Thanks ! The team will appreciate it !

You guys made this in just 3 days?!?!?!??!!? THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED IN THIS GAME JAM. The graphics is superb, and the idea fits really well with the theme. I would suggest making a 1 player mode as some people don't have friends(maybe me?) but really well done!

Hi @joseph-tan ! Thanks ! Yeah we did ahah, lot of work tho, thank you very much :)

The graphics are nice! I think that, even in the image here is clear the objective, in the game itself is not very clear what are the conditions to win

Very nice art and the music fits well to the game. I actually found it pretty hard to reach the victory line. Nice touch with the "decision line" moving up with tower height.

I think sound effect would have added a lot. E.g. when pieces collide or your tower falls.

Nice game! I gave my best but I only could reach about 6 meters before every piece decided to fall down. I think it lacks the ability to rotate the pieces. Also maybe it's a bit too fast. But the option to clean the surface was a great addition!

@biku thanks! Yeah would have been great to show the victory line at the start of the game :)
@nikl thanks! It's pretty hard ahah, physics were kinda wobbly... Sure I would have love to implement some sound effects, our sound designer was legit godlike
@juanlu thanks ! Yeah it's really hard ahah, sure !

Cool idea, local multiplayer games are rare nowadays. The intro Artwork is extremely impressive and the the premise is very dark in a positve way even though the aesthetic clashes a bit with the main game. I also liked the music alot, but a few sound effects could make the main game feel more "alive". Very cool game!

Hey @adrijanc thanks for playing the game ! Yeah the artist is really really good, we had the artworks after we decided to go for the main game style but I really wanted to include everything the team did in the game. So we found a little humouristic trick to made the gods feel like they were bored ^^

Fun game with charming graphics. I especially loved that intro! A minor thing for me is that it was really hard to be precise placing my blocks and the indicator seemed off and would only check from the center of the block. Cool submission!

@goldenevolution thanks for the review ! Yeah it's exactly that, I tried some things to get it better but didn't work enough in the end...

Cool twist on a tetris concept. The mythological angle is engaging.

Great entry, it reminds me Tricky Tower but in 3D! Good combination of music and graphisms, well done :smile:

I like this idea. It has a lot of potential

This was pretty fun! I played it with my brother (I won both times)... The opening cutscene story thing was super cool, and the gameplay worked pretty well. Sometimes the visual indicators of where the things were going to drop was a bit messed up though, so that was a little frustrating. We had fun playing this, so props to you!
