Day 1:

I was sitting in my back yard relaxing when I heard a noise on my roof, which sounded like a piece of rice being dropped into a glass dish.  I climbed up to see what made the noise and to my surprise, it was a small black block.  I don't know where it came from or what type of material it was, but I didn't want it on my roof.  I was worried it might start to leak where landed.  I pushed it off the roof and right before reached the ground, it disappeared.  At the same time I heard a voice in my head say "one".  It scared me for a moment, but then another small black square appeared over my roof and landed with a crash.  I knew that I had to do something quick, before my roof was full of holes.  I pushed that off also and heard the voice again, this time saying "two".

I looked at my garage to see if these blocks were falling on it also. Gladly, I didn't see any over there. Just then, a picture magically drew itself on the side of my garage, which had these same numbers and something that looked to like buttons below them. I climbed down from the roof and pressed on the spot which looked like one of the buttons. To my amazement, TWO blocks fell onto my roof this time.  Okay, something strange is going on...

Day 2:

These blocks won't stop falling.  I don't know where they're coming from, but this needs to stop now.  Everytime I knock them off my roof, more appear in their place.  After pressing those buttons on the garage a few times, I now have NINE blocks falling on my roof everytime I sweep them off.  I can't leave them up there, the weight might cave in my roof, so I keep pressing these buttons to see if one of them might stop these blocks from falling, but no... all it seems to do is increase the number of them, or change their colors and shapes. I need to find a way to stop this...

Day 3:

I haven't slept in two days.  The sound of these blocks are getting very annoying.  Luckily, I somehow managed to build a machine that will knock them off the roof.  I'm still pressing those buttons in hopes that these blocks will finally stop falling on my house.

Day 4:

They still haven't stopped falling, this is getting crazy.  I called the carpenter, who said that he can't do much about my roof, except rebuild it thinner.  That should make the blocks fall off quicker, which would make less noise, so I can finally get some sleep.  Although, there's one small problem with the carpenter,  he only accepts a form of currency called "Prestige".  I have no idea what that is, but there's one button on the garage that I haven't pressed yet, so maybe that will help.   I will try pressing it later.

Day 5:

I was right, that button on the garage magically created a few orange coins with a large letter "P" on them.  That must be what the carpenter meant.  I called him and he said that he will gladly make the roof thinner for me.  This is wonderful.

Day 6:

Still pressing buttons to try and get these blocks to stop. Nothing is helping yet.  The roof has gotten very thin and most of the blocks are falling towards the ground by themselves.  Some of them have completely changed form and now look like pictures of people, along with red or green ham.  At least I won't go hungry.

Day 7:

I now have many of these small machines built on the roof, knocking the blocks down.  I have pressed many of the buttons multiple times. The last time I counted them, there must be at least ONE THOUSAND blocks landing on my roof every few seconds...

Day 8:

I must find a way to stop these blocks...

Day 9:

Must stop blocks...

Day 10:

Crshhh, bang, boom, thrashhhhhh, HAHAHAHA I LOVE THE BLOCKS HAHAHAHA, sweep the blocks HAHAHAH.  I NEED ANOTHER BROOM AHAHA, GIVE ME MORE BLOCKS AHAHAHA.

----------------------------------------------------------------

When you get to a certain point (hundreds of millions), it does start to take a while to level up the different skills, so that may need slightly balanced.  It would also be nice to see the buttons light up  when you have enough points to purchase them.  Or perhaps a few extra sounds for the different shape blocks, so it doesn't sound like rice in a glass dish constantly.  Also, when you have maximum "basic formation" and your "block amount" is at level 7, it starts to lag when respawning the blocks.

Overall, I would say that this is a fun, relaxing little game. Thanks for making it.

great game, a little suggestion though. it would be helpful if the amount of prestige points you got was also based on ow much you've spent. its just a suggestion and you don't need to if you don't want to.

nice game

Relaxing game, i wish your next project will be very good.
