Construct to Climb

Description

"Construct to Climb" is a game made in 4 days for the 2024 GMTK game jam.  The goal of the game is to scale hills, mountains and other obstacles with custom built contraptions.  The game features a unique building system, where each part can be many different sizes, and is not constrained to a grid!  I hope you enjoy!

Controls:

The game explains how to play, but I'll outline the controls here as well:

Building: Select the block you want to add and then click and drag inside the building area to choose the scale and position of the block.  

Driving: Use the right and left arrow keys to spin any wheels or other appendages that you've built into your contraption!

Rocket booster: Click the button in the bottom left to ignite your rockets (if you've built them)

Tips:
1. The order you place blocks matters.  Placing a wheel on a rectangle creates a powered wheel, while placing a rectangle on a wheel simply attaches the blocks together.

2. Larger rockets will burn for longer, but weigh more!

3. If you get stuck on a level, feel free to skip it.  I didn't have the chance to do much play testing, so some levels might be too hard or too easy.
