How does the game fit the theme?
Physics puzzle game. Nothing can go wrong ... if you (the player) can maintain your balance. That is, put the remaining shapes into the puzzle and it stays standing when physics is turned on.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything from scratch. Basic shape graphics, all code from scratch, uses AppGameKit tier1 game engine.

Nice work! Echoing others, rotating pieces more conveniently and some sfx would be nice but what you have is really well done. Also undo the last move instead of resetting the whole puzzle. I also really appreciate the full level select so I can jump around and try the harder levels.
Cool game. Mouse wheel or RMB could help turn the piece instead of actual way. Of course some music/sfx. But the core gameplay is simple but effective. Great job.
Great game
Excellent game! Very interesting idea and great implementation! Ideally, make figure rotation with the mouse wheel, allow undoing the last figure instead of resetting everything, and let players place multiple figures at once while they are still in the pool, rather than one at a time. Everything else is wonderful and great!
Very fun! Really enjoyed this one, the balancing puzzles were great and it was fun to hit play and watch as either my plan goes completely awry and blocks go everywhere, or watch as a beautiful balance is met and each block is slightly jittering and barely holding it together lolol. There was at least one level in there where my building was definitely falling right before the level won, so I managed to cheese it last second. The graphics are simple and serviceable and the overall game is a nice, but there didn't seem to be music and this game would be perfect with something chill playing in the background.
Overall great experience, really good game and great work!
Fun game, I played through to level 16. I would install this on my phone if it was developed into a mobile game with more levels.
Cool game! Physics is always fun!
Quite difficult! I got to level 5 before calling it quits. Really fun :)
Fun game! Liked the Tetris inspired art!
tough to play, fits the theme pretty well and was fun. 7/10
