Introduction
Tricky Towers, developed and published by WeirdBeard, is a fantastically enjoyable physics-based tower building game. Mildly inspired by Tetris games of old, the goal is simple: respond to the blocks given to you by manipulating their position to make them fit neatly into your tower. The difference here? The tower is balancing delicately on a platform, and one wrong move can bring all of your progress tumbling down.
This title delivers a fresh, engaging and downright challenging puzzle game playable in single player, local multiplayer and online, Tricky Towers could be the multiplayer game you have been looking for.
Read on for a Rapid Review of this creative and colourful Indie title.
Looks and Sounds
Visually, Tricky Towers is a delight. It seamlessly blends bright colours, clean lines and engaging backdrops while also ensuring it does not detract from the gameplay. I loved the way each game mode had unique scenery – it set the tone for each of the different game modes and provided an element of personality.
When considering the audio content in this title, I was initially impressed. The soundtrack brought some character to proceedings, and the sounds emanating from the witches and wizards were well-placed. Due to the challenging, fast-paced nature of the game, particularly in the later levels, this audio did become stale at times, and I think more variety would have been beneficial.
Gameplay and Replayability
The three game modes on offer in Tricky Towers are single player, local and online multiplayer. Single player consists of a series of challenges, reminiscent of Candy Crush Saga and the like, where you complete a challenge set in the given time before moving up through the increasingly more difficult levels. Although an enjoyable time can, here, it is the local and online multiplayer modes where this game truly shines.
My wife and I spent an enjoyable evening or two playing the competitive modes that Tricky Towers had to offer. First up was ‘Race’, where, you guessed it, you race to the finish line by building a tower tall enough in size to reach the finish line suspended in the sky. Next was ‘Survival’, one which offers you three lives and each time a block falls from your tower; you lose a life. The first to lose all three lives is defeated. Finally, ‘Puzzle’ – perhaps the most difficult of the three – requires you to use a predetermined set of blocks that both players are given to create a tower which does not touch the laser beam across the screen.
This game is not your ordinary game of reverse Jenga though, the wizards floating on their clouds overseeing your gameplay a pivotal role. Successfully navigating the blocks to create a tower mean that you earn rewards. You can select whether this reward has a positive effect on your tower or an adverse impact on the oppositions tower. Both can be very satisfying and keeps the game exciting. Delivering the devastating blow on your partners tower at the last possible moment is something that never gets old!
Conclusion
Tricky Towers has a lot to be praised for! Its ingenuity in crafting an addictive puzzler which is both accessible and challenging in equal measure is impressive. Almost more impressive is that it had Mrs Hughes keen to keep playing – we’ve even started to use it to decide who makes the tea! For some, the price may be a sticking point. However, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and I hope you get the chance to try it for yourselves.

MyMiniFactory user Lucia Di Santo has invented that game that’s part Lego, part Jenga, and part mathematical engineering, that’s sure to trick and challenge your friends. Each 3D printed Tricky Brick has a different weight and balance to it, meaning you can connect and build them up into awkward, precarious and gravity-defying forms—just as long as you don’t topple them first.

While the rectangular pieces all look more or less the same, each has particular features that can help you select the right piece for your tower before you even pick it up. See-through triangles indicate a hollow, lightweight block, whereas the smaller closed-off shapes are the heavier ones. What makes the Bricks super tricky is that each block has a different centre of mass—some will lean towards the left, others to the right, and if you’re lucky a few might be grounded. In order to know, the arrow design on the sides of the bricks points you towards the direction of the weight.
“In a nutshell I wanted abstract bricks that I could stack in unusual ways…I always thought it would be cool if all the weight was on one side of the brick so that it wouldn’t fall over when hanging off the table or off another brick,” said Di Santo. “3D printing made my idea possible.'
The files were designed in SolidWorks and allow for support-free 3D printing, reducing material waste and the need for post-processing finishes. “It is VERY important to print with 100% density,” she warned. The blocks had a layer height of 0.15 and printing took approximately 16 hours with 242g of filament. The starter collection files are available to download on MyMiniFactory, and obviously the bigger you want your towers to be, the more bricks you can 3D print.
Designing them wasn’t simply a matter of drawing out the rectangles and printing, however—these aren’t your average Lego bricks. In order for each brick to have its own weight and centre of mass, Di Santo partnered up with engineer and mathematical whizz Anthony Voilque. Using SolidWorks, he was able to come up with a calculation that would keep the centre of mass of the brick as far away from the middle as possible, all while ensuring that from the outside, it still looked like a regular brick.
This is a tricky task, since a brick that is too small doesn’t have room to move the centre of gravity far enough away, while bricks that are too long wouldn’t fit on a standard desktop 3D printer bed. If you’re interested in the exact math behind it, you can see how the balance works in the diagram below.
The blue square shows where the center of mass of the rectangle, the yellow triangle is the centre of mass of the triangles and the green circle represents the overall centre for the whole brick
Di Santo predicts that Tricky Bricks would be a fun game for users of all ages. There’s no complicated set-up or instruction manual: just pick up a piece and then try to use your intuition and balance to build up from there. Children can experiment with wobbly towers while learning the principles of balance and engineering, while adults can challenge their friends, countering each other’s weight or trying to use every single piece before the inevitable fall.
Tricky Bricks is a fun variation on classic brick games, which nearly every one has played with at some point in their lives (even Minecraft is just a digital riff). Di Santos plans to expand the game even further by designing add-on packs and adaptations, which will all be available to download and print. Will your towers wobble or win? There’s only one way to find out.
