I might have been doing something wrong but depending on the random platform I built, sometimes I was unable to double jump up to it, so I wasn't able to get very far. But for only having one day for the jam this was really well done!

I like the idea! I was also stuck sometimes, and I didn't understand the stability metric at first because I wasn't paying attention to the tilting landscape, and the tower & physics remained vertical. But overall the art and gameplay is pretty good, especially for a one day game.

Interesting idea but seems pretty hard. At some point I wasn't able to reach the tools anymore.
Missing a restart key to quikcly restart the game.

This is cool I like how you can tell how much the tower is tilting based on the horizon. The platforming controls were excellent! I think if I spent some more time with it I would get better but as is I could only get 5 builds and 1 upgrade and then I got stuck several times. Its really cool and I'm impressed. Nice work!

It took me a while to figure out what you're supposed to do, but after that it was fun.
Nice game!

It was pretty difficult, a reset button might be a good idea like @barrier said, I had to put one in my game because it was a buggy mess sometimes as well. lol!

Really different and interesting, well done. However, it seemed to be inevitable that you end up in a position that you can't get to the next build pickup at some point. Or perhaps that was just me lacking in skill?

This was a fun little game, very impressive for such a tight deadline! I've always liked this idea of "build it yourself" platformers.

The way the horizon shows your tilt feels like a double-edged sword. On the wone hand, it was an interesting way to show the direction of tilt while still being able to preserve your platform's gravity and controls, and I think that's brilliant. On the other hand, I'm not used to thinking of tilt from that perspective, and I struggled to realize which direction I was tilting in - which was particularly punishing since you have such a tight window to correct it.

Reflexively, I kept wanting to press ESC to toggle out of build mode. That does some bad things to the browser player though lol

All in all, I liked the game though. The controls are quite tight, it feels good to move the player around. And it's just got this pleasant look to it too.

Cute game. Tilting mechanic was a bit confusing. A nice improvement would be if the game would auto-exit build mode after building something.
