Fun take on the classic style of jenga building stacking styled games (not sure what they are actually called xD). I love how the llamas are for some reason being farmed in the city.

Nice concept, i managed to get around height 12. Had a fun time playing this

Honestly? I just want more. I want to be able to rotate my lammas before placing them, I want to get weird Llammas that are spread out weird, I want legless Llammas, I want llamas with too many legs, I want a sheep to show up. I want a funny voice making puns. This game is already so radicicols I really just want more of that.

But the fact that I want more I think is a good thing. A very funny and cute base game that I could 100% see myself playing a lot if it got a lot of new features.

Hilarious concept, I never thought I would be stacking llamas but here we are. Things like the camera moving up smoothly, and the color of the llamas changing while they are waiting to be stabilized are the small touches that really elevate the overall quality of the game. Well done!

Cool game, got to 18.5 after killing a lot of llamas. It would have been cool to have a button to zoom out and see the entire tower but I enjoyed it.

I'm a sad excuse for a llama farmer... my llamas only made it up to floor 4. Such a simple but funny and well execute concept!

best llama stacking game i've every played

This was cool! We almost did a stacking game as well. I like that the line moves so you can't just place them anywhere. The shape of the animal also makes it a challenge to stack them, good choice there. The fact that they call off of the edge is smart too so you can't just make a pile. I would have liked to see a more shaped hitbox though, it felt like that was messing me up a little bit. Also, a height display of some kind would have been good!

I made it almost to the top of the screen.

As terrible as I am with the game, I enjoyed it. Love the concept. Fits the theme really well. Good job!

I don't know if the ability to insert a Llama into another Llama was an intentional game play decision, but i'm glad it exists.

Got to height of 9. Reminds of the games where you had to build a house of blocks C: Nice!

Nice pun on the theme, that gets you 5 stars on that one! Pretty simple quick fun, even though lacking a bit of variety. Even adding differently sized llamas in there could have spiced it up a bit.

I appreciate the straight forward UI experience and the border to prevent llama placement, though I've noticed it's still possible to stack and even clip llamas into each other if you drag really fast while they're still blue. It also gets really tense as the tower grows really tall. At least the llamas being solid, non-animating, hard-body objects made the experience feel predictable. Any frustration I felt were stuff I blamed on myself.

I did feel the lack of sound took away from the experience. It would be nice to see some extra polish in this game, especially in the game feel department. Still, enjoyable while the experience lasted.
