Fun for a while, but there isn't much to it. The music is nice.

Cool game, my wife was watching me play and asked if she could have a go. Her review "I liked that game, it was good".

I also made my game with libGDX, and music from http://www.abundant-music.com/ and sounds from http://www.bfxr.net/. Even with the same themes it great how much diversity there is in the games produced.

Cool game. I imagine this is what being a dock worker is like.

I had a lot of fun playing this game, it's always fun just messing around with physics in a game, and in this game, the tetris like game concept combined with the silly physics of the game made for a great experience

The graphics and audio were sub-par, and the audio was also fairly loud.

Overall this was a very enjoyable experience, thank you for the game! :D

Nicely made game, short and sweet! Good job :)

Fun game. My highest score was 13m, which is probably pretty appauling.

Nice graphics and musics. The game's physics are quite impressive, but I noticed you can get a sneaky win by dropping the crates immediately after they appear (as they have very little initial momentum).

Cool game overall! :)

Wow this was really fun, it was just the right amount of crazy. Nice work!

The instant retry was key here, I played a bunch of times.

The comments from the sky were a nice touch. I kind of wished I could see the containers plummet into the sea and that it would be hilarious, but I understand why the screen has to scroll that part down so I have room to play.

Also, good job making the song for a compo!

This is one of those games which is a simple concept and easy to pick up, but you can actually get a lot of mileage out of it. Some people have commented that it's short or gets old quickly, but I found that because of the quirky physics, it allowed for emergent strategies (such as making use of slipped boxes to form a larger base for your structure), which gave it good replayability. The swinging chain was a really nice touch. Good job!

Simple and well executed. I did encounter some issues when it comes to graphics and clarity of gameplay, but overall the game works and is cohesive enough to guarantee a fun gameplay experience. I do wish there was more to it, though.

Combining physics with a stacking puzzle game was really cool. Sinking the boat gave me mixed messages (I thought I was doing something bad), but it definitely seemed like a concept that could turn into a full-fledged experience. Well done.

The Music is not bad but the game is a little boring after a while. The use physics was nice as well as the witty comments when you miss.

hahaha, fun, i got 15 meters after a couple of tries, nice busy music and funny simple sound effects.. wizz! wooo! interesting idea too, i count only one button, but the stack does grow if you play well enough. good work :D

Not entirely sure how but I bugged out the sound that plays when a crate lands, it'd play like times quickly. Overall pretty fun though, offered a good amount of challenge

fun and amusing, certainly not easy, my highest score was only 16m. a little frustrating when you dropped a container and it would collide with an instantly appearing new container before it had gone anywhere. lighthearted entertainment, good effort!

Is this a growth or two button theme? I saw none.. the idea may be good but the physics makes the gameplay too hard.

My best score was 16m, I wasn't too good =P Interesting but it got kind of dull after a while. The music was good though, I liked that a lot!

Great music and fun game play. I wasn't very good at this. Not sure what the trick was to stacking before the containers started swinging wildly out of control. Still nice play on the growing theme.

Challenging well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/ONV56vKkbDk

I am now prepared to be a dock worker right? Nice game, took me a few tries to get the hang of it then i could keep stacking. Maybe if you add some different kinds of crates it could mix it up a bit.
