About the game
Freaky Towers is a physics stacking game in the spirit of the "build a tower of falling bricks" genre. A piece drops from the top of the screen, you slide it left and right, turn it, and let go. Then physics takes over: nothing locks into a grid, so every piece you place pushes, tilts and wobbles the ones below it, and a tower that looked solid a second ago can lean and slide off the edge of its little floating island.
The goal in survival mode is simply height. The camera zooms out as the tower grows, a counter at the top right tracks your score, and three hearts show how many pieces you can lose. Each piece that falls off the island costs a heart, and when the hearts run out the game ends. A hand-drawn, slightly spooky look, a dark starry sky and a drippy title font set the mood.
If you would rather build in peace, the main menu has an easy mode switch that hides the hearts so nothing can end the run. The game was made by one developer and released as free software.

Tips
Build wide first. A flat, wide base gives the tower something to lean on. Save the tall thin pieces for when you have a solid layer under them.
Use the nudge. A small push is often better than a full move: it lets you settle a piece into a gap without bumping its neighbours.
Do not drop everything fast. Fast drop is for pieces you are sure about; a slow fall gives you time to rotate and adjust.
Watch the sway. If the tower is still moving, wait a moment before the next piece instead of adding weight to a wobble.
