I can't figure out how to get up the wall with the 4 blocks at the base. Love the game though. And doing 3D for a game jam is impressive!

Thanks! You can do it by

Spoiler

Stacking all four blocks into a staircase, then scaling down the smallest one, and grabbing it before you jump over the wall, so you have something to put ontop of the button.

OR, alternatively, you can cheat it a little bit by scaling down the blocks from the wall of 6 blocks before, and using one or more of them to make the staircase. Those ones can be scaled larger than the rest, so you don’t need to stack one ontop of the biggest one, and you can just leisurely carry your smallest block up from the start.
