Tower Crane

A casual game about building a tower, made for Gamedev.js Jam. There is no victory or defeat, you can drop as many blocks as you want, and if you somehow make it to space, you can consider yourself a tower building expert. Recommended to play with sound and a cup of tea.

This is my 2nd attempt at making a game. If you're interested in seeing my history of jam games check them out here!

The source for this project is available on GitHub (open source challenge) and there's a Windows exe build available in the downloads below on itch.

Controls

WASD or Arrow Keys - Move crane around

Space - Grab block at crane hook

Q, E - Rotate held block

Escape - Pause / Restart

Theme - "Balance"

The game implements the balance theme in many ways:

• Literally balancing blocks/props...
• Do you choose patience or rush when placing blocks?
• Do you carefully pick your blocks or do you place anything that comes your way?
• Do you build a solid foundation or do you make a mess?
• etc
