Neongarten - Prologue

Very good game and execution. gameplay quite similar to the game "concrete jungle", which is basically just one dimension less, and also a deck-builder. similar building-placement-games usually have a spherical area-of-effect, it is nice to have that simplified here. This could use a turn-based-VERSUS-MODE due to its 3d-tetris-vibes. I am not too sure about the fail-state-challenge of ever-increasing rent, simple enough, works for a while, but is an ever growing "eternal cylinder coming for you". Maybe instead have "exponential-maintenance and decay-over-time"; buildings may damage other buildings and self, buildings may repair other buildings cheaper, buildings may resist decay more. this adds a layer of complexity, that may be worth it, as it "adds a dimension to interactions". it MAY add some randomness, for better or worse, or just be 100% predictable. exponential-maintenance+decay makes early game easier, and late game harder (the more is build, the more is to maintain). exponential-maintenance+decay makes failure not-necessarily-fatal, only parts of your structures may crumble, at a cost, but this also lowers exponential-maintenance for a bit, and it just cuts into your savings account temporarily to "clear up the rubble". note, i mean "maintenance+decay" only increase the more you have build (and maybe the higher you have build", because "skyscrapers are dumb" unless benefits from high density outweight costs.
