Unstable Tower

Really fun and unique, but sometimes you just feel like crushing those infuriating little simulated climber dudes! Seriously though, great entry! :)

Cool little game! I like the graphics and the game plays pretty well! It is a bit difficult though, as you mentioned. Wish you could get rocks faster, the little ones feel useless haha

really fun and addictive, after having a climber nearly reach the rope only for another one to knock the whole tower down, I really just wanted to launch those little bastards into the stratosphere.

I got one:) Very relaxing experience. I like the way they move the stones. I think coding this behaviours was fun. Respect for COMPO!

Really nice! I always can't beat this kind of games (in this time the same)
It is great that someone make game on Compo from scratch with C++
Good job :)

Hahahahahahha I really had fun in this one. This is the second tower builder I reviewed. And this one is really revaled the beast in me. I can kill all those little mans all day long with throwing rocks at them :D

nice

this rules, dude. I feel like a horrible cruel god even though it's their own fault for knocking over the tower

Hahaha this game is really funny to play. great work. Remind me a game I have played on smartphone few years ago this the tower of Babel.

Super cool game, and nice graphics! Seeing these little guys climbing on everything like ants was fun.
Feels bad crushing them when it collapse. Great job!

Man this was surprisingly difficult for me. I love a game with a simple premise that ends up being deeper than it first appears. This is the right kind of frustrating. That damn rope just keeps slipping away! Considering this is a C++ compo, I am impressed.

You weren't kidding! I love the way the little climbers jostle and knock down the tower - they totally look like ants. I _think_ I have the right strategy - pick the right stones and build a tower straight up, yes? I assume that the rules are set up in such a way to make building a pyramid not work, since too many guys die from fall damage before it gets tall enough.

Underplayed game! Loved every bit of it, from the way the little people climb, to the first time you accidently the whole thing, to the awesome blend of photographs and drawings :D Thank you for this glorious addictiion! :D

Nice game! Very funny, and well made. Love the little guys

nice game, grabbing stone have a really weird hitbox with my mouse, maybe thats just me

Great take on the theme! Its really fun trying to make a good tower for them to climb on or just use the rocks to smash the little guys to pieces. Makes you feel like a god! :D

VERY good game! great idea that matches the theme. made well. not too hard not too easy.
BUT the graphics are a bit scuffed and its hard to see things. other than that highest rating i've given yet.

juicer game :thumbsup:

The game fits the theme well, and I like the art.
It gives me benevolent rope god vibes.

The only problem I have is clicking and dragging rocks is a bit hard to do.

This was a surprising nice game. Cool graphics and I loved the climbing feature of the people.
I think the game is a little too forgiving when dropping the blocks in that is was actually quite difficult to squish the little guys (eventually I tried to do it on purpose to test the mechanic).
Very cool for a compo entry. As others have said, maybe the only real improvement would be the mouse controls (difficult to click and 'placement' of blocks would sometimes jump). I couldn't hear any sounds in the game?

*ninja edit* great to see games made with things other than unity/unreal too.

@lintfordpickle Thanks!
First proper bugs I hear about. Good to get comments on this. I have not experienced jumping of blocks. Was this while shaking things around a lot or boxes that were still?
Regarding sound. I use OpenAl to play sounds and some computers have a problem with this. Including the .dlls in the game folder, as provided in the download helps for some. Should help with installing OpenAl in case these drivers never have been installed earlier (often used in other games). Would be very nice to hear if you solved it since I have problem finding those who cant hear the sound for debugging :)
