Babel: The Making-of

An arcade puzzle game about building towers to the clouds and beyond!

In "Babel: The Making-of", your mission is to use physics-enabled pieces to build a tower as high as you can, while the timer on the right sidebar and the casual wind keep you on your toes. Every time you reach a checkpoint, all the pieces below will "solidify" and will become unmovable. Furthermore, you will gain random special pieces, which can be enabled using the three colorful buttons on the left sidebar, and provide special abilities for you to discover.

As the name implies, the entirety of the plot is inspired by the "Tower of Babel" myth from the Book of Genesis. However, the game does not depict the original story, and takes many creative liberties.

(We apologize in advance for the music, sorry...)

The linux build is the main development build, and thus it is the most stable and optimized one. However, the WASM (web) build has been thoroughly tested on both mobile and desktop, and should work just fine on powerful devices. Raylib was used as the game engine, and all assets are embedded within the executables.

If you experience any bugs or crashes, please report them to "segfaultdev" on Discord (if you find them post-jam, we might fix them after the voting period ends).

Thank you!
