A soothing and calm game. I wasn't sure what to do at first since there's no instructions. Am I supposed to stack objects or keep the pile a low as possible, or should I sort the objects. But the score board at the end cleared things up. Just stacking things can be quite fun :-)

Fun little game, cute graphics!

We played it with three people and we really enjoyed it. Well done!

I've seen a few stacking games in the jam and this is among the best ones. The physics make sense, objects behave like you would expect. I also like that you get a chance to recover and your drop counter goes down again if you manage to stabilize. Great job! :)

I was wondering why the odd selection of hotkeys for menu and fullscreen...

It was a little hard to click some of the items, but I like the funny item selection and the lighting. :)

I appreciated the eclectic object types in the stack. I, initially, wasn't sure what the small count-down timer was after objects dropped off the central platform.

very fun to stack pieces, I liked the variety of objects. The graphics are very cool.

Very smooth gameplay! The purpose of the timer that started when something touched the ground was unclear, though, and could use some explanation in the main menu.

Well done!

I say a stacking game is an easy way out with the theme, but of course your spin makes it really unique out there on how forgiving it is! However, I just wish I could ignore the items on parachutes and have it not count on the KO counter.

Not going to lie, the graphics and the vibe reminds me of "Getting Over It by Bennett Foddy"! Good work!

I've played several stacking games in this jam, but this was by far the best feeling. The mood was great, the camera adjustments to the current stack size were really clean. You took a simple idea and knocked it out of the park.

One mechanic I'd like to see added (taken from another stacking game I played earlier) would be if initial clicked location became the rotation/dragging pivot point, this adds some strategy to where you click on objects initially in a way that I think would add just a little more strategy to this without complicating it.

Enjoyable stacking game. Points for the UI overall. I had trouble dragging some of the items, maybe because they were too high? Not sure. Good work!

Great physics based gameplay! Had fun with this one!

It's fun! The items put on the table(?) were really unstable hahaha
