Having new building technology replace the old while you're still trying to finish a monument is a clever take on the theme. I like the sunny colours and those chunky, slightly wonky ruins on the cover - ancient investors sound like demanding clients!

Fun concept, creative voxel graphics and funny backstory about ancient investors, hahah. Reminds of an old game on my cellphone where you needed to build a tall tower using blocks.

Fun concept and theme interpretation! You might want to check the audio, I didn't hear any sound on itch.io. I ended up just using concrete stuff since the fragile elemenentswere too easily destroyed by the heavy pieces. Maybe making the fragile pieces way cheaper would be a good incentive to use them more often? I really enjoyed the different pieces though, the glass window was my favorite :)
