NOTE: Because of the Theme tie, we allowed everyone to pick either Theme. Using both was optional. To keep things simple, there will still only be one Theme category. Every category in Ludum Dare voting is an opinion, so you’re welcome to rate them as you see fit. But we encourage you to be fair in your scores to people that chose only one Theme, and not both.
ALSO: Itch.io has an experimental game downloader over here. You may find it useful.

Cool game, my wife was watching me play and asked if she could have a go. Her review "I liked that game, it was good".
I also made my game with libGDX, and music from http://www.abundant-music.com/ and sounds from http://www.bfxr.net/. Even with the same themes it great how much diversity there is in the games produced.
Cool game. I imagine this is what being a dock worker is like.
Nice game, but well umm, i am really bad at it :P still wont give you bad score because of that.
I had a lot of fun playing this game, it's always fun just messing around with physics in a game, and in this game, the tetris like game concept combined with the silly physics of the game made for a great experience
The graphics and audio were sub-par, and the audio was also fairly loud.
Overall this was a very enjoyable experience, thank you for the game! :D
Fun game. My highest score was 13m, which is probably pretty appauling.
Nice graphics and musics. The game's physics are quite impressive, but I noticed you can get a sneaky win by dropping the crates immediately after they appear (as they have very little initial momentum).
Cool game overall! :)
Wow this was really fun, it was just the right amount of crazy. Nice work!
The instant retry was key here, I played a bunch of times.
The comments from the sky were a nice touch. I kind of wished I could see the containers plummet into the sea and that it would be hilarious, but I understand why the screen has to scroll that part down so I have room to play.
Also, good job making the song for a compo!
Something about this sticks with me. I like it :) Good job!
great audio too, really suits the game.
This is one of those games which is a simple concept and easy to pick up, but you can actually get a lot of mileage out of it. Some people have commented that it's short or gets old quickly, but I found that because of the quirky physics, it allowed for emergent strategies (such as making use of slipped boxes to form a larger base for your structure), which gave it good replayability. The swinging chain was a really nice touch. Good job!
Simple and well executed. I did encounter some issues when it comes to graphics and clarity of gameplay, but overall the game works and is cohesive enough to guarantee a fun gameplay experience. I do wish there was more to it, though.
Combining physics with a stacking puzzle game was really cool. Sinking the boat gave me mixed messages (I thought I was doing something bad), but it definitely seemed like a concept that could turn into a full-fledged experience. Well done.
I had fun with this for quite a while. It runs on mac too btw.
The Music is not bad but the game is a little boring after a while. The use physics was nice as well as the witty comments when you miss.
hahaha, fun, i got 15 meters after a couple of tries, nice busy music and funny simple sound effects.. wizz! wooo! interesting idea too, i count only one button, but the stack does grow if you play well enough. good work :D
Not entirely sure how but I bugged out the sound that plays when a crate lands, it'd play like times quickly. Overall pretty fun though, offered a good amount of challenge
Nice gameplay and graphics, really cool mechanics, congrats! I liked it!
fun and amusing, certainly not easy, my highest score was only 16m. a little frustrating when you dropped a container and it would collide with an instantly appearing new container before it had gone anywhere. lighthearted entertainment, good effort!
Is this a growth or two button theme? I saw none.. the idea may be good but the physics makes the gameplay too hard.
My best score was 16m, I wasn't too good =P Interesting but it got kind of dull after a while. The music was good though, I liked that a lot!
Great music and fun game play. I wasn't very good at this. Not sure what the trick was to stacking before the containers started swinging wildly out of control. Still nice play on the growing theme.
Challenging well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/ONV56vKkbDk
Well I had a lot of fun playing this game. My best score is 19.
I am now prepared to be a dock worker right? Nice game, took me a few tries to get the hang of it then i could keep stacking. Maybe if you add some different kinds of crates it could mix it up a bit.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Fun for a while, but there isn't much to it. The music is nice.
