Nice Game! It's more challenging than it looks!

amazing calming music to rage inducing game :D great idea i managed to finish with 174.7 on time. after seeing the comment about the levels i expected something harder, but this way it was nice experience. good job

This is an excellent entry! It is very simplistic but engaging. The artwork, text, and music really set the mood extremely well. I managed to beat this in 143 seconds on my second playthrough. I also enjoyed the small details you added like the subtle animation when the pillar is fully set.

Keep up the great work!

@erikengineengineer thank you for playing the game

Very cool idea! Excelent use of the theme and general mood. I just wish it haves more levels and different mechanics. The music, controls and graphics are very polished! Really good job!

Nice minimalistic game! I would love to see more levels and mechanics :)

Nice mood and music. Minimalist graphics are good. Gameplay is simple but a bit easy for me.

Side note: did not run well mode for me on firefox, had to use chrome

A great game for speed runners because it seemed like there might be tactics to scoot the bottom in quickly and speed up the settling process. Perhaps! Good work.

A simple idea executed very well. I should probably take the hint myself and aim for simpler but more polished experiences :). Good job. I know it would require a name change but this could possibly have been an endless experience after the first 9 with endlessly increasing difficulty.

a very smart, original and simple idea at the same time. With good graphics and just fun. Very good entry.

Easy game, but interesting! Unique game play idea. The levels would have more items to challenge with; like pots, bowls or anything else. Current concept is fun, but too simple. There are not much to play, while the game world and mechanics are interesting and working.

A simple but well rounded concept! It was quite relaxing too.

Other than the pillars being longer there doesn't seem to be much of a difficultly curve but it's very atmospheric and enjoyable to play, finished in 146.

This game hits the theme probably as accurately as it can get. I quite enjoyed it. Felt kinda relaxing.

Pretty nice 2-3 minute game, mechanics and physics seem to work well.
