Constrictor Constructor

In Constrictor Constructor your job is to build a super tall skyscraper block by block. Reach for the stars!

Play in your browser but without the neon glow: https://darabos.github.io/pyweek-40/no-glow (Recommended for mobile.)

Made with Pyxel.

Tips for playing:

  • Control with arrow keys + space.
  • Pick up new blocks from the floating factories at the top, or use existing blocks in the city.
  • A block that is at height X is worth X points. Go for skyscrapers!
  • The special blocks with sky bridges connect adjacent skyscrapers that are the right height. Both ends count for points!
The story so far:

"i can't breathe anymore..." says deckard, then puffs his cigarette some more "i need to get out of this city...".
In the 57th floor of the building, the only thing he can see is a sea of advertisements and propaganda.

Tall skyscrapers, filled with billboards, pumping products that no one needs to buy, but everyone is craving for.

No need for mind control, when you can bombard people with ideas so much, that they think it's their own idea.

Building further up means constricting people even further, with no view of the ground, the trees, the grass (wherever they may have been left)
