WELCOME TO BUILDING BABEL! v1.2

Your goal is to build the tallest tower to reach God! You collect Bricks and Gold throughout the game, which you can spend on new floors or buying more residents. Build 10 floors to win! However, your Hubris Meter (the yellow bar!) determines whether or not God will smite you down for your blasphemy!

There are 6 types of residents that occupy your tower:

  • Builder: Required to build new floors
  • Merchant: Gives you Gold, but increases your Hubris Meter
  • Mason: Gives you Bricks, but slightly increases your Hubris Meter
  • Shepherd: Greatly decreases your Hubris Meter
  • Warrior: Prevents Thieves from spawning on their floor
  • Thief: Can randomly spawn, and do not take up space on a floor. They steal gold and bricks, so watch out!

--CONTROLS--

  • Your mouse! Click buttons and drag residents around to add them to floors!
  • The numbers 1-9 can be used to switch to a floor if you can't scroll


-- PATCH NOTES --
