Stacker Slackers by XCompWiz

made by XCompWiz for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Keep communication alive. Find new ways to communicate in this tile placement game.

Cooperate with another player online to place pieces so that the bottom colors are satisfied in order to get to the top of the pyramid and place your crown pieces.

Try word mode for a twist. Don't assume it's easier, though!

Runs on node.js. Just run, connect, and play.

A public server can be found here: https://stackers.elshowk.com/

Features a lobby system, so you can have multiple games running on a single server.

NOTE: There's sometimes a bug when first loading the game where the images don't display properly. Just refreshing the page will resolve this. Sorry for the confusion!

Hey bro! Tried to play this one. Looks really funny, as I like those cooperative like games. Though it seems to not be working correctly. We tried on the public server you published. Maybe something is wrong there? We tried twice, with me being the host and once as him. None of us had a clue on what to do in "our turn". I only had a discharge black thing and the words "your turn". So yeah! Hope I helped

@gablue Thanks for the heads up! Looks like there's some issues with it waiting on the server to share the assets, so the frame resizes at the wrong time. Refreshing the page once after starting the game should do the trick. :) Sorry for the confusion!

Nice game! I didn't really get the words part was it meant for communication with the other player? I played with a person in the same room so we didn't try that out but I feel it would make the game so much harder. Good job!

Hey, nice entry. We've encountered some glitches where the game wouldn't show correctly... the pieces and the whole board was missing, even in multiple browsers. But after some messing around, it just started working.

Interesting concept, but I wasn't really sure how we are supposed to communicate. We did do some planning so that we don't mess up the last place where the crown needs to go, but I felt constantly compelled to look at the other player's screen.

This collaboration aspect of the game wasn't really clear to me. We did still have some fun with it.

The presentation is nice and effective. Keep up the good work.
