Great game! Really liked the use of the limitation
Fun little game :) I like the concept and use of the limitation very much!
By this idea, the classic tower building concept reached a new dimension of depth. Great job :D
Nice game! I found the best way to stack a four was to land it on top of a 1. Couldn't manage it any other way. I do wish there was a way to have a wider base at the start, but overall this is a great use of the limitation
This one is so very clever! I managed to stack a 4 and keep the next on top, but the 4 still killed me later by being so thin and badly weighted.
As much as I like the concept, I will admit I'm not sure it's much fun as is. It needs more depth to it, or some kind of clever twist later on. I didn't find myself wanting to play more or go back to it. It's for a jam, so I totally understand!
Some ideas I had on the spot: rotated numbers, different fonts, maybe a way to use two or more number shapes at once to get around bad placements or partial failures.
One of the other more frustrating things with this version is that if a number falls over partway, the player is left dropping onto a slope with what feels like no chance of recovery.
I feel like letting the player build a more complex tower that uses the whole grass platform might be a good way to overcome this, as we could get clever with leaning towers supporting each other. It really depends on if the physics can handle that kind of abuse, however.
It really needs more audio. Either more sound effects, or music. Just having the sound gets a bit stale. It's a bit odd, cause in options there is even a music toggle. I'm guessing you just ran out of time, which is fine. I was playing the web version, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Really nice job with this one, and clever use of the theme!
thank you so much for your great comment.
Solid game! Just about everything was good!
This is an awesome little puzzler. I had a good time with it.
High score: 681
Neat stuff. Yeah the 4 is a bit tricky to balance, but I just discovered a solid technique:
Sevens and fours shall no longer be an issue because now the score has even more purpose. That is a 5/5 on the use of the limitation if you ask me =D.
Fun and enjoyable game. Well done.
Wow such a cool bug you found there:)) you are a Pro! I won't change the bug, I liked it:))
to place 4 and 7 and go higher try to place it on the neck:)! not the foot. good luck
Unique and cool concept! I managed to place a 4, but I didn't manage to place a number on top of it x)
Nice concept, and the use of the limitation is great!
Very fun concept and an incredibly clever use of the limitation. Didn't take the time to get past the four though... very hard to place.
Very fun concept and great use of the limitation. I also like the clean Game Art. I gotta say though the fours are indeed very hard to place
