How does your game fit the theme?
Bricked Up is about reaching the sky with your own Babel tower while playing around with the scale of objects and the building itself – and also defeating waves of enemies. Other than that, "scaling" can also be used as a synonym for climbing, which is basically what your enemie will do in the game!

This game is great! A tower defence where the brick of the tower are your weapon, great idea, well executed

Also you managed to cram a story mode in a game made in 4 days? Awesome!

Very good game, seems like a true finished browser game. The OSTs are incredible, good job!

Why should i play the game in a normal way when i can play it like a masochist?

Lost 3 hours on this level trying to beat it like this, only to lose multiple times. 10\10 would do it again.

Thank you and thanks for playing! :D

This was such a wonderful game for me. I loved the biblical themes. The choice between using your bricks to climb up vs using them to destroy enemies (which upgrades them) was pretty fun and inventive. Kudos!

It was just a black screen for me... any tips?

The Last Scaler

Just reload the page. It could be slow if you have many tabs opened. Else, try a different browser.

Sometimes itch is slow on the server side.

Okay, i actually managed to play it!
A really fun idea and execution, however i think i broke the game on wave 17 :( It was fun nonetheless!

Fabio SalvadorDeveloper1 year ago

Thankyou for playing! Yes, the game right now is pretty easy breakable. We focused first on making the game fun, then balancing.

Excellent polish-i found the tower was a little too sensitive to movement.

Thanks :) We'll definitely play around with the parameteres once the rating period is over!

I love the continued introduction of new ideas and variety in the gameplay over time thanks to different enemies and bricks - building progression into a game jam game is awesome. My favorite part of this game was dropping bricks on enemies - not only because it added multiple purposes to the bricks beyond defense (just like the canon bricks) but also because it made me be more active as a player. It was a nice touch that it seemed like dropping heavier bricks and/or bricks from higher did more damage; and how that also damaged the bricks themselves. Nicely done!

Amazing Itch Pages, one of the best i've seen so far! The game idea is cool and very fun to play, yet a bit unbalanced.

TheJuniorBirdmanSubmitted1 year ago(+5)

Loved the theming and visuals! Very creative ideas all round, this must've been fun to work on. Would've loved to see a bit more balance in the waves so that the mechanics could really shine.

Like I almost can't believe that such a polish game you managed in 4 days. It's incredible the amount of mechanics and variations that are in the game and even different systems, animations and graphics. The only thing that takes away from the beauty of the whole thing is the balance. The game offers an awful lot but the player can only get by with the cannons. It's a shame because combining all the different blocks and building a fortress would definitely be mega fun. To this I would like to add just a small idea. It would be nice if the blocks could be rotated somehow, not just by placing them so that they rotate. It could be on the right button and rotate slowly to the right. I think it would add more control to the game.

Scalecore Defender

Thank you for the wonderful comment!! We tried to balance it as well as we could before the end, then basically ran out of time. Comments like yours are incredibly helpful in that regard! Also the rotate while not dragging thing is a really neat idea 👍

figadeiDeveloper1 year ago(+4)

One last thing: did right click to rotate not work for you, actually? Normally if you right click while dragging a brick it should rotate 90°.

Have you ever asked yourself, what if there was a game that merged Bloons Tower Defense 5 and Bloons Tower Defense 6? Well, the answer will surely make you Bricked Up

DirtyOnionSubmitted1 year ago(+6)

I like the biblical theming, and crushing enemies with bricks is fun. The waves are a little slow though (at least in the parts I played) and a lot of the time there's just no enemies on screen. "Bricked up" is such a great title btw.

Impressive scale of work done in such a short time! Can't believe you have a story mode AND an arcade mode. Really neat take on the theme, great work!
