Use of the limitation
The weight in this game limits the resistance of a tower, so player has to balance the weight the tower will have for it not to fall, and its resistance for it to survive the enemy wave. Also the weights sets the gems (money) won and Lost. If the gems reach 0 its Game Over, wich is set by the weight too.

I think this is an interesting idea, but it needs a little work to make it more fun to play,  the use of the limitation is very good as well, it would be nice to be able to select the type of block you use, and the tower and the chest to be at a variable height, different enemies and more block types. Great idea.

I think there's an interesting idea here, but I just couldn't get into it. For a point and click tower defense game like this, there needs to be some exciting element to keep the player engaged. More sound effects and interesting visuals would go a long way here. I also think the gameplay needs to me made a lot clearer. A common pitfall in development is tricking yourself into thinking a game is easy to understand, but that's only because you're the one who built it. I'd focus on making sure as soon as the game loads up players no what to do and how to progress.

Thanks for your feedback, means a lot! We will work on improving the game, and add a basic tutorial. Sound effects will take a little longer to come, but they will.

It's a good game but it takes a lot of time to get the first shop unlock overall good concept

I'm sorry but I could not figure out the game for the life of me. I only got one block to stay and nothing would happen after that. The music also felt out of place.

You have to click the black hole to get new blocks :)

I did but the blocks wouldn't stay where I put them.

Now i understand your issue. Every block has to be set at the bottom. if you already set a block, next one should go under it.
