Controls are viewable in the listed screenshots.

Vertically auto-scrolling platformer where you must avoid falling, being crushed, or being killed by spawned enemies. Use your ability to grab/throw blocks and platforms to build up your tower and defeat foes.

The game can theoretically last forever, and it is slightly different each time you play it. When you die, it's back to ground level for you. Can you climb up an entire meter?

IMPORTANT NOTES:

-You can double jump. One person has already played for way too long without realizing that

-Metal Platforms will not kill enemies, but stone blocks and mini blocks will.

-You can't use the jetpack while holding a block, unless you picked up the block while using the jetpack. In case it wasn't obvious, the jetpack requires you to hold the jump button.

-Blocks can be grabbed at any time as long as they are in range of the direction you grab in. This includes when they are in the air, and immediately after they are thrown.

-Be careful when picking up blocks that are below other ones, as the blocks on top might fall and crush you. The detection for crushing is very lenient right now.

Might extend this project outside of the jam at some point.
