Welcome to SkyTris

The city has decided to build a skyscraper that no one has, so they are looking for a specialist. Test your skills and build the largest possible building and become a construction specialist.

Controls

- Use the left/right arrow to move sideways
- Use the top/down arrow for rotating block
- Use the Space bar for release the block
- Esc for pause game

Be careful with blocks that fall off the platform. Only 16 blocks can fall like this.

Please submit your score at the end so we can see who was the best builder.

Enjoy the game.

Reminds me of Tricky Towers, cool game

Always Love this Kind of Games! Makes me spend hours trying to reach the heights.

To have started with those Foundations I would add some more interesting mechanics that give a twist to the style, but overall is a Classic and Fun Game

Loved the mechanics!! Really nice use of Tetris and use of the theme!

I was doing so well until a chain reaction started and i lost half my lifes haha, fun stacking game.

Tetris where the blocks aren't on a grid and can end up tilted at funny angles?! You sir, are a monster! Bravo!

Really cool twist on a classic! Nice entry!

Nice! I got a height of 153. Cool to see you have leaderboards! My tower was really tall and slanted. Very unstable, haha.

Pleasant control, but I would like to WASD. Looks good. Physics in the game is perfected. Nice soothing music.

Cool game, wished sometimes, that it was a little more precise.

I felt like I was getting off to a really good start, and then just like with Tetris, one mistake snowballed into another, and another... and then everything fell apart :sweat_smile:

I've seen a couple of block stacking games so far this ldjam, but this one was really well executed, I didn't feel rushed so it was pretty calming to play

I've uploaded a recording of my playthrough that you can see here at 02:02

Nice simple game, good job! I think it would be a bit better if the blocks moved faster, but besides that the gameplay is good!

I like the leaderboard, fun to see how our scores compared with others! Gameplay-wise, it's very similar to another game called Tricky Towers.

This is a great concept, one tiny thing that bothered me though, was how the corners so easily snagged, making putting a piece in a tight spot almost never worth the risk. If the pieces had slightly rounded corners, things might slip into place, and it would feel very satisfying. Besides that though, this is great!
