The atmosphere is excellent, especially thanks to the music and sound effects. Some additional feedback for the player’s actions would make it even better.

Thanks for playing! I actually played your game!

Congrats for your game ! :)

Stacking things feels good, and not having a lose condition was a good call I think

In the current state of the game, there's no incentive to use every object, and you can just discard what you don't like and use the cars and big boxes that are easy to stack. Some ideas on how you could improve that :
- having wind that shakes your structure, to encourage you to build wider
- having some sort of penalty for every item that falls from the platform ? (but that goes a bit against the idea of a chill game)
Food for thought !

Developer

thanks! I was actually going add some wind/gust the more you go up but I had trouble actually implementing it so I had to postpone that

Really nice and simple, I think it would be nice if there was something like the rubber duck quacking when you place it down. I think it is really relaxing, because you can't really loose, usually I don't like that but I think in this case it is good.

Developer

thanks for the idea! I deliberately did not add any losing condition due to the account losing all the progress you made can be frustrating

Developer

thanks!

It's cool to see a game similar to the one I submitted, nice idea! I unfortunately was unable to reach the stratosphere on account of not being good enough at stacking but I think that the concept overall is interesting. Nice work!

Developer

thanks! yours was good too!
