It's a round based 2 player game. Players must add shapes to the grid to build a tower. If a shape falls onto the floor (outside from the platform) the game is over.
This game was made with haxe, openfl, nape physics and babylonhx.
UPDATE:
I made an updated post build.
fixed time waiting bug (players had to wait until the tower stops "wobbling").
That was just 3 lines of added code. So the build is exactly the same, just with the fix.

UPDATE2:
New Version added. That's an post compo update and doesn't represent the LD35 entry. It has slightly better graphics and a TILT function, where players can tilt the table once per game. To tilt, hit the Space Bar.
I changed the game mechanics, I think it's much better than the original build.
UPDATE3:
Updated new version again. Game now has a bot to play against. You have no chance.
That's a really cool concept :) Just had a go with my daughter and she really enjoyed it too. We both started out just placing square blocks in a hope that we wouldn't lose... then we both started going on the offensive! >:D
This is fun! Kind of like reverse Jenga. The constraint on placement in the grid really makes you think a bit. Definitely could be a lot of fun to play with a friend.
I actually had quite a bit of fun with this, seeing which shapes would support each other and trying to get a tall stack. The only ugly thing about the game to me was the text, which would be an easy fix.
I'd like to see this developed more, as I think it has the potential to be a fun two player game - something we don't get much of on LD. Well done! :)
Thanks for the comments. What annoys me at most on my game is that the player have to wait until the program "knows" that the tower will not fall. That's frustrating sometimes, but I totally overlooked the possibility that I can "look into the future" with the physics engine. So this waiting forever could be reduced to zero.
Great! I only played it one player but it is entertaining. At first I thought it was ugly but when I realized there was physics it won me over. Great little game, I love the safety ledge and keeps it different from Jenga. Good work!
Only bug I saw was sometimes pieces would wobble for a long time and not advance the game until it was done. (Just read the other comments and it has been addressed)
I really like the Game its a nice idea and physics :) Its a hard game too what I think is nice :) Great job!!!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
I didn't have anyone else to play with, but I had a good time trying to build towers so they wouldn't fall over!
One thing I noticed was that if you build for long enough, it's possible to make it so the other player can't place blocks at all, and the game doesn't seem to recognise this state. Of course, there's always the reset button, so that's not too much trouble!
