Fun game and cool art style! I think having the ability to try and catch falling aliens might make for a neat risk/reward mechanic.

Really tough, but really fun! I wish there was exponential gravity, where it would be easier early on to keep aliens, but tougher near the end. As well, maybe making it more clear that shooting is automatic would be helpful. Reminds me of a WarioWare side game or something, super solid!

Really fun game! Stacking aliens was pretty hard at first, but super satisfying once I learned how to do it well. The balancing mechanic is designed really well!

Frantic and fun to play, very difficult to balance the tower as it gets taller!

Cute game! I like the simplicity of the design and your original artwork (very 90s!). Congrats on a great submission.

Other Notes:

  • It took me a second to figure out that you auto-shoot the scientists and how the tower toppling worked. Do your stacked allies always face right?
  • If you stand perfectly still the tower doesn't topple, but if you make a move you are now stuck going back and forth with no steady state. It could be nice snap to "steady state" if the player gets close enough to straight up and down.
  • Had to play the game in Chrome (Safari wouldn't open the game)

The art is very cute. I especially like the scientist. Nice job.

Nice! Was fun to play! I really liked the natural progression built in: as you get more aliens, you shoot more guys, so you get even more aliens, which makes it harder to balance, which means you might lose aliens. It all felt very tight and well done!

The style is charming, I like the balancing idea a lot, could even fit into the theme "Out of control"..
