Fun game, found the rotation speed to be just a bit too fast.

great game, great idea, played it for about half an hour!!
Found an easy way to win, if you keep clicking on the torus you will win eventually (found out while trying to stack all by gravity)

Haha, too bad I'm not a good architect.
Had a nice time and won't complain about being simplistic, the gameplay handles the job.

Nice presentation, really clean and slick. I had a relaxing time playing it.

@Tork is right, seems like keeping the ring happy for 10 seconds while spamming it with objects makes you win.

I want to play this so bad! But it doesn't run on my mac!

Thanks ddionisio, gonna try and fix that!

Sorry MunkeeBacon :( What version of OSX are you running? Are you getting an error message?

I had fun desperately trying to build something and watching it crumble in my own failure. Cool idea to try and build something that'll reach a goal for 10 seconds. I found the rotation speed to be a little too fast as well though. Good overall though.

Nice entry - at first I was thrown off by the bounciness of the pieces, but it actually adds a bit of chaos and a lot of fun to it :)

Cool physics game. A few easier levels at the start, like smaller heights would have been cool.

you can just spawn pieces at the ring to get more time... was this intended?

Had fun playing this, found the rotating of the pieces to be a bit too fast though.

A fun little concept executed well. Nice touches on the level select screen; it looks quite striking. Given how large these towers need to get I may have appreciated a bit less delay between block spawns (and a bit finer precision on the spins).

I'm trying to think of something - anything - negative to say. And I can't. My favourite game of this Ludum Dare!

Hahaha, very well done! Love the particular look of the graphics-- not really sure just what it is about them.

This is a lot of fun! Inspires strategic thinking and objectives are clear and challenging.
But is it just me or does the colour, shape, sound effect and the fact that it involves a circular hole make it seem like dropping poop? I was stuck grinning like an idiot for minutes after realizing this :}

I spent way too long playing it incorrectly, trying to place as many shapes in a stack as possible. was at 70 when I realized I needed to get to the rings at the top.

THEN it got fun.

This is really cool, I enjoyed playing the game, physics are nice and presentation is austere but attractive.
I would have liked a little more of background sounds or music (and ESC on fullscreen :P), pretty solid nonetheless.

Looks and feels really solid, though fiendishly difficult. The pieces rotate just a tad too fast, too.

I thought I had a winning strategy until I saw your other levels. Tricky! A neat idea, executed well. Nice work!

Great concept, both frustrating and relaxing at the same time. I played for quite a while. good job.

I can imagine one can play this for a really really long time. You'll either tear your hair off or find Zen. Good job :-)

Love this game, great entry! I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcXHrH6VSV0

Playing on a Mac (OSX 10) and there was no time element at all.

Entertaining and difficult, solid game.
