It's very well polished overall, and a great take on the theme. The mechanics are very well designed; I constantly found myself debating over which item to take as the quota rose higher and higher. The randomization of the shapes and types definitely made it a challenge to keep building the tower. I ended up getting to a quota of 5.5k before I accidentally knocked my tower over, triggering every loss dialogue all at once, which was really funny. Really well done; one of my favorites!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":757222,"author_name":"SimonL","author_uid":"simonl","epoch":1633863920,"text":"Very interesting idea!\n\nCombining a stacking game with balancing all the necessary parts was fun.
