The environment and music came together really well for a calm, kind of somber mood. I literally got chills when the organ started playing and the tower began to rise.

I felt like the tower doesn't always return to the center if it has an even distribution of attachments, do they weigh differently? that would add to the challenge for sure.  overall really great game, I think small and more attachments per level would add to the challenge, adding to the city building aspect of it.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":728408,"author_name":"AdrijanC","author_uid":"adrijanc","epoch":1633446095,"text":"The game is really good looking.

Dans l'id\u00e9al, un petit tuto pour manipuler la cam\u00e9ra, placer un module, monter un \u00e9tage. A minima, je dirais, mettre en \u00e9vidence la page d'explications (je l'ai vu qu'au second essai).\n- Plus de feedbacks : notamment sur la partie \"penchage\" de la tour. C'est pas facile de sentir la limite, ni m\u00eame de pr\u00e9voir l'\u00e9volution que va avoir la mont\u00e9e de l'\u00e9tage. Une pr\u00e9visualisation de la chute du module \"mont\u00e9e d'\u00e9tage\" pourrait aussi \u00eatre un plus.\n- Etendre la gameplay\/Augmenter le challenge (bon \u00e9videmment, \u00e7a d\u00e9pend clairement de la direction que vous aviez en t\u00eate) : en l'\u00e9tat (sauf si j'ai r\u00e2t\u00e9 quelque chose), il y a un seul moyen de \"manipuler\" la tour, c'est le placement de module, avoir plus de possibilit\u00e9s augmenterait le challenge dans le processus de prise de d\u00e9cision du joueur. Aussi, une ressource pour limiter la cr\u00e9ation de module (paiement \u00e0 l'achat ou limitation du nombre de module) : j'ai eu l'impression que je pouvais me contenter de d\u00e9truire et reconstruire \u00e0 l'infini pour maintenir ma tour stable.\n\nEn tout cas, tr\u00e8s beau boulot.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":770829,"author_name":"ql28","author_uid":"ql28","epoch":1634889671,"text":"@concker-88 merci beaucoup pour la derni\u00e8re review et les pistes d'am\u00e9lioration donn\u00e9e c:","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":770830,"author_name":"ql28","author_uid":"ql28","epoch":1634889675,"text":"Thank you everyone !","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":771211,"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"jupiter-hadley","epoch":1636368208,"text":"What a neat game!
