That is really one of the best games of the jam! I'd love to play this with lots more levels!
Really great job!

Wow, what a cool game. I am very impressed what a polished game you were able to provide. Simple but fantastic concept. I really liked that all three levels were very different and that you added the extra challenges. This brings a lot of replay value to the game!
I usually try to provide also some constructive feedback on how to improve the game, but for this entry I only found two minor things:
- I like the idea that you can use the second mouse button to to delete blocks, but also to rotate it. However, this brings a small problem with it. If you selected a block, but then decide to delete another block you need to first place the block you just selected somewhere before you can delete again. I often just placed in the nowhere and then deleted the block I wanted to delete and the one I had to just place somewhere. On the other hand I also do not have a perfect solution for this... Maybe adding an extra erase button next to the blocks?
- The music is very relaxing, but I think for this game you could have also used a bit a faster and funny music. It would also fit very well in give the game a completely different vibe.
Congratulations to this amazing entry! Very well done! I think I will definitely come back and try if I can solve all challenges.
Your game is the highlight of my rating session today: https://x.com/Stiggstogg/status/1920209513484779722

Work-Life BalanceThank you for the detailed comment and posting it on social media!
As for the two minor issues you had, I agree that they could both be worked on in the future if I make a full version. For the first problem, maybe I could have a little trash can appear in the corner of the screen when the player is holding a block to erase it. I believe I've seen something similar in other building games before.
The music was kind of a last minute thing, I was originally going to make my own but didn't have time. I was looking through a bunch or music I had licenses to and could only find cinematic, calm, or chiptune music. I chose the calm music as I thought it fit best, but I would probably make it more cartoony if I did a full version.
Thanks again for playing, I'm really glad you liked the game. 😄
One of my favorite entries in this jam!
The concept is super cool, the graphics are very nice and the music is very relaxing and it's fit very well the vibes of the game.
The physics is very good and the challenges innovative and fun. Honestly there is very few things to say against this game.
I'm just a bit sad there is only three levels 'cause I want more, a lot more!
Congrats to you, it's a very solid entry!

This game is unbalanced!Thank you so much for your kindness!
I am currently working on making a full version. I'm aiming for 50 levels or so, but I'm unsure when it will be done (hopefully within the next year).
Thanks again. Also, I really like your Yoshi avatar. 🙃
P.S. If you have any ideas for the game (levels, fixes, etc) feel free to let me know.
One of the best games I have played for the jam so far! This one was really delightful and I was surprised to see how different each level was! You really went the extra mile with the added replayability of the star system. The only critique I had was that at first the goal wasn't really clear in the tree level. This game is super interesting and original and I am really glad to have played it. Nice work!

Shredder SkullI love the artstyle!
Also the game idea is fantastic, it remembers me of Poly Bridge but much more minimal, which is a style I prefer a lot, amazing concept!

Time SurvivorWhat a gem! Makes me think of Angry Birds in reverse, creative instead of destructive.
I could see spending a lot of time with this one, optimizing to the smallest possible builds.

Dot's Wicked Gardengreat game, each level was really well-designed
mabye there could be a way to delete blocks that are already placed or n undo, so that you didn't need to scrap all that is built if you made mistake

Balancing RocksYou can erase individual blocks by holding the right mouse button in edit mode when nothing is selected. I didn't have time to make a tutorial so the controls are in the description below on the Itch page for the game.
Hope you still enjoyed the game regardless, and I'm glad you found it well-designed. 🙂
Fun game! Great puzzles, relaxing audio and pleasing, simple graphics. Love it!

Prophet's ChoiceAmazing! Fun play, I feel like with a few more levels and maybe a level editor, this could be a real game! It felt a little easy though, maybe limited blocks for some levels? But overall really fun, keep it up!

Tippy TripI'm glad you liked my game. I am planning on maybe making a full version as this is by far the best feedback I've ever gotten on a game jam (and I also really enjoy the game). A level editor is a good idea, I'll have to look into that.
I didn't want to limit the blocks as I wanted to give full control to the player to build whatever they want no matter the size, that's why I put bonus stars for beating the levels with a certain number of blocks.
Thanks you for playing my game! 😀
Whao, the game is short but it is incredibly polished !
The animated main menu with falling piece is a rare thing in game jams 👍
The transition between scenes is excellent.
The game-play is very good and the three levels are so different.
I would like to see more level.
Keep up the good work.

Balance of TrisThis is the most polished version of the block-stacking balancing interpretation of the theme by far.

Burgerpunkactually quite a tricky game but super well made it was like tetris polybridge in the first level , and then it was a whole new theme for the second level with the tree , i can see you expanding this with a whole bunch more levels fun puzzle game and good use of the theme

Load It Up!I love this game, it's very well made. I originally wanted to make a game like this but with a crane 😆 I'm glad I didn't because this was far better than what I would've made and I don't think having a crane would add anything haha
