You have nothing! :(

How to play

:bear: Click in the place of the room and the thing will fall there (by X -coord)

:bear: Collect as many things as possible in time

:bear: But put items wisely! Try to use the room space economically; and don't overlap some items with others.

:bear: After timeout only items in the room space are counted!


(Some info: game was made in about 1/4 of total time, so maybe some elements of game are croked / raw. And I experimented: art was drawn by hand on paper, then photo'ed and colored in soft in cartoony style. Hope you'll like this *style :P) *

Cool concept my dude, but rate some games so more people can see it

haha our games are somewhat similar. I appreciate that you took the time to draw all the objects! After a while I found that by dropping things outside of my home I could acheive higher scores. Funny to play. I would add the possibility of arranging an object after you have dropped it (maybe adding some more seconds to the time). WEll done!

I opened this and the notes zipped by, although that just might be my computor or something, but altogether this a really neat and fun game!

As the @tommyflower said I appreciate that you took the time to draw all the objects. You can turn this into tetris like gameplay

Game is really fun and very polished! But I feel there is room for some improvement on its design.

I don't like the time on the game. It encourages reckless spamming of left click where as in a game like this you should encourage strategic placing of objects. I understand the game needs an end state trigger but you could have used something like "game ends when an object falls down the bottom of the screen" which would allow players to carefully place the objects. Or you could have used both by resetting the timer on left click. That way player doesn't have infinite amount of time to place down an object.

The audio fits the funny mood of the game. Objects are beautifully drawn!

Thanks for the game! I really enjoyed playing it!

A super simple and fun little game idea. I believe that some of the physics made the game run very slowly. But overall an okay little jam game.

Easy Game, but fun to play for a quick round. Gives me some Tetris-vibes.

I loved the general concept, but I wish there would be more polish to it. For example, implementing a fair distribution of objects, showing the next object in queue, showing where exactly object would fall, a winning condition. I was going to make a similar game, so this one really resonates with me :D

Great idea and I'd love to see this mechanic explored some more, as well the art just a smidge, other than that this is a great game! Can quite easily see this being an addictive game!
