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!

Very very fun game! I live for fast paced games that feel a little bit chaotic! Feels very polished
Thank You! We are sorry for the scale problem. It changes based on browser scale and we didn't have time to test it properly. This is going to get fixed with the new version!
Interesting game concept! I really enjoyed it!
Shame for the whole zooming out thing. This is 100% why we should always try to upload the game early to check for these types of errors :D
Also it's great that you guys finished a campaign or sorts, and an arcade mode!
Thankyou for playing!
Fun game! I like the art it looks really nice!
Wow got me feeling all bricked....... I am not going there.
Good job, 10 brick / 10 brick
IDRANTE. noice
fun physics game, very creative! Sometimes feels a bit too easy, but this way it is fun to play it from the beginning and that is probably the purpose of a jam.
Thankyou!
Thanks for playing and for the kind words :)
BRICKS BRICKS BRICKS
I couldn't start the game on the browser version as the continue button goes beyond the screen.
The game is very creative. I like the idea of gradually building a single structure instead of placing many structures as is the norm in tower defense games.
The uniform size of the bricks as well as the little pre built tower in the beginning, guides the player into creating their own carefully crafted fort. However, the physics aren't fine tuned to allow for this. I tried quite long trying to stack the bricks, but one brick would eventually glitch out of place and bring the whole tower down. If the intention was to make the game more chaotic, I'd advise to make the shapes more irregular, so people can't try to neatly stack them together. Maybe instead of bricks, it can be misshapen rocks?
Thankyou for the feedback! The browser version is tuned for 1920 x 1080 at normal scale, so if you have a zoomed browser it is cropped. We do know the physics are a bit unforgiving but we did our best in the little time we have for creating the game and balancing it. We already fixed it in the final version.
Had a very fun time!
The games very well made. Had a blast throwing bricks at the enemies.
Also Bricks rise up!
Glad you had fun and thanks for playing!
Bricks rise up!
I like that the goal you are defending is also responsible for defending itself! It's a cool twist on the tower defense formula. But the bricks could be kind of unruly. It's kind of easy to knock the tower down while you're building it. The only way I could beat the final level was by holding the Ten Commandments on a brick and holding up the brick inside the end goal for thirty seconds. It might help stability if the brick you were currently holding couldn't affect the others. Or maybe parts of the tower could lock in place if you successfully complete a wave? Then again, it can be fun and hectic to have a heap of bricks.
The art was also gorgeously done!
Thankyou for playing. Part of the design of the game is that you can knock off your buildings. It's more of a chaotic game than a strategy one. Also, yes, we do now that the last level is kinda unbalanced at the moment. We did balanced in the patched games. We did patched the friction between blocks tho, to be more stable. Thanks for the feedbacks!
LMAO, they speed every languages. Also the amazon box as a reward killed me ahah, nice game and nice physics it was super fun ahah
Really fun game! Was fun to try making the as chaotic as possible xD
Nice job!
Awesome art style! Really creative take on the theme! We did have some scaling issues and had to zoom out our browser settings to start the game, but nonetheless, awesome job!
Yes, we do know about the scale. It is built to be seen at 100% browser scale. Thankyou for the feedback!
I really like the gameplay and i hope one day you will collaborate with Scott Cowthon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! I liked the mechanics where you need to get the king to the top by stacking blocks, it's really challenging! And I liked the artwork and music too.
I found that the blocks will keep sliding when stacking, maybe you can check this out.

Thankyou so much, we will check this out!
Design fits it so well and an overall really good tower defense game. Polished for a jam game, great job!
Thankyou for playing!
Really loved this one! Very catchy and the design is perfect!
This game is the BOMB! Really entertaining, I hope you collaborate with Fortnite one day!
