Ahah this is very fun :) and a clever take on the theme too. Maybe the explosion of objects shouldn't be so enjoyable, but overall I think this is very impressive :) well done

I love this game! I would have gotten addicted if my laptop hadn't started to die, but I really enjoy what you made. Super simple, but tricky enough that you WANT to beat it. Nice little detail on the music speeding up as you progress. One tiny detail that would be a nice quality of life improvement would be if the rotate could just be held down, instead of pressing multiple times, but that's a small detail on an otherwise awesome game. Well done!

Thank you so much!

The rotation thing was requested multiple times, you are very right. As my vision was more of a mobile touch game, I didn‘t polish the desktop controls enough. I‘ll fix that.

I‘m really happy with the music hack. Don‘t know about you, but it really helps build up suspension in me even though I know it‘s a trick. :)

I like this game, it doesn't contain any complicated stuff but still makes me thing hard on how do I place my next object.

Nice mobile game. Keyboard controls are not the best, as they feel a little choppy and you can’t move the toys diagonally. Other than that, felt well polished!

It kept giving me those dang horses! Still a fun challenge that's easy to pick up and play. my high score landed me at 78 on the leaderboard. Great work!

Many hated the horse until recently the 4yo daughter of a player discovered that you can use them like this.

Now horses are actually a cool piece to place. :D

Wonderful idea, I think a bit more variation of the "map" wouldve made it more fun. Love the leaderboard.

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Could you elaborate a bit on your variation idea? Change the floor and wall between games?

Reply

Loved it, the leader board makes it quite addictive, really satisfying when you hook a piece on perfectly and get a nice flat surface for the next one

Thank you so much :) The latest meta is hoking up horse pieces with the wall pieces as they fit perfectly (by accident, not design). :D

Reply
bigbluealienSubmitted2 years ago

Haha that helped a lot, I spent a few goes trying to find other perfect fits but couldn't find anything.

Seems the leaderboard didn't update after coming back though, it's saved the user name but didn't update the score

Hey zorkie, I've made substantial changes to the mobile game. It has 20 different levels now. 

I would love your feedback and a review on App Store/Google Play would also help so much. :-)

Fun little game, the concept isn't too complex but it's well executed and addictive. GG!

Quite addictive game! Could've used to more different objects but is good so far.
Nice that you show next object. Would be cool if I could also stash at least one object and use it latter.

Oh yes! Stashing is a cool idea to make it more strategic / higher skill cap.

Thanks for playing and giving me feedback!

super fun simple stacker game. Definitely difficult after a certain height. the irregular shapes of the toys add a whole extra level of difficulty. great work

Crazy simple but well executed.
You just keep playing and playing, and even when you lose the explosion of all your toys is oddly satisfying.

Great job !
