What's Upblock?

Upblock is a game I made for submission to the 2024 GMTK game jam.

The theme was "Built to Scale". In Upblock, you place blocks, trying to build as tall of a tower as you can in 60 seconds. Be careful! If your block falls off the edge, your game is over.

Ultimately, I didn't feel I made enough progress on it to submit.

It is not very fun, and very unaesthetic - but if you want to play it anyway, here it is: https://ryanbraganza.github.io/upblock/

Controls

Placing a block

1. Hold Spacebar - start growing a block
2. Release Spacebar - stop growing a block, and start moving it
3. Press Spacebar - drop the block

Once the block has come to a stop, repeat the process to build as high as you can!

Starting a new game
