I like these kinda simplistic and addictive games and I liked your game... but the tower takes a long time to realize I want to move left or right and the falling pieces take a long time to reach the tower... with these improvements your game would be a very fun little project","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":713555,"author_name":"Barrier","author_uid":"barrier","epoch":1633352862,"text":"Nice block stacking game!

It reminded me of that game a lot, both in artstyle and in mechanics. At first I thought it was a simple clone, but then I saw that you could lose your shapes as well, and I was intruiged :) At first I also did not really understand what the 'sprint' was for, but once I had a shaky mess of a tower I understood that I could use it as a bit of balance. Those balls that come falling down from time to time are an amazing addition as well, and are really annoying. One time I had a somewhat stable tower, but one shape was sticking out quite a lot. The ball fell on the very edge of that shape and yeeted my entire tower into the void. Really nice moment XD\n\nIt was interesting to see that my score went into the negatives. I think I agree with others, that it would be better to be game over at some point. Because after losing half my tower there is no way I would have gotten to 12 meters with only those small shapes coming down.\n\nOthers said that the controls are too sluggish\/slow, but I think I actually like it this way. It forces you to use the shift key sometimes, at the risk of losing part of your tower. Those kind of choices are exactly what you want in a game.\n\nI really enjoyed this one! Great job :D","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":739187,"author_name":"mrnannings","author_uid":"mrnannings","epoch":1633525353,"text":"A bit similar to my game but in 3D.
