This game absolutely RULES. Very very fun trying to figure out the perfect fortress. I freaking looooooooooooooove the enemy designs also. Awesome job

I LOVEEEE this game SO MUCH. It's simple but adictive and intuitive. I adore how you try to randomize the game using physics to your advantage; faithfully represents inestibility. The only thing that I would improve would be the camera at certain levels, such as 3-2 and 3-4. But for overall, it's a perfect experiencie. I recommend so much your work guys

Nooo, all the way to the end with 3 stars and then one of the buddies gets squished by my trophy! I think that's an allegory for something.

P.E.R.F.E.C.T. art. I spent a long time trying to figure out how you gave that thumbs up at the end that satisfying wiggle with so few pixels. Black magic I guess.

Really great game. 5* overall :)

Very cool! I spent a lot of time trying to be the best, but that was the best I could do. Sometimes the camera gets in the way and doesn't let me put the piece where I need it. I don't know if your initial idea was that or not. In any case, it hurt!

What I liked the most was the music! It suits this style of play very well.

Congratulations!

Nicely polished, like the fade on the tutorial suggestions when you perform the actions, you really paid attention to the little things to make a good game, but I never figured out what was a safe falling distance for the king. @euler-moises you can move the screen around with right click.

Wow this was a cool game! I loved trying to figure out how to place the blocks to win the level. Reverse angry birds lol. I thought the level difficulty ramped up nicely. I really felt bad for the little creatures when they splatted. Those mean robots! A lot of content for a game jam, excellent work!

This plays incredibly well! The concept is very easy to grasp, as are the movements of the enemies, the character design is fantastic, the wave mechanic of the enemies is something I haven't seen before! Very strong entry, thank you for this! o:

Super duper fun and awesome polish for a jam game! It feels a lot like a classic Nitrome game. The variance in enemies is great. The character design is also excellent. The camera felt like it drifted a bit and I had to fight it, and the lack of contrast on the main menu buttons/text made my eyes a little uncomfortable but these are really tiny gripes. Overall just a great job!

Very polished, fun graphics and very catchy music. I had fun trying out different block combinations and seeing what happens when the enemies attack. Also not too hard, the level design is pretty forgiving. Good job!

The characters look great, I shouldnt laugh at them dying and exploding like that as much as I did. Very catchy music, good puzzle game, was always curious to see what came next.

Love the characters graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/QOqT7v58gqA

Excellent entry all around! Great art, sound, music, design... Very little to nitpick! That being said, the difficulty of some of the challenges seemed to be a bit uneven- although that could just be me! Some puzzles will probably vary in challenge from person to person. :) Despite being physics based, the way things flowed feeled pretty sensible, although it would have been nice to know where certain 'enemies' would have appeared ahead of time instead of having to do a 'trial run' to see what and where things would appear. All that being said, fantastic entry! (PS: I managed to three-star all the levels! (3-2 was quite the challenge...)

This one's getting a perfect score. Elegant UX that generally works as expected, fun puzzles that take a try or two of catastrophic and hilarious failure, lots of enemy and block types, and a fun gameplay loop.

Add more worlds with new puzzles and background environments, and you honestly have a commercial game ready to go here. This entry is exceptionally feature-complete and a pleasure to play through. Congratulations on a fantastic entry!
