A small game (made in 6 hours) that uses my own physics engine (not made in 6 hours).

Actually it’s more of a small tech demo. Unfortunately it turns out my engine can’t handle arbitrary meshes well enough yet, but well maybe next time!

Stack spheres to create the highest (signal) tower!

As far as the game goes - its barebones (as you already said) and its definitely more of a tech demo to show off your physics engine - but, which by the ways, is incredibly cool!

This was okay, but I don't see much gameplay. But it's fine for something made in 6 hours.

Thanks for the feedback :). It's true, the game itself isn't much of a game. It was more an experiment to see in which areas my physic engine still lacks when actually creating something with it.

Nice physics engine

Rate my tower:

@ionax OMG such a cool tower!! 4.37/5

its actually so cool to build your own physics system!

Great job

Really cool, I've also been working on a physics engine recently as a hobby project, so respect to you for implementing it

@cloverfall That's awesome, what kind of physics? When I started building my physics engine I had no idea that 2 years later I would still be working on it :D It gets complicated fast

LDJam user 31290021 Apr 2026, 04:54

@timo5034 started with 2D for now. Looking to go into more in depth constraints, got the basics but yeah. It really is a time investment

Cool physics demo, would have been great seeing just a tiny bit more of a game, eg something like build X high to make a signal tower with one or 2 more block types.

@sharky3188 Thanks for the feedback! I did plan to do something like that, but unfortunately my engine doesn't handle stacking other shapes well yet, so I had to stick to spheres.

Good for a demo. Need to be able to invert y though.

Pretty cool physics engine! Always a nice feeling to make your own stuff!

Great physics and very nice idea of the jenga tower game. I like it.

For a short tech demo this was really fun! The physics seem really intuitive and responsive, so kudos for that! I just wish I could place/remove pieces with the mouse button instead of the space bar

@paroxysmal Thanks for mentioning that, I didn't even consider it. If I build such controls in the future, I'll add it.

@niterich Ooh yeah you're right left click would have been a much better choice :D Thanks!
