Always Love this Kind of Games! Makes me spend hours trying to reach the heights.

To have started with those Foundations I would add some more interesting mechanics that give a twist to the style, but overall is a Classic and Fun Game

Tetris where the blocks aren't on a grid and can end up tilted at funny angles?! You sir, are a monster! Bravo!

Nice! I got a height of 153. Cool to see you have leaderboards! My tower was really tall and slanted. Very unstable, haha.

Pleasant control, but I would like to WASD. Looks good. Physics in the game is perfected. Nice soothing music.

Cool game, wished sometimes, that it was a little more precise.

I felt like I was getting off to a really good start, and then just like with Tetris, one mistake snowballed into another, and another... and then everything fell apart :sweat_smile:

I've seen a couple of block stacking games so far this ldjam, but this one was really well executed, I didn't feel rushed so it was pretty calming to play

Nice simple game, good job! I think it would be a bit better if the blocks moved faster, but besides that the gameplay is good!

I like the leaderboard, fun to see how our scores compared with others! Gameplay-wise, it's very similar to another game called Tricky Towers.

This is a great concept, one tiny thing that bothered me though, was how the corners so easily snagged, making putting a piece in a tight spot almost never worth the risk. If the pieces had slightly rounded corners, things might slip into place, and it would feel very satisfying. Besides that though, this is great!
