I get the following error:

Nice concept, hard and fun :)

Physic based games are always fun and this is no exception!

Good execution and fits the unstable theme well!

fun game, a cute baby elephant here would add the ultimate goal and it will be great!

Cute little game. My strategy was to build on the left instead of the elephant, as it still counts, but didn't realize after I looked at your screenshot again that you can stitch items with elephant, that's great!

A fun game. Good job.

It's a really damn hard game I gotta admit. The game relates to the theme quite well! Good job overall~

Awesome concept, it was really fun ! Also loved the cute artstyle

Very charming art work. Fits the theme and the height change audio feedback was a great touch!

This was understated and hilarious. I like how absolutely no context was given for why I am stacking beating hearts, refrigerators, and snakes on top of an elephant on a tightrope.

On a more serious note, the gameplay is actually pretty fun, and I especially liked the swaying of the elephant on the tightrope when you change the weight balance of the structure, it felt really responsive. I stacked up till 33 meters, mostly using vertical snakes and nailed planks (sorry snakes).

My only grouse was that when you try put an object back down onto the cliff it sometimes falls into the abyss anyway, which was a bit annoying. It would also have been nice to have specific sounds for each object, like a squishy sound when placing the heart, for example.

Great work, and I had a good laugh and some meditative fun :)

This game is so much fun, and also difficult! Maybe if you spice it up with some funny circus music, and it would be perfect :D

Great game love the concept! although in future would recommend starting off with easier objects then getting harder as the plants and fruit are quite difficult to start with. well done!

Add a gold or a shop for additional upgrades will be more funny to play. May suitable for multi-player mode like cooperation or competitive mode.

Really fun. I tried to build a large platform to be more stable but i couldn't go very high as there was too much weight XD. Great game!

The game is quite funny, I did not expect to be stacking random objects on a tightrope walking elephant today, but now I have done it and it has made my day lol. I would say that the game is a bit difficult, and there is not a lot of space for the player to succeed, so maybe make easier levels and then make it progressively harder. Also, the controls were a bit sluggish. Other than that, fun and funny game, good luck!

Cool idea. Reminds me the good old days of flash games.

louiejams 2021-10-05 13:21

So so fun! I Played this so many times! Very fun and entertaining entry!

totteriludum 2021-10-05 13:23

Good execution! The precise collision detection makes the game very player-friendly! Though, I do agree with @acidicdonkey above that maybe it would be easier for the player to start off with more simple shapes. But that is only if you want to make the game easier :p

Good job!

The addition of the boards makes this a bit more tactical and interesting than some other similar games, I like it! (nailing things to elephants notwithstanding)

njs 2021-10-05 16:34

👍 Perfection.

drsmey 2021-10-05 17:28

Very hard to come up with good strategy for this one, but that's what makes it so fun. Its chaotic and fun in the best way and a great take on the theme.

noctiluca 2021-10-05 20:31

Can't stop playing, really funny concept!

daspikeyboss 2021-10-06 02:37

Very Nice! Stacking objects is one of the more obvious takes on the them but you do it really well with the hilarious idea of stacking things on an elephant on a tightrope :laughing: At first I forgot that you could connect items but once I worked it out it was really good. I love how you did so may different types of items like the balloon that aren't just static items.

The biggest issue I noticed was that often when I tried to connect objects my browser sent me to another tab (maybe it's just my browser that's weird though)

Overall a really great job!

glaciereclipse 2021-10-10 11:03

Really creative and funny concept! I enjoyed stacking objects up and attaching them to each other. It created a very interesting challenge the more objects you got. Great entry!
