How does the game fit the theme?
Stacking bricks seems simple—but as the tower grows, instability creeps in. The slightest imbalance can send everything tumbling down, and if you take too long, bricks break, adding to the chaos. It’s a game where everything seems under control… until it isn’t.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I did not make the assets for the bricks, those are from Kenney. And, the music is from pixabay.

Nice little game! I used to have a ton of Lego when I was small. I agree with @cackfog—a bit less time needed to get each brick would be better.
Really enjoyed it, tricky towers meets lego! took a while to figure out that each block needed a few seconds to be 'available', which was a good mechanic but could have been better explained. Other than that, looked great, played well, good fun :)
Super fun idea honestly! I found the best way to make it to the top is just keep stacking right on top of each other, until my foundation kinda dissapeared.
Great job!
Thank you!
Yes, it shouldn't be possible to just place bricks on top of each other like that. That is a bug, not a feature ;-)
GG
Nice idea!
Ty!
I can see this one being fun with different game modes or challenges. Good game!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

A simple game but makes you want to play it again and again.
Thank you so much!
Fun game! Would love to see this grow!
Again, ty!! I will update the game in the near future.
The art is very clean and the mechanics feel responsive. This is a great foundation for a larger game!
Thank you so much!
Nice chill game :) Loved the overall aesthetic and game feel!
Thank you very much!!
Yep. chill, and simple experience! :)
Ty for playing my game :)
👉 Pretty nice game! The mechanics are cool, the colors are great, the sound effects are well chosen, and the music is nice too. The menu and the font used are cool as well. For me it fit well with the theme.
👉 A few suggestions: At the start, it might be great if the timer were a little slower, and then it could gradually speed up over time. Also, when selecting the brick to place (1234), it would be awesome if you could also use the characters " &é"' ".
Thank you for your feedback!
I think you are right about the timer. It is a bit "head on" at first. You need to get used to the mechanics first.
Cheers!
Pretty neat but i find pressing the numbers and pressing the mouse to deploy the selected block is a bit odd for me. Maybe its better to press the standard q,w,e,r and auto deploy wherever the mouse at would be more natural especially when the game is strictly time controlled.
Thank you for your feedback!
I am going to work on the placement mechanics in the future, and I have taken your feedback with me.
GG!
This is a fun game, I found it quite addictive too! I also love the lego theme, great work!
Thanks a lot!
Really enjoyed the game (My best score was 914)! Simple, fun, visually appealing, and super replayable. Great work!
I am really glad you liked it! 914 is a great score
Very fun little game! I really enjoyed building the towers. I was a bit confused at the beginning because I can let the first brick drop from the sky and then i need to move the cursor close to the tower to build. The music and visuals fit very well. Also nice interpretation of the theme. Awesome work!
Thank you for playing my game!
It sure is a bit confusing - definitely need to rework that bit. I think I will find a completely different placement mechanic in the future. Feel free to check in later for updates!
It took a bit of time to see that the bricks were on a cooldown but once I got that, it was fun to keep stacking. The music and vibe were great also and added to the stress of the tower wobbling.
I just got past 1000 before it toppled over, will definitely keep playing to get a better score!
Getting 1000 is beating my own highscore, lol. GJ!
I will take into consideration that the cooldowns can be hard to spot when updating the game in the future! Ty!
Very cute artstyle and color choices for the visual! Its simple, yet quite effective. Nailed the theme. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words!
Took a few tries to realize the bricks were disappearing with the timer.
But once i worked that out I managed to build it up pretty high!
Awesome! Did you not get the guide at the beginning of the game? It might not be obvious enough.
Glad you liked it!
What a lovely game! I loved the chill music and visuals :)
Gotta say I got really confused at the first moments playing, because I didn't know the bricks would disappear haha, I was like "ayo what's happening?"
But after realizing that it was really fun to play against the timer, I just wish I could put the pieces anywhere I wanted, and not just near other bricks.
Anyway, great work dude!
Thank you so much!
Yeah, there's supposed to be a guide in the beginning of the game, but I can see that more people haven't seen or gotten it, haha. I can understand why it was confusing then.
Interesting that you'd want to put the pieces anywhere. There seems to be a few opinions about how the bricks should be placed. I think I will collect all the feedback and figure out a way to do it better. Will definitely have an update in the near future.
Thanks for playing!
Interesting concept, quite polished and very fitting for the theme!
As for potential improvements: I sometimes ended up with a negative score, not sure why. And I think you should be able to drop blocks from anywhere (just like the first one). Feels like the space where you're allowed to place additional blocks is quite narrow especially given the timer.
Fun game, well done!
Thank you so much!
You are not the first one with a negative score. I have to look into that You are also not the first one to mention the brick placement. I will have an update in the near future with some improvements and updates.
