Art and sound is perfect.
The minigames are hard, even the ones I knew what to do I often couldn't even imagine finishing it in time but maybe I'm just bad. Well done!
Very fun. Interesting combination.
Excellent!
I played until eventually my tower exploded for some reason. Maybe a block fell and I didn't notice. Everything felt good to play. I didn't beat any game on the first go, but with practice I got better and eventually started to beat them consistently.
I don't have a fast and precise mouse skills, but I had pleasure as long as I could :)
Well done !
I think I completed 16 games, but I was really bad, the jenga part went pretty good, I think I had only 4-5 yellow parts left! 😃
Good job
Great game, well done!
Two player mode would be an awesome addition in the future if you guys continued at it.
Great job!
The little games is great!
I like it!
I think next time i would take less sleep,using more time to polish my game in LD, after i saw your game:)
Followed you and waiting for your new games~
Sometimes I felt that the timer was too short, like 3 seconds too short, and I'm taking that this was on purpose, just for us to feel that we *almost* made it.
Thanks for the game!

Very nice Game! Will hunt for a higher score still :)
31 Now :)
@arthurds let me know if you beat that ;)
The idea of using a jenga as a dynamic menu is sooo smart. The mini games are fun (dunno if balanced tho, the phone one I don't see hwo it's humanly possible), and the mood is amazing. 5/5
Each mini-game was given so little time that it was over before I knew what was happening. Oh no. But it was really fun!
Full marks from me. UNBELIEVABLE work!
The minigames are fun and challenging (still couldn't beat some of them...), the graphics and sound are beautifully made and extremely well-polished, and there's high replayability value in it. A local or online multiplayer version of this would be amazing!
The collection of minigames ranges from easy to challenging for me (hopefully next time I'll fare better) This was a blast to play!
This is just a quick update to let you know that if you had any problems with your Global Rank not showing up, that is now fixed in the latest download version. The great thing is that everything has been working behind the scenes, so all your progress and rank were submitted and saved, and will be there if you launch the new version! The only thing that needed fixing was the visual display of your rank.
Enjoy the rest of your Ludum Dare!
The jenga tower part itself was also pretty fun, and I was able to take out entire rows of pieces without it falling over haha. I definitely wanna play this more as I was able to beat EXACTLY ONE SINGLE MINI GAME, and I played some of them more than once :3
Overall, amazing job at getting so many functioning and polished mechanics working! I love the idea of using mini games to get more smaller, but more random chunks of games all in one place \o/
Super cool and thanks for submitting it for me to try <3
The game over screen has to be one of the most stylish I've ever seen in a game too! Overall really nice job to the team!
So much fun, I'm to slow for this type of games but I like it a lot!
I have to know, what's the 1st place score?

If you're going for top global ranks, one thing to note: the game DOES account for tie-breaks. In the case of two players completing the same number of minigames, the game which was played quickest takes the better spot on the board. Just a little tip for anyone who's reaching for those single-digit global ranks!
Congratulations!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

1. The lack of anti-aliasing during the minigames kind of ruins the otherwise amazing art. Not sure if it's a stylistic choice or just an oversight, because some parts of the game (like text) did have it and looked a lot cleaner.
2. Some of the minigames were just badly designed. Most of them were fun but a few were just frustrating. In particular, the one where you have to randomly go through menus to find some gibberish, it would have been better if what you had to find somehow correlated with the menus, like actually having something to do with 'View' or 'File'.
3. It felt like there was no difference whether I won or lost a minigame. It might be worth experimenting with losing a minigame actually doing something, like making the next block the player tries to take out be more shaky or something.
But yeah, other than that pretty much everything about this was perfect! Huge congrats on making this in 3 days, there's definitely lots of potential here for a full game.
I might be super bad, but some of the minigames felt a little TOO hard in the time constraint. But I guess that might just be par for the course with a game in this genre. Cudos to your team!!
I love that we can still play 3/4 minigames if we remove a piece super quickly while the tower is already collapsing :laughing:
This game has a great artstyle, and satisfying sound effects, and the minigames are well designed, it's just the game wasn't for me.
Amazing Job!
I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!
