Running Thoughts:

  • I love the little hand mouse and hand close for the options. It should clap like a high five!

Thanks!

Pretty cool game. I got like 6 points lol. Not sure if it's intended that you can place blocks underneath the stack. But it seems like starting out with ladders is a good strategy.

Developer

Thanks!

Amazing game, it just needs a bit of tuning with the audio because it gets to you when the boxes are all stacked together. But overall, amazing game.

Developer

Thanks!

Pretty fun! The mechanics felt great and I liked the whole idea of the timer and score system. Unfortunately I couldn't beat 8 but it was still fun lol.

Developer

8 is actually pretty good considering that most people only got 6.

Developer

Oh and thanks for the comment!

Nice game! I like the main character sprite a lot it's cute. Building a tower is fun and I like the high score chasing mechanic. I don't think I ever beat 6 so I wasn't great at the game, but I played it a good number of times. The controls felt a bit slippery and floatier than I like. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks, yes 6 is the Highscore for most people I believe.

Nice game! The idea of building a tower is kind of funny when the character is constantly in a "shocked face" hahaha
I never get to use the ladder with the limited timer since the movement is really floaty~
I just stand at the corner and spam big crates lol

Fun game! I got 13 highscore hehe

Developer(+1)

13 is crazy! Best I got was 10.

Fun game and original idea ! I find the caracter movement a bit heavy and the visual are good

Overall great game and fun to play

Developer

Thanks!

Simple but fun. Genious idea with awesome implementation. Had really fun time playing! Would benefit from some casual/arcade background music. Also there is a bug. It is possible to place a box out of bounds and exploit to just place a tower of singe boxes in the corner and just keep placing them one in another. Collision just pushes them upward, so it is easy way to cheese the game

Developer

Thanks for your bug report! I will try to fix it in the future. I would have liked to add music but I thought you have to make it completely from scratch (turns out you don’t xD)

controlling the character felt a bit weird as it was all slippery, but overall this is just a funny little game that i enjoyed. i like to collect as much coins as possible and when 30s remain, i spawn the most boxes i can to try to beat my high score rushing into building the tower, this chaos is what makes the game enjoyable for me!

Developer

Nice idea for a tactic! I’ll try this myself.

I love the freedom this game has of just building a tower to see how high you can get. Nice job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! What’s your Highscore ?

Submitted

I got to 6 I think.

Developer

Thanks!

Fun game and surprisingly hard, I love the main character guy! The concept is cool and I could see people grinding this for a high score

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah at first it looks pretty easy but it gets a lot harder the further you.

I struggled with the movement initially as it felt like that character was moving on ice. I think its a cool concept. My best was 6m in the few attempts I had as struggled with managing the boxes and felt like they always spawned on the other side of the stage to me! Cool idea well on theme though!

Developer

Thanks for your comment and feedback . The boxes spawn random, I would recommend not to build in the middle of the stage but on the sides, so you don’t have to worry about them spawning on the wrong side. Hope this helps.

It was surprisingly fun to build a tower from cardboxes. :-)

My first game was pure chaos, but in the second one I got a hang of it (although 6 meters is best I can do).

The movement feels little bit cluncy, but it might as well be by design - hard to tell. Visuals are simple (and sometimes little disturbing - yes weird "cardboard man" - I am talking about you!), but functional.

Good job!

Thanks for your comment! I was always like: ”I might change the Playersprite later.“ but I never did xD
