  • This is an amazing entry!!!

Godot version used
4.6.3 and 4.7.2

What device(s) was used for development
Pico 4. Any modern PCVR headset should work (Quest 3, Pico 4, Steam Frame, etc), but untested because I am not rich. Standalone is also supported if you visit the page from your headset's browser, and there is a ARM64 build which should theoretically work on Steam Frame standalone (but may have performance issues)

Super cool concept. Building the tower was very satisfying!

I tested via WebXR on Quest 2 and did notice some performance issues but it was still playable.

Remids me of Tentacular.  I like the little grabber model and water. The native steam frame build worked for me too, thanks for building that.

Fun playing the game! Looks really polished. The sound effects and visuals are awesome. On web it does lag at the beginning couple times but after that very smooth experience.

Random suggestions:

  • make it mixed reality so i could just build the lighthouse literally on my desk.
  • add a benchmarks. for example after finishing the lighthouse, you click “test”. And it tests how strong is it (wind, storm, earthquake)

This one is wonderful! Very polished, cool concept, looked really nice (and played well even on the WebXR version on Meta Quest 3). It was super hard and occasionally frustrating, but I think that's more of a "me problem" :-) Great work!

Thank you for playing! Yeah the game is definitely difficult at first, it's not just a you problem :P Good to know it played well on Meta Quest 3, I don't own one so couldn't test on it.

My favourite game so far. The welding really lifts it. The movement is comfy. Audio is approriate. I appreciate the lack of a timer. The only thing I would suggest is a mixed reality mode where you don’t draw all the water, maybe a fade out or a faux reflection on top.

Honestly just get this on the various stores ASAP. Its great 10/10

Hey, thanks for playing! The lack of timer was intentional, I wanted to avoid making a stressful game :D The water is a good idea yeah, it does cause performance problems because it takes up so much of the visible screen.

Good game. Built a lighthouse. At some point it stopped counting that it got taller and taller right after I got the pillars, not sure why.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing my game :D from your picture, it looks like the objects in the tower are touching the water. The game considers that cheating, so that's probably why it stopped counting. (you also can't have objects that are welded to objects in the water)

I recorded a video when playing : 

This was a really great game. It was very fun and so well polished. Great work. I kind of wanted to go outside and bring with me a ladder to get even higher :) 
Developer

Thank you for playing! I watched your entire play-through, it was useful to see how others play it and learn the mechanics.

There is a hint at the start of the game that you can move the camera with the left analog stick, so you don't have to break through the roof,  although maybe I made it disppear too quickly 😅

I recorded my playthrough, unfortunately the mic died half way through. Nice work! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing my game, your play-through was really useful for me from a game design perspective. Looks like I should've made it more clear that you can't weld to magic pillars... Oh well 😅

Awesome concept! Really simple but fairly challenging, it's relaxing and trains your patience in a good way. Graphics are well used and UX is spot on! Congratulations!
It works well on Ubuntu 24.04

Very well done and pretty hard. :)
