Hi everyone! I just released I Was Bored (ひまだったから。), a cozy but surprisingly tricky first-person stacking game. It's free and runs in your browser (desktop, mouse and keyboard, English / Japanese).

Stacking everyday things until the tower crashes

You're five years old. Mom has gone shopping and will be back at five. You're bored... so you start stacking the ordinary things lying around the house, as high as you can: picture books, toy blocks, mugs, a school backpack, a daruma...

  • Realistic-ish physics: weight, shape and slipperiness feel like the real thing, so the order and the orientation you stack in decide how high you can go
  • Little hands: what you hold shakes a bit, more with heavy things. Hold Shift to be careful
  • Climb up onto the step stool or a chair once the tower is taller than you
  • Two modes: While Mom's Out (10 minutes, ends with a polaroid of your tallest tower) and Free Play, plus 14 small challenges like "25 cm of books only"

Everything you see and hear is generated by code, with no image or audio files. More on how it was made in the launch devlog.

How tall did your tower get? And what would you want to stack next?
