Ebony & Ivory Tower by kromeboy
Welcome to Ebony & Ivory Tower
Pick a piece of the colour indicated in the top right corner and place it on top of the tower, and try not to collapse it!
WASD or arrow keys to look around, mouse (LMB) to move pieces.
You can play in single-player mode for points and compete in the online leaderboard or you can challenge a friend in hotseat two-player mode.

Reasonably good control system but falls down a bit when the tower loses stability; having the placement options follow the movement of the tower would help this.
Nothing really novel but its pretty close to feeling quite nice.
@blackquiltro yea the leaderboard did make a lot of a difference in the small playtest that I did. To think that it almost didn't make the cut...
Anyway the leaderboard is a little something that I have hacked toghether on Glitch. You are more then welcome to remix it https://glitch.com/edit/#!/scorebord-krome
@brads-space the physics is a delicate compromise. One of the fist victim is the possibility to move the piecies. On a swinging tower is impossible to continusly adapt the piece without collapsing the structure or clip in another piece.
It would be interesting to show the player the next (maybe two next) colors in advance and not only the current one.
It'll introduce a bit of strategy for two players mode and a more carefull approche on single mode.
Good job on your submission.
I think that two is the correct balance, and it also made a good play on word on Ivory Tower
