Music Was just on the spot.
Game was fun, I have to admit that is a little bit Slow Phased. I wish the camera could move faster.

Other than that, sometimes it is not clear when you can finish a level.

Overall felt the physics working and nice concept.

Cool game! I enjoyed playing it. I think it could be better if camera would be more free and fast.

Really fun idea! I enjoyed playing, only feedback would be to allow for a bit more camera movement to view the red buildings better. Other than that really cool game!

Really great idea, I really want to play this kind of physical puzzle game. But there are some structures won't fall even there is nothing below, maybe you forget some component? You can do better!!!

Very cool and fun game and the physics is quite satisfying!
One suggestion would be to give the camera more control for better viewing.

Really solid mini-game/concept, I'd love to play a full version of it honestly. Really impressive for a weekend of work!

It's a great job with a fun idea event if I find that at the begining it's not easy to undestand the objectives

This is a fun physics game! I had a couple of issues where I had to try the same solution a couple of times before it would work (particularly on levels involving leverage) but thats kind of the nature of physics games. I also struggled with the camera controls a little, particularly on understanding the levels with linked parts I found it really hard to put the camera in a spot where I could figure out what I wanted to do. Overall though, really fun little physics game that looks amazing, and I liked the character writing a lot too.

I'll be honest I couldn't figure out how to pass level 2, despite nearly 20 attempts. If you can give me a hint I'll try it again and see if I can finish the game. That said, this was a cool concept but I did not like the camera controls.

Nicely done. Solid entry, good mechanics and overall fun experience. Sometime the destruction feels a bit random. You understand what you need to do but have to do it over and over until the physics play out in the way you had it in mind.

And I didn't really get how to use lock.

Dialogues are a highlight for me!

Incredible game! The idea was pretty good, and as a result, the game is really fun to play. The physics were also pretty nice, which added to the fun. The 3d models were really nice, and the music was also really appreciated, the only thing that I'd add would be some sound effects. Overall, you made a neat and fun little game, so congratulations!

@cheeks For Level 2 I had to remove these two blocks quickly right here. I'm not really sure where you're supposed to apply the lock mechanic in that level, but I didn't need it

@cheeks Hey, happy to help! If you lock the second block starting from the bottom and then get rid of the supports, the structure will reach a lot further as it crumbles.

Cool game! I love the idea, and the physics work just like I want them too. I did find the levels too hard (I had to look on here for the solution to 2 and couldn't figure out 3), and I had trouble with the camera. Overall I like the mechanics a lot and the music and graphics combine for a cool vibe. Good job!

I enjoyed the game a lot! Took me a while to figure out the locking mechanic, but the game looks great and is fun to play.

Nice work :)
