Beautiful little game, I love the simple animation and colorful text effects. Those boxes are maddingly fun to mouth around with. Controls are a little janky, but that might have to do with ultrawide resolution

Really nice looking game. I liked the dialogue. Only issue for me was it had quite low fps on my laptop making the jumps a bit tricky, other than that awesome concept and execution :)

Loved the walk cycle animation. The learning curve was very good. Would love to see a more polished game of this one.

Duuuude, that walk animation :rofl: I love the sounds, the graphics in general, the dialogues, the physics. The only thing a bit weird was the camera. An awesome, cute, BIG, polished and strong entry, congratz!!!

This game is absolutely adorable. The graphics are really strong with this one, having well done models and textures, adorable stop motion-ish animations, and good post processing work. The dialogue is very charming, and the incorporation of the theme by stacking physics with your mouth is a unique take on the concept. I did have the stack I was making glitch out I few times because it fell over after it fell off my head, which was frustrating. It might be better to have the stack get placed in front of the player. I imagine this would be a lot more complicated, and with the time constraints, this is a very well done submission. Great work.

I loved everything about this game. It is very cute aesthetic a nice soothing soundtrack. The stacking mechanic was fun and tricky, and the story and animations were funny as well. Great polished game.

I loved everything about this game, fantastic. It took me a long time to figure out how to jump on moveable blocks without knocking them over, but I don't think that's a negative since it felt good when I finally started getting the hang of it.

Very cute game, gorgeous, had some solid personality and the music was a really nice fit! I did find the choppiness of it a little difficult to look at, and while I really liked the added challenge of maintaining balance while walking with a stack, I didn't much like the extra challenge of things maybe falling down when you drop the stack, but I might have been doing something wrong. Still, really great work!

What an amazing masterclass in aesthetics! Loved the intro screen, the text and in general the graphics. For some reason mouse sensitivity was almost unusable, but other than that it was pretty fun.

Adorable aesthetics, nice music, really creative idea for the gameplay. Maybe I found it a bit hard to stack the cubes

The twist at the end was quite dark :D

Superb graphics and animation style, you really managed to create a small contained world here that I enjoyed spending some time in.

Implementation of the theme is also nice, I liked the fact that carrying the stack disables the jump and effectively there are 2 different modes of movement that are very different. It was also refreshing that not each log required doing the stacking.

Personally I feel like the stacking mechanic/movement could use some more polish, as it required me to be super slow and super careful, and sometimes felt tedious instead of fun. Sometimes when picking up blocks the whole tower would collapse, and my worse enemy was rotating the character as often it would do it super fast and mess up the whole tower. I would love to have more precision when moving during stacking or ideally the blocks to be more forgiving, more 'sticky' so they would not collapse so easily.

I liked the tilting mechanic a lot, I feel like you could make a lot of interesting gameplay ideas with this and differently shaped objects etc.

The pacing of the game and explanation for each mechanic was very well done - I enjoyed exploring this little open world.

Solid entry! :muscle: 🍩:fire:

very pretty game, didn't run very well on my computer because of the graphics settings being so high. Never the less, very cute. Please consider people with slightly older graphics cards next time. :)
