Fun little game! I was missing a "continue to next level" butten (or using Enter) and some sound effects for clicking the items. Feels rather polished otherwise. Good job. :+1:.
Also, the items rotated violently after I picked them up. You could consider dampening the rotational force on the first .25 seconds after picking it up or so. Although the rotating also feels like part of the charm and could give a feel for the item's weight. ^^

Looks great, and the different items are so fun. Controlling them is a bit tricky, but I think it's part of the challenge, and contributes to the wacky vibe.

Runner's PeakReally nice interpretation of the theme. I completed all levels with 3 starts and this allows me to offer advice as I am clearly a pro gamer :D
I would have loved to see more items, of more weights. Items that react to eachother, or can't be stacked/are fragile. The time limit was so long it felt like it made more sense to have a limit on dropped items as part of the score, 3*s requiring no droppages, or something similar
That said though, great work, implementation was good, no major bugs, all felt good!
Well done!

NeuromotherControls feel a bit finicky, and I had some issues with the rubber ducky spasming, but I really loved this game, particularly the art. I think it would be additionally helpful if there was an audio cue when you get close to the timer running out!

Benedict Beaver the BuilderFor a first time entry it's a great game, it has everything to be a complete game. More variation on the target weight would be nice but that didn't stop me from getting medals on all the levels. Come check out the fish swarmer to see a game completely made by not game devs .

Paint Rolling! with HueyCute but challenging game, I liked all the different objects you could stack and the spritework was very fitting. Good job!

Intern at the 161Dark Souls of scaling games. The controls were my biggest enemy, outside of that it was a lot of fun. One bug I noticed is when I finished a level and wanted to retry for more stars, the HUD for winning wouldnt dissapear when clicking the retry button on the bottom left.

Dewin MawrI perhaps enjoyed it too much!
The ducks are evil, but the challenges felt simple enough, good work!

Slime Climb!💧really cool interpretation of the theme, and i love the art style where there are eyes on everything. had fun going back to levels to get 3 stars on them all, idk if it’s just the webGL version but the movement was a little jerky, maybe part of the challenge though. well done excellent game :D
