A simple and nice litte game.
graphics surely needs some love, but I think is ok for a short time

Short, but still a pretty fun game

Good work on the game, reminded me of some of those mobile knife thrower games. I liked that the world would change speed and direction after every new block. I got 111 as a high score!

I liked the concept of the game.
I think it's a bit easy right now. Maybe a couple more colours or restrictions on how high you can build or something.
I think it has some potential!

I'm not sure why, but my system is telling me the archive is corrupt, so I'm not able to try your game. Sorry! I didn't rate because of this.

Fun Game. I enjoyed playing it, but as you play it gets easier. Perhaps it would be good to remove blocks occasionally.

@tgb20 Game is completely randomized. Removing blocks is a good idea, I'll add it later. Thanks for feedback!

Nice game! Audio loop could of been longer but the game ran really nice and smooth for me and was fun!

Way to easy, just making tower that reach the bottom of the screen and then it's just a matter of clicking when the tower passes over the bottom. Stopped because there was no challenge at all.

An interesting twist to stacking games. Challenging enough to keep playing until it becomes too easy. The circumference increases as the radius increases, so the game actually becomes easier until the challenge disappears completely when the stack touches the block spawn. You can then just spawn them inside the stack.

@bloc97 @thebmxeur Yeah, that makes game pointless after reaching certain point. I'll think about how to make it different. Thanks for the feedback !

It's simple and a good idea, but maybe too easy and simple, after playing it for a couple minutes I got used to it and started to get bored.

But nice job!

Kind of similar to the game Stack and Knife Hit. Good effort!

Simple, easy and fun to play. Music was also good. You can add some more levels with higher difficulty and more type of blocks. Overall, a good entry.

Simple but effective. I agree with respect to the game become easier over time, but the main thing I found was that waiting for the planet to spin all the way around, when it was going slow, was somewhat annoying -- especially when you get two of the same color right after one another (I just had one stack for each color, so I had to wait for one whole revolution every time I got two in a row).

When I saw the screenshots, I originally guessed it would be some kind of match-3 game -- I wonder if a mechanic like that might help with the problem of decreasing difficulty? At least, some sort of mechanic that ensures the largest radius of the planet stays relatively constant.

@themonsterfromthedeep That idea sounds great! I might add some more colors and mechanic like that! Thanks for feedback ^_^

Nice concept. Really enjoyed it.
Another game mode that could be good, would be one in which the world rotated the same way, but the speed increased over time, and has nothing to do with the houses hitting the planet, so the longer you are able to last the harder it will be, as the planet will be spinning quickly.

@kmce Thanks for the idea!

Fun game despite the simple mechanics. I liked the audio and thought it fit well with the game, however it was sometimes a bit annoying to wait for the planet to fully rotate on slower speeds.

It's a simple, yet awesomely fun game! I really liked it. I would swap the random rotation speed to a gradually increasing speed to make the player feel some progress as others suggested.

Great job, and thanks for giving us a great time! :)

Nice game, lol in the beginning i was just trying to place as many directly on the planet without hitting each other x) (looks like 8?)

The concept is simple, but it is very funny and addictive. I think it is better to have some feature such as:
- If the line reach a point like 10 blocks, you would lose those blocks and then get some points.
- Overtime, the blocks will have more colors.
- Zoom out the camera when the line is too long (see in the attached picture below).
- Adding more levels or events like meteors hit your blocks or something... to increase the difficulty of the game overtime.
Overall, it is a good game to play when you have short free-time.

Simple and well executed concept! It's fun to play and a good take on the theme. Watching all the blocks spin when you have a lot of them built is almost hypnotic haha.
I think @tungunity96 's suggestions were on point. Also the music is triggered every time you go back to the menu so it will stack on top of itself over and over. The call to play the music should check if it's already playing or not.
Good submission!

Cool idea to make for a stacker :) I think you did a great job. I do agree with everyone else, the visuals need a bit more work, but for what it is and the time spend on it, it has a good fun and I enjoyed it

A nice simple concept, and an enjoyable experience. Just a small thing - the menu music plays twice when you go from the main game back to the menu. Otherwise nice entry!

Simple and fun, that's the kind of games I like ! Still it quickly became boring :-/ not much work on developing the gameplay and difficulty, and not work on the audio as well... Next time ask me if you want a composer/sound-designer ;-)

@josscomposer I had really limited time. I managed to make the game in about 5-6 hours. I will surely contact you if I need composer/sound designer. Thanks for the feedback!
