Nice game!
This game looks great! The water looks really cool and the physics were fun to play with. I was pleasantly surprised by how forgiving it was with your spider automatically going to the highest point. I like the variety of objects, but with so many slots, I found myself only using the rectangular ones.
It's an unexpected interpretation of the theme. Good work!
In my view, you should increase difficulty, i.e. water should pour faster. And it will be cool to see how the little spider tries to achieve the top of the tower :)
An really original interpretation of the theme, and it's a lot of fun. Congrats!
I like the feeling of a little game at home, the tune caught the same mood. Physics felt pretty good and it's vibrant and well presented graphically. My best score was 227, forgive me for not being able to save the spider. : (
Simple but fun game, I did not get very far though! At times it would've been nice if I could've rotated objects, which as far as I know is not possible at the moment. Being able to pretty aggressively push things around while in 'placement mode' didn't help either. However making one big pile of messy physics objects was still pretty enjoyable!
By the way I don't know if it's a web browser issue or game issue, but the mouse cursor seems to randomly disappear when playing the webplayer game in fullscreen, requiring changing window focus to fix it.
What a charming game! It took me a little to get ahold of the controls, but once I did I found it very fun stacking up items as high as I could and enjoying the music and vibes while trying my best to save this spider. There's something so chaotic to the way i ended up carelessly throwing all the triangular things into the corner while I made my box empire, even though it never got me too far. Very intuitive and fun to play! I felt so bad whenever I dropped a cutting board right on top of my spider lmao 🕷
Nice water shader you have here! The items drop really hard, but I guess that is intentional.
Here is my playtest:

Indeed your game has some similarities to ours. We also thought about doing our game in 3D for a seconds, but then decided it would be too much work. I'm happy to see that you succeeded in that. I guess in the end our games are a bit different, but I also really enjoyed playing this stacking game.
This game is adorable! It took me a bit to get the hang of the controls but once i got comfy it was very fun to play :)
