This game is really nice. It reminds me of a minigame in Minecraft where you had to copy the build exactly. I will say, the time restriction was a little strict, but I liked having to start over a few times to memorize the layout of the castle. This game has the perfect mix of stressful and relaxing. Building sand castles on the beach with nice nature sounds, but if time runs out, your castle gets wiped out and you have to start again. Also the audio and visuals of this game fit together perfectly to create a good vibe.

Great Entry :)

Hi, I like the idea of the game but the control is sometime frustating. The game is still fun.

Wow, such a great submission! Your take on the limitation is genius and the game is really fun! Please make this into a full game and release it for phones, I would love to play it more! Also add a zoom in function for the images on the left, I couldn't see it properly sometimes. Great job!

You had me at the menu screen honestly. It's just so fun to create your own little medieval sand tower. The aesthetics are great and and the sounds are peaceful and satisfying. A recommendation would be adding a way to place sand on the side of blocks. Also the photo could get in the way of building sometimes, so a way to hide it would be appreciated. Overall this was fantastic!

We think the concept should be developed further :-) Nice entry!

Super cool idea, building and voxel together it’s awesome. Maybe I would do it bigger? Anyway, great job!

This is realized so well! I only wish the icons were a bit more intuitive. Doesn't matter though since this is some grade a stuff!

Interesting one!! This is the first game in the jam that I encountered which has a building mechanic. Loved it<3
Good luck with the jam. I hope you like other games in the jam too<3

Fun! Good idea to have 3x3 and 5x5 build tools. I wish the limitation didn't force the gameplay to be so strict, but it was still very enjoyable.

Really love the voxel style. Has a lot more uniqueness than most jam games!

Awesome game! I like building-style games, and yours was top tier. Great mechanics, use of limitation, art, and music designs

A really clever idea for a game mechanic. It's like CAD for sand castles!

Nice idea i like it.

Original concept and original use of the limitation.

The controls are nice and responsive and the concept is great! Like the simplistic look too. Did get a bug in the first level where the flag would fall through and not break the castle, but for a jam game it's nice :D

Thanks! Yeah im not really sure why it sometimes does that

I love this! It was so fun and relaxing to play, even though the time limit was pretty unforgiving. My only two suggestions are music and maybe an easy mode. Amazing entry!
