The color mechanic is great. I really enjoyed. At the beginning I didn't get why the houses where pushing without touching but when I saw the different colors, I realized that the don't need to be in contact. Nice job!!!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LarryChupacabra","author_uid":"1014973","time":"2017-05-01T19:14:32Z","epoch":1493666072,"modified":1493666072,"text":"Simple yet oddly satisfying gameplay. It's a pretty simple and tried and true game concept, but when you start to get different colored houses bouncing off of each other its gets really funny to watch. My favorite thing to do is after I mess something up just start dumping all the houses together and watch the mosh pit ensue. \n\nThe gameplay while fun is pretty basic in its current form. You're really just testing your physics based jenga skills until you eventually make one mistake and then everything cascades off the edge. I feel like its just missing something, but that's probably just due to the time constraints. \n\nThinking about what might add to the game I'd say something to use your money for other than score would be nice. Like some upgrades or unlocks that add utility. This could include something like a crane that might allow you to swap or relocate some houses and better make use of your limited space. A Nemesis or other enemy might be interesting too, more than just falling off the edge into space. \n\nThat said I found it fun and replayed it several times to generate the ultimate mosh pit.\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0Qy_8ccUyhs ","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"hampst","author_uid":"1011237","time":"2017-05-01T20:03:23Z","epoch":1493669003,"modified":1493669003,"text":"Wow thanks for the awesome video and feedback @larrychupacabra!

Like one of the other comments (i do not read other comments until i have played the game to avoid warping my experiences), i was not really sure why the blocks were bouncing off each other at first, but when i realised - it amused me even more and i had even more fun. \n\nI will admit to having a play-through where i just dropped houses from the highest point possible to watch to chaos, and i was smiling the whole time.\n\nThe gameplay is simple, the art is simple, the sounds are simple - and this all adds up to a decent and interesting game. Would be interested to see potential future upgrades, such as purchasing upgrades, changing the platform size\/shape for different levels etc.\n\nReally great entry, good job.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jaenis","author_uid":"1024908","time":"2017-05-02T20:06:27Z","epoch":1493755587,"modified":1493755587,"text":"That was great! :D\n\nBit slow start, but finding good places for houses got rather interesting pretty fast!

I managed to get $6290, but many citizens were lost in the process. \nAt first a felt the game was too easy, I felt the ships were coming in too slowly. And then the speed increased and my world became a disaster zone! \nThe visuals and audio were basic but did the job, I also liked the hovering sign with the name of the world. \nThis game could definitely be developed into something more complex with more ship types, temporary power ups such as being able to slow down time, or maybe be able to purchase permanent upgrades with the money earned. \nGood job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tompudding","author_uid":"1003030","time":"2017-05-06T15:28:55Z","epoch":1494084535,"modified":1494084535,"text":"Oh this is such a nice simple idea executed very well, I love it.
