Its simple but really fun! I love it, and hope to have more level :D

Pretty fun, though it could definitely use some more levels. With adapted controls it could make for a fairly good mobile game.

A very simple and effective concept! The tension felt while watching the block slowly lean over and reset the timer in stage 3 was a lot.

I always fall for the pixel-art-ish non-antialiased lines, and I've seen a lot of the physics based theme interpretations, this one is really good, nice job! The game keeps the tension up all the time

so obviously the theme unstable lends itself to physics games but this, i think, was a really unique take a little addictive even. I'd like more but I'm also not sure how you would add more without it losing its charm.

Great concept and fun game. And it was a surprisingly tense experience (so many close calls, especially on the third shape :D). I think that the graphics work really well, and all the details add a lot to the experience. The constant screenshake does a lot to sell you on the unstable theme, and even though it is constant it is not annoying at all. It's quite a challenge to achieve that (I am sometimes guilty of adding waaay too much screenshake to my games).

And I like the particle effects that appear when the shape hits the floor :D

Really fun! Couldn't complete the 3rd level though haha 😁

A great concept here and well executed ( although it would be awesome if the curve wasn't quite so steep lol) maybe add a few more levels between 1 and 2 to ease into the really hard stuff. Loved the concept and very cleanly made

Great fun! I love the shaking border and actually having a timer running makes it exciting and action packed. I don't have a twitter but I think I got quite lucky on the first playthrough with this scoreScreenshot (926).png

The simplest and most amazing game I've seen!

How long is it realistic to pass the third figure)?

That was fun! I like the raw minimalistic style, with the satisfying camera shake and all that polish :) Why don't the objects collide with the sides? Ith would be more consistent that way I think. But that's a minor thing. The game is simple, but well executed.

@suchista thanks for playing! It's so that you can't make the objects lean on a wall 😄 that would make it too easy

07:46.35 - I definitely did not think I was going to get that third one, but I finally got it! Very fun and simple game. I like the aliased pixel aesthetic and I loved the timer bar at the bottom! It provides the perfect amount of tension when you get close and satisfaction when you beat it. Very cool game! :D

Simple and effective take on the theme! Great job

Super minimalist retro design with little details, I like it very much! The last shape is very difficult to balance 😅 please add more of them!

nice game! simple, thematic concept, executed well. Love2D gang represent 😎

Simple, yet challenging and addictive. Glad to see Love2D is still alive and kicking. Good job adding screen shake and sound effects.
