slick and minimal but still very easy to get into and understand. Occasionally felt slightly unfair because you don't know the shape of a platform until you've chosen where to put it, meaning you may drop it off the edge of a platform because its too short, or it may be so wide it bonks the protagonist on the head and ends the game.

I thought that the game's minimal aesthetic was really pleasant, and the sounds of placing platforms were very soothing. 

Like others have mentioned, I do wish that I had a bit more information, such as the upcoming pieces; and maybe some kind of smaller "goals" while climbing (like randomly floating collectables). 
Really nice idea and interesting game though!

Submitted

this  could be a very interesting game, but I think that the player needs to know how big the next cube is so is not so random and there is some planning to make 

Submitted

Great job! Feels very fun to play

Nice job it's a unique idea. Overall good, just needs some music I think. And Maybe a little bit of varied gameplay

Submitted

Simple presentation and nice concept! Would have loved to see what the next block was.

I liked it, but it would be even better if I could know what the format of the next block would be

Submitted

Clean design, simple and fun..like Tetris and platformer in one..good job!

Submitted

Very clean presentation, took me a minute to figure it out. I'm not too familiar with stackers so I'm not sure how it's reversed but enjoyable anyways. Well done!

Submitted

A simple but very fun game! I think it would be better if the player can see what type of block is coming up next

-Enjoyment: Very fun, chill, and interesting!   Hoping to get the right block and working with what you randomly placed is fun!

-Creativity: Super cool idea!

-Presentation: The grey color pallet fits it perfectly, and I like how the placing block tone played a nice simple tune!

-Neat game indeed!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D

Really interesting concept, nice one.

Found a nice strategy where you get the player mid-screen, then stack a lot of boxes very quickly to scroll up the screen, and place one under the player before they fall all the way down! Got to 5k thanks to that, haha

Pretty good game! And I agree with the comment below, a preview that shows the next block where the cursor is would be very nice!

Suprisingly fun after a bit of experimentation! The way I played it was by building up walls around the player, then placing blocks underneath it. Could be improved if I knew how to predict what the next block would be.

Really interesting mechanic. My only feedback is for the play to move a bit faster and for you to be able to see ahead of time what block you are about to drop. Nice work!

Submitted

Unfortunately, when the game starts up, it shows a green box with "ready to play" on it. It tried clicking to it but it does nothing. Maybe I'm missing something?
Sorry I can't try your entry.

Submitted

Looks like we had a similar idea :D
I like the smooth & slick visuals, but would have like the character to be a bit easier to predict.

Submitted

The concept is cool but I don't see how I'm supposed to do anything if I don't even know the dimensions of the next shape. I like the art style though.

Submitted

Nice game, It was fun while being simple to understand.

Submitted

Cool idea. I wish the character moved a little faster, but I had fun anyways. :D
