Tower of Meat by legice

[raw]
made by legice for LD 44 (JAM)

Being a lone butcher is alredy exciting as it is, then suddenly, a GOD enters your butcher shop! You are instructed to BUILD a TOWER OF MEAT, because REDACTED When you build said meat tower to the UPPER LINE, you are blssed by the gods and allowed to build another one, which will be "much harder", untill the gods are pleased! If durring the building of said glorious tower, you MISS said meat stack and it goes UNDER the LOWER LINE, you must replace the meat with YOUR LIFE. Or other body parts until you pass out, but both please the gods equally. Also dont waste the MEAT, as there is only so much to go around and the gods are hungry. Very hungry, probably a party or something.

TUTORIAL

Stack the given meats (top right corner) and try to reach the upper red line. Top left is your meat left counter and once you are out of meat, game over. insert Bill Paxton joke Also on the left, is your ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶r limb bar, where every time you drop a meat and it dosent stack ontop of the current highest meat, you will lose a body part. If the tower collapses, you will not lose a life.

A very unique entry which really goes well with the theme. I was a little confused to begin with - I didn't realise that the thing at the top is where the meat will land. I found it difficult to reach the tower heights at the levels progressed because the sausages always seem to knock it over. Great entry! (who doesn't love the wilhelm scream)

Is there a trick to getting the meat to stick? It's really hard to not get it to fall over even if it looks like it should be stable. Also, funny screams, the lone butcher seems to have turned into a woman when something was cut :D

@barrier there is bo trick just try to center meat as much as possible. And try to land it as fast as possible so that there is less time to fall over

@rodnasca interesting idea haha 😀
What would the veggies be? What would you need to sacrifice?

(Btw My day job is in game studio that makes family-friendly games with animals and this was quite positive escape from my usual game creation)

Nice game. There are some meat types that are pretty easy to stack though

@engyne The big hams are intended to bost you height and those small sausages are meant to get stacking harder. And then you have steaks that stabilize your tower of meat 😀

Neat idea. The sound affects got a little annoying but I guess it was necessary! :D
Well done!

pretty funny game, though the physics are a bit weird. after a while it gets a bit boring just to stack the items over each other. Very nice graphics and the piano soundtrack and the screaming are top
