About this game

Time your taps to drop swinging blocks onto the tower below, building a tall gothic spire from the abyss. Precise drops earn combos and pollen, which you spend on a shield to deflect a giant mantis that periodically strikes and tears blocks off your spire. Miss your stack and the trimmed blocks shrink until the tower can no longer stand.
