Stacktics by Sam Bigos
To delay your inevitable demise, stack blocks as high as possible so they get crushed instead of you!
Use only the mouse to control yourself, pick up blocks, and throw them skyward.
- Hold the left mouse button over a block (while in range) to grab it.
- Use the mouse to adjust the trajectory.
- Release to throw, hopefully to land on top of your stack!
- Hold right mouse button to enter a temporary slow motion mode.

Can you beat the dev highscore?

v1.01
Minor post-jam update which fixes two major bugs: * Fixed crash when a block you're holding gets crushed. * Fixed inconsistent game-time leading to wildly differing high-scores, due to the ceiling movement being framerate dependent.

Godlike controls, feedback and juicyness, incredibly on point with that clicky sounds.
My score: 3,25m
@vilmantas yeah it's a little unclear, but there's a ceiling slowly coming down to crush you, though it starts off-screen to give you enough time to build up. Play for a few minutes and you'll see it (it also doesn't start descending until you hit Start, before that is just warm-up/practice.
@sirjupitron Thank you! Respectable score indeed.

unfortunatly my game crashed, like iwilliams, i held a piece as it was crushed, so i don't know how much my score would have been but i was at 6min something ! I love games where the players have the ability to create something, it was very cool (also i had a jumpscare at the first explosion, i didn't see the ceiling first xD)

@lukix thanks for the feedback, yeah that is something I wanted to improve but didn't have time for.
@benbennett that's very odd, I haven't seen that one. Thanks for the info!
@puree-adventure Thank you so much! I believe the crash should be fixed now. I also realised there was another bug causing the ceiling to fall at different rates depending on framrate which is fixed now.
@bodcodes Thank you!
Simple but very effective visuals; great contrast on the pieces, no confusion about what to do. Very nice entry :)
My only nitpicks: maybe could have used some background music? And the controls (while nice once I figured it out) took me a minute.
Had a lot of fun playing it and it's my favorite game so far :smile:
Good job !
I did feel that the physics were a little unforgiving at times. There was one play-through where I thought I was doing really well. Built a nice tall tower. Then threw just a small block on top of it and all of a sudden my tower started vibrating and then toppled over. That one ended up being my worst score. It wasn't that I just threw the block off center it almost seemed like it collapsed from the pressure. Maybe it was just a one off though. Other than that I thought the physics were good.
Excellent job! Thanks for the entry.

Wish I could get to 4 minutes but I kept failing sadly.
