The game was very easy to get into. Not only is it because of the simple controls, but because the swing at the top is a good indicator to the player that we should be dropping blocks on houses in a way that it wouldn't slip and drop. \n\nI was very impressed by the physics of the swing and the movement of the building as the ground shook. Everything felt very nice and smooth. The camera shake with the buildings moving gave me a good sense of height, risk and danger, which adds to the mood and theme. \n\nThere were several cool things about the visual aesthetics. The 3D house blocks look nice and the 2D sprites, clouds and buildings in the background were a good touch. I also like how the 2D sprites came in different colours. However, I do agree with some of the comments here, there is no visual theme, and so it felt like there were different visual elements that didn't harmonize.\n\nOverall an enjoyable game.
