[raw]
made by thomz12 for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

Description

In AFWAS :forkknifeplate: you play to achieve humans greatest pleasure: not having to do the dishes.

Instead, just stack everything around your kitchen. Surely this plate will fit in with the others, and this pan needs to soak first anyway. Oh, and this spoon can easily go between all the cups, right? :spoon:

Future-you can deal with it when they really need to, and besides, who actually needs to be able to reach their sink or fridge? Just order pizza and use the box :pizza:.

Are you the best procrastinator? :eyes: See if you can get the highest tower and beat the other lazy bums :medal:, just don't drop the dishes on the ground!

The game works on every* machine with a browser.

I would say out games are pretty similar. Your is much prettier and way more polished, but the stacking aspect remains.

Good Job!

Funny game, but music is loudly for me

@diccuric-sigeon thanks for the feedback, we will adjust it if more people mention it being to loud :)

This game is Tetris with RTX ON!
Quite a fun game to play and the leaderboard makes it very competitive!
Great Job!

Tricky little physics game. My favorite part is I can not do the dishes in the game at the same time as I'm not doing dishes in real life! Such joy I've never known.

Okay, this is a really funny interpretation of the theme. Stacking the dishes to avoid having to inevitably wash them? Love it!

The pixel art gives it a charming vibe, there's a nice variety of objects, and the music is more than just a simple loop (I played for about five minutes and right at the end I'm sure I heard it shift into a variation I hadn't heard before). The leaderboard is a great touch as well, not many Ludum Dare entries have that kind of competitive aspect to them. I'm afraid I can't beat your mum, I couldn't get higher than about 75.

Good job!

What a fun and simple game!
The pixel art style is really charming and the music fits the game well.
It even has a leaderboard, which is a great addition to the game!
Good job!

This is a great tricky-tower like game, very simple, straight to the point, nice pixel art and well polished. Work perfectly in the browser. Just a good little game, great work.

Very fun game! I like the pixel art style, and the music is nice too. The Leaderboard is a great feature. Nice game! Sometimes the dropping seems a bit inconsistent, and it's pretty hard. Good job on this entry though :)

Fun game! I love physics based games, the graphics and sound were nice, and I love the little bump effect when things collide :smile:

This was a really cool game. I love the idea, use of the theme, and the atmosphere. Great entry!

Neat game! Always appreciate using a custom engine even though these days I've succumbed to Unity for the convenience. The little scaling effect on physics contact feels nice, sometimes I felt a bit betrayed by the RNG (especially with those damn snowballs :D). I couldn't figure out how to make a structurally integral tower and always lost around 60-70 or so, but that's probably just me being bad at this type of games :D

Tried the Web version on Steam Deck and it worked! I got to a score of 66.

Fun and addictive puzzle game.

I found myself trying and trying to improve my best score and finding new strategies. I liked the idea that if tower of dishes does not grow homogenously, you have to throw the dishes from a big distance with more chances that it rebounds and goes out.

Well done!
