Your goal is to stack as many blocks as possible without them all toppling over. It's harder than it sounds, though, the tower starts to become unstable fast, especially once you have to start dealing with effects that will impact how you place the blocks.

All you need to do is press SPACE to drop a block onto the tower.

Music made entirely by me.

Made for Ludum Dare 49, with the theme "Unstable".

I could only get to like 12. If you try to build a pyramid, the camera pans out of view pretty quick so you can't see where you're dropping blocks. Makes strategy pretty hard. But with a bit of polish I could see this being a good casual mobile game. :smile:

I like hardcore games)) not a bad idea, but the implementation is weak (
I didn't like her twitching, but it added more difficulty to the passage.
Nice work anyway)

I like the speed of the game, and stacking stuff quickly is always fun!
However, it would be nice if the camera zoom out a bit, so the player could see what the stack looks like as it grows. It becomes difficult to gauge the stack once it goes out of frame.

I find the jerking camera motions a bit disorientating espically since you have such a limited view of your boxes. Smoother transitions and some kind of overall view would help out a lot I think.

the speed was cool for sure, i agree with @ideaspersecond the camera gave me some difficulty but it was pretty fun to play.

I see we had similar ideas with this theme :laughing:
Like the others, I think the camera could use some work, but overall a very solid approach.

okay game but the rough camera shifts could use some work

Neat core mechanic with some polish issues that make it a bit tough to play, like the camera running away from the top of the tower if you miss a few times. The music is really good and while the graphics are barebones the colours fit well and set a nice, relaxing mood along with the audio. c:

it's a classic game but it is well done.
The song fits the mood, and although the graphics aren't super detailed, it feels rather cartoony which I do like, the look is cool.
I did notice a few glitches though, for one sometimes the boxes randomly rotate which might've been intentional but it doesn't feel like it was.
And also you can spam the space button to get a high highscore easily, without the glitch I got to 9 or 10 [as I was putting the 10th box it fell], and with the glitch I got 21.
Anyway all in all a cool game, fun, and I like the vibe, the song and the aesthetics, good job!
