.png

mhorth 2021-10-16 00:38

As others have said, this was really enjoyable. I wanted to keep going for high scores, but my strategy was blocked. I tried just putting all big blocky shapes in a single vertical column, and when it reached the top of the screen, the camera did not move up, so I couldn't go any higher.

Maybe that's intended so we have to fill out more of a base? I was kinda bummed but I guess that's fair haha.

human-writes-code 2021-10-16 04:11

Excellent work! Great game with a lot of polish and some real value adding details (such as prop damage). I was absolutely terrible at it. I loved the Seinfeld-esque intro music and enjoyed the game overall!

0x-void-x0 2021-10-16 08:46

I love the idea of this game combo counter was also a good choice it prevents me from playing like a baby (which is haaard lol), must admit in the end I couldn't resist voluntarily destroying everything. well done guys!

coolestdoggie 2021-10-16 14:50

I'm obsessed with the game! It was phenomenal for genre like tower-making! So cool music and graphics!

Easy and a game that I could see myself get easily addicted to. Super good graphics and really fun physics. Got some really cool moments with last second clutches in order to keep my tower steady.
