How does the game fit the theme?
You are Zico, the best unicycle tightrope walker in the world!

As always, you are doing a performance, something where no one is better than you!, so... nothing could go wrong... right? Anyways, The Show Must Go On!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used 2 addons for Godot:
- Rapier 2D -> 2D Physics Engine
- SoftBody2D -> It lets you create 2D softbodies, the only softbody in our game is the tightrope

This was super fun. I love the art style, the game looks really polished. The gameplay is a lot of fun, I appreciate that the pieces lock into place even as they're slowly rolling down, makes it feel more possible to get a big stack going. I think maybe there should have been some penalty to missing pieces, I didn't try it but it felt like I could fish for just the cube shaped stuff and build a massive stack. Had a ton of fun playing this, I played multiple runs to try and get a nice score, ended up with like 6k for my highest. Great work!

This is a pretty impressive entry! The art style is extremely good and goofy, the music is excellent, the gameplay is super fun, and the items are just hilarious. Why there is a hydrogen bomb for you to balance is beyond me. Also, no more swordfish, please. The controls are simple to learn, but the game is fairly difficult, especially if you want to stack too much on it. I'd say it fits super nicely! And the best of all, the game is super polished too. Well done!

For some small criticism, I'd say the object takes a while to be solidified into the stack, and it makes a lot of items just fall off. It should be more fun with more items stacked on your balancing board, but I digress. I also feel like the game is a bit unclear on how much "unstableness" will be tolerated until you fall. Other than that, the game is very well made! You should be proud of yourself!

Amazing visuals! The audio was great too. The gameplay is quite nice and a quite funny at times when you've got a literal nuclear bomb flying down lol. The controls are well tuned imo, it's not too difficult or overly easy to move to the right spot. Idk why but I've got quite some lag when playing on my laptop tho. I switched to my phone and the lag just disappeared. Also kudos for making it mobile compatible. Overall, really well done!

This is incredibly fun and such a good idea! I loove the art, the music is excellent and the gameplay is very entertaining. It's really fun seeing all the different random items that drop from the sky. Great job!

A very interesting game! Found it a bit tough to stack items cause they kept bouncing off but the execution was great! Love the artstyle too

I loved the concept and the art of this game! I just fell in love with all the personality it has!

Great game for this jam! I really liked the artstyle and the music strongly evokes a juggling performance. I had some difficulty with the game mechanics. Sometimes, a large object gets stuck in such a way that I can't grab any more objects, and that object doesn't fall.

Oh, this game was just lovely! Super charming art and great music. Everything was so charming! I kinda wish it was easier to build up the stack so a round would last longer, but it makes for a lovely short little game that keeps asking you to try again and again! It reminds me of the flash games I used to play when I was younger! Nice work!

My high score was 4045!

Like the idea and the game visuals. It's kind of giving the vibes of Cuphead in a way.
