What a fun and original take on the theme! Very well put together, especially in just a single day. Music was great, writing was cheeky and fun. Thanks for sharing!

Cute little game. The effect of the tower growing was quite satisfying. I yearned for some sound effects though.

I like the message of the game. Growth through confidence really resonated with me and my personal experience in life. My Highscore

I'm really impressed with how you prioritized your time on this game, you focused your attention on really bang-for-your-buck items like the dynamic lighting to help feel the passage of time... I loved the dialogue, this was a very effective and transporting experience, great job! I got to 144 stories ;)

Thank you very much! I was also really happy with how I prioritized features for the time. It usually doesn't work out this well.

You were very close to the max of 150. Congrats :-)

a really unique concept and a unique take on the tower theme. funny dialogue and chill music, very cozy game. i found myself gaslighting the tower and was called out on it, guess i have to work on myself LOL. great work!

Great game, I especially liked how it grew and you could kind of guess how tall it was by seeing the little black speck that is the player get smaller.

Fun little game. My favorite part was seeing the world around get revealed as the tower grew. Would be fun if at the end you changed the camera to show the sunrise over the town from the perspective of how high you got.

Really enjoyed this one. I haven't played many games where it teaches you a lesson too. Sleeper hit of a game!

Love to see a writing-heavy game! And as the tower kept rising, I was consistently surprised to see there was more to come.

This was so cute and a great story but the jokes made in the discord keep re-framing this game in my head lmao. Good work!
