I must speak but there is only bongos by Ysty
You work on a construction site, helping put together buildings by ordering a crane around (I think that's what people do on construction sites, right?). One day, a wizard steals your voice, because wizards are assholes. If you don't manage to finish the first nine floors of your current project today, you'll be fired!
Your only remaining option is to communicate with the crane driver through the medium of bongos.
This game is an entry to both themes - it is about growth (making a building bigger), and it uses only two buttons. The game controls with Left and Right (either the arrow keys, the A and D keys or the left and right bumpers on a 360 Controller).
The second screenshot is a (speeded up) gif, if you want to see the game in action.
Featuring:
Bongos
Astonishingly professional voice acting
Bongo dialogue system
Asshole wizards

Cheeky little game. Stacking the floors up on top of each other is more difficult than it seems!

Really cool game if you ask me, it could play a bit faster (especially after placing a floor), but except for that: cool!

Very innovative, but gets a bit repetitive after a while. Cool to see games that combine both themes, and do it well. The voice acting is hilarious. Well done!

Haha! Very very well done! I saved the orphans <3 The physics were ridiculous but it definitely added to the charm. Good luck!

Funny, challenging game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/sMG1ENTyKkU

How high do you have to get to come up with this? I love it.
