Really fun to play! I think it allows for a lot of creativity especially when you're waiting a while until the next set of pegs.

I'm not sure why, but I was unable to move the blocks.  I'd click, and the mouse cursor would disappear, but I wouldn't get a block.  I watched somebody stream it, so I know it's possible!  Not sure why it didn't work for me. :(

oh that's a pretty strange bug. I had a very similar issue before due to the game not taking control of the pawn which controls the pickup scripting. I'm was pretty sure it was fixed in this  version, but I'll look more into it.

very cool take on a Foddian physics puzzler! I just wish there was a way to manually influence the scrolling of the screen. I scuffed my tower pretty early and couldn't go back down to fix (or break) it. 10/10 Bennet Foddy impression tho :)

Yeah the camera was a really hard part of this game, I'm pretty sure I've fixed this particular bug in the updated version I'll put out once the jam's over. I wanted to avoid a manual camera to avoid players from going down and picking simpler blocks, or using blocks that just pattern well over and over. If I were to make this game again I would probably go for a manual camera and change how the grabbing blocks works. Thanks so much for the comment.

Amazing Foddian take on the tricky towers/ tetris building blocks games. Had a really fun time making my mess of a tower last all the way to the top!

I'm definitely not patient enough for this, but it's a really creative take on the theme!  I'm a fan of the voice over, definitely a good Foddian callback.

Unique twist on the genre that I haven't seen before. The most nerve-wracking game of Tetris I've ever played. Looking forward to more!

I really like your narration. It was a good take on the fodian type of narration. The game itself is fun and reminds me of tricky towers. I was never able to pull of that balancing of having titled blocks onto of each other. I guess its just something my brain cant figure out. Good job.
