the control were a bit weird, I had a bit of trouble finding the place where I need to set my mouse and sometimes the object I needed to place jumped really high and I needed to shake my camera a bit for it to come down
but these are minor gripes in otherwise great little zen game, Only thing it needs now is a photo mode, where you can take a picture of your creation and some different environments and I think you got a little hit on your hands :)
Simple game
Very cool game! I think there can be improvement to show where you can put the piece (and the outside limits, to avoid being stuck)
The graphics are very pleasant. Nice colour palette, comfortable to look at and pretty. Sound effects are fitting and enjoyable, and the music is nice ^^
After looking at the comments and seeing the height other ppl got, I am embarrassed to show mine :)
It didn't get any higher than 1st attempt because of that problem with pieces becoming unchoosable:

In this screenshot, I drew a white arrow towards the block I think should be available. I did try placing another small block on it before (the one you can see in the list of choice on my previous screenshot, 3rd from the left) and it didn't work either. Or maybe it shouldn't work at all and that's how it's supposed to be?

Also the building zone indicator is not the best and just doesn't show in most cases, adding to the confusion.
So that's not a bug, just flawed game design and lack of polish. Sorry!
I hope you still enjoyed the game.
And thank you for the feedback!
