Block by Block

Important! Controls are available in the Pause Menu for reference ('ESC')

Blocks are climbable by walking up to them (Breath of the Wild style). I couldn't communicate this in-game.

Overview

Build out of toy blocks and climb up to reach the flag in each level!

Developed for the GMTK Game Jam 2024, Block by Block is a puzzle game inspired by my children and their love for building with blocks and Lego's and so on. You play as a toy figurine, scaling wooden block towers to reach high into the sky, or the bedroom anyway. Enjoy six simple levels and a playground area and relive the joy of building with classic wooden blocks.

Controls

Note: In the HTML5 build, sometimes you have to double click to perform certain actions. Too busy adding more levels to fix it :P

Mouse Wheel: Zoom Camera

The above controls are also available in the pause menu. I wanted to develop more of a tutorial throughout the levels, but I ran out of time!

I hope you enjoy!
