Very clean and polished game! Smart thinking with giving the players a reward for spinning more, and also interesting mechanic with the freezing of the tower, also nice balancing that it gets more expensive! Only thing I was missing was some kind of objective, maybe something as simple as a made up highscore/leaderboard, other than that, great game and creative mechanic!
Fun game. I enjoyed it, and it had an interesting take on the theme. Nice job! One small suggestion: I think the game would work better if the camera panned out as your tower grows.
The art style and take on the classic Tetris is so inventive and cool! Can defo see this, or a version of on steam tbh
Cute, reminds me of Tricky Towers! It plays pretty smoothly, my only major complaint is that I wish the camera would pan back down if you tried to move your piece anywhere but the top of your structure. I also didn't really realize what the coins were for for a bit, it would be cool if that system got fleshed out a little. Overall, I had a lot of fun! My pb is 169m :) banger game
Thanks so much for playing! The coins are for the freeze button but I agree that I should probably teach that beforehand! Thanks for playing :)
Cute game and has some difficulty to master!
Great idea! Makes me think of like very high quality flash games from coolmathgames' main page. Plays, looks and sounds super nice. Cool to see another "spin" at a tetris inspired game in this jam. Good job!
Very fun! My favorite strategy was purposely toppling my tower so I can freeze it and make a staircase to support my next few blocks. It ends up with such a crazy looking tower at the end lol, I love it.
Placing blocks feels satisfying, partially due to the sound effects but also the colors and physics of the blocks are fun.
I just wish the pieces that had gaps gave you more room to fit smaller blocks in them, there were some cases where it looks like a perfect fit and it just gets caught very easily. Or maybe the physics could be tweaked so they slip in better?
Also, the spinning to get money thing felt a bit like a checkbox rather than a challenge. It happens instantly, so there's no reason not to just spin the mouse slightly every time a new block comes in. I don't think this is a big issue though, more of a personal nitpick than anything.
Thanks so much for playing, and I really appreciate your feedback I'll make sure to add some changes to the physics in the future to make the slipping easier. Thanks so much for playing again!
Wonderful game! It has a really really good balance between strategically placing blocks and .. just hoping for the best! I am still too bad to get a good score, but i am working on it :)
What a lovely game! It seems familiar though, I think there is a party game similar to this
Fun game! I think I only got to 100 m or something but it was pretty good! I liked the sounds and the art style is really nice too! Overall I think it's a very cool game and very replayable so nice! The only thing is that I didn't get to figure out how the freze thing works but other than that good game!
Very relaxing audio and good visual, fun idea overall. I didnt get what the time thing is and sticking some weird shaped tiles together was a bit challange, serious job right there
i really like this, i think its really creative use of the theme! the audio is VERY satisfying in my opinion, i really like hearing the boxes clack together:D
im honestly really bad at it tho lmao, the controls dont come very intuitively to me
really good job tho:3
Just when you think there can't possibly be anymore ways to spin Tetris into something new... But this version of Jenga tetris feels very natural, I really like it
Very cute fun game to pick up! Was simple and well executed! Love the simple art style as well, congrats on the game!
Moments after disaster...
Really enjoyed the game! You could maybe could add some arrow key support? It was a bit tough with a trackpad but definitely still doable
it wont let me post a picture so imagine like 10 blocks falling at once
Super fun and easy to figure out! I love it.
Very cool but i dont understand what the coins or time button do
Have received feedback that it could be clearer, and I debated back and forth during the design process if it made sense to explicitly say anything. Coins help you buy the freeze button that effectively freezes all the blocks that are already in the tower, thus allowing you to try cool new structures and save progress!
This was awesome, good visuals, good sfx and music, instructions were clear and I really enjoyed it. Matched the theme quite well, awesome work!
Had fun playing this, though I kinda suck at it lol
