Once I figured out i need to push the button and not fill in the green area, it clicked lol. Fun, even tho maybe a bit chaotic, game!

It could use a bit more juice, but I really like you simply play around the time it takes to scale up, very clever.

Scrap WarsSome of the levels were waaay too hard for me lol, but overall a nice little puzzle game!

Right On CueNeat game, though the physics do make it pretty rough to play sometimes (you might already have it, but rapier physics 2D is a plugin that might make it work a bit smoother), the results of any given idea are inconsistent, for example on the first level with the circles I stacked all of them on top of the square and it fell over, leading me to try several more times just to realize that that solution works, it just didn't work that time for some reason. Regardless, still a cool concept, with more polish and more stable physics it'd be really cool to see a full version!

Break to ScaleLove this idea! It's very unique :) I tried a lot of combinations but I feel like I am not too good at it. It had GameBoy feels which hit me in the nostalgia. I enjoyed this a lot

RuneweaverThe physics is somehow to chaotic, and the level design do not contain the chaos. Fun after all.

Push & ScaleI was really bad but I loved the idea of the game !
I would've liked to have a smoother difficulty progression (because I'm a noob).
The physics were a bit slow. Sometimes, it took like 25 seconds for a ball to roll far enough.

Echoes of the TribesInteresting idea, but the physics are way too inconsistent. I couldn't beat most of the levels even though I think I knew what the intended solution was.

Towering SuccessIt's quite difficult to predict the physics in this game. Even there are multiple different outcomes from the same setup.
However, this is creative.

Halve It Halve ItI had a lot of fun playing this, so I went through the entire game. I think I found some unintended solutions =), but that's what made the game more fun for me. There's a fair bit of randomness involved in the physics, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.

Money, please!Very fun puzzle game! Glad to see that many mechanics were utilized to the fullest potential! I truly believe that this idea can be expanded to a full game for stores!

COSMIC RECTANGLEReally love the idea. It feels like a first pass on something you could turn into a full game. The physics would need a lot of work and consistency (couldn't beat level 6 even with the example solution), but I know the pain of trying to make a physics engine behave how you want it to behave. There are soo many other block types and variations (like a sandbox mode) you could add, the possibilities are endless! Love it. Have you thought about something like Zachtronics style rating system (like for example in Magnum Opus) where you give player more blocks than are necessary for solving the problem, but once you solve it, you see how many blocks other players used and you can try to beat them?
