I like to think your team name is the 1-Bit Gods. Fun game! A really novel idea that was pulled off very well. I would have liked to see the mechanic explored a little bit more. Maybe you could have levels with progressively whackier objects. I really liked the music too. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting take on the theme, the fact you can play it with friends is really nice, if only I had any... jkjk.

It reminds me of that tower building game like tetris but physics based, but with a slingshot as the main interaction possible. Although being a bit difficult to control and predict where the blocks will end up it is a really fun game. 

Developer

buddy just described our game lol. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I was referring to Tricky Towers, but with a slingshot hahaah

Ah, I cannot get over 10 ft, and sometimes the score does not update accordingly, but I like the music. Cool physics-based game.

Im affraid youve forgotten to save your rating. Glad you enjoyed the game. The score didnt update correctly because it uses the object with the highest y position instead of the actual highest point. If you liked the single player i suggest getting a friend or family member to play the multiplayer version, it can be quite fun as well.

Really fun game, I was a little confused by “if angry birds met Jane’s and had a really cool kid” at first but now it makes perfect sense. Great job on this game.

Developer

Thanks! And thanks for commenting and voting. Youre the first person round’ these parts in a while.

I actually only clicked on this because the thumbnail looked like something from Hylics. What’s that supposed to be anyway?

Developer

Well its funny actually. Our artist didnt actually make much art for the game, so I had to go back to some concept art that he made before and take a screenshot of that and put it in the game to have more blocks. And then I wanted to have a logo and a name show up before the game starts to look professIonal (which obviously didnt work). The image itsself is just the head of a bull i belive.

ohhh I see it now yeah

Fun and interesting take on the theme Tower, the physics-based puzzle of trying to stack as many items on each other without them falling was rather engaging and worked well with the background music. though I feel this game could have benefited more by having all the assets and text be consistent with each other as well as having more game feel and juice. Overall a good submission, well done!

Developer

yes, our artist didnt have time to make many assets so us programmers had to take matters into our own hands lol

Submitted

Its a bit challenging. Yet really interesting.

Developer

glad you enjoyed it!

Very neat, we almost did something similar for the Jam, the blocks feel a bit bouncy when landing on other blocks, but i guess is part of the challenge

Ithink the concep is good. The throwing mechanick is interesting, maybe you shud lower the waiting time betwen shots becouse sometimes is litle anoing to wait for next shot. The graphics are also good, the onli think i no not understand is why the pilar is drawn in diferent stile then the rest of the game.

Developer

Im afraid our artist didnt have the time to draw that pillar. The waiting time is annoying we’re working on that. Somethine went wrong in the build.

Deceptively clever game! I got very invested while playing this one -- I'm a sucker for games that are physics based. I liked the music, felt cheeky yet contemplative. I think some more sound effects and more visual effects (maybe screen shake or something) would have brought this to the next level.

Overall, fun game!
