Topple Tower is a puzzle adventure for LD47, "Stuck in a Loop"!
Climb a teetering tower to help a buddy out! Looks like an easy puzzle game, but you'll find yourself stuck in a loop if you don't think outside the box.

Such a fun game. I think the first time I played it some rocks fell off while I was figuring it out but after I got the hang of it I was able to make it up to the top. Very clever loop. I need to go back to find out how to break the loop. The pause menu didn't show my mouse cursor and while clicking to move the camera around the mouse was escaping the window were a couple of minor issues I ran into. Overall had lots of fun.

@tort60091 I'm working on making a Mac build! Having issues with the engine not letting me package for Mac... but I won't give up just yet :)

The game is really fun, the idea is brilliant, smooth mechanics, gameplay.
The only thing I would change is the amount of text on the screen, when I started playing I wanted to close the game just because I had to read so much, anyway amazing game.

A fun game which got quite tricky at times. I like the idea of combining the gems, but I got a bit confused that I had a very dark blue gem and a black gem just before the white. Either way this was quite fun and looked really nice. Well done!

Great game, graphics are cutes ! I was just a bit annoyed by the impossibility to grasp gems while rock is moving. I'll try to find a way to break the loop. I have an idea but it might not even be possible.
Thanks ! Edit : My idea was right :D

There are a lot of games with lack of tutorial/advices and its annoying to spend lot of time trying to understand how a game works. This game does it so well that its pleasant to play

It was fun to play. It was like a 3D 2048 game and I like those games. Sometimes picking up rocks you touch is kinda hit or miss but other than that Great Game!

I keep getting a CTD that is making it unplayable after about 5-10 seconds. :-( Too bad it looks and sounds really great.

ooh that was so fun! loved the way the character jumped around (too cute) and the audio design + music was amazing, great job!
the gameplay loop (hehe) was solid too, sometimes i accidentally tilted the tower so that the rock that i had kept on one place ended up falling to the void (oh noo).

some criticism would be that the fading to black and restart was a bit confusing at first for i didn't know why it happend or what it meant, but after a while i fifured out that the little guy just fell from the tower and i lost :D
also at points the camera was maybe a bit too close, but that's just opinion. other than that, great stuff!

Really fun concept! I have never really seen anything like this before! My one issue was that the text scrolled a bit too fast and I had some trouble understanding what to do at first. I think the information being conveyed could be a little more clear. But really fun once I got it and cool visuals and sound!

That was a cute game! Liked the concept a lot, I did get a bug where I put one of my stones into the tower so I couldnt finish it. I did on my second go, I liked the ending.

Other than the ending the theme didn't really fit I think. Still, well done!
