9/19 Pre-launch update!
I've been working all day to implement the promised Leaderboard feature. You can check out the Top 10 Free Mode players and their heights in the Settings Menu.
BalanCity is releasing in two days and that's something to be very ansious about! Please report any bugs you may encounter in order to keep them away from the final release!
Note: On Mac, Steam features such as Achievements and Leaderboards are not implemented yet. A few weeks after launch, these features will be available on Mac.
Have fun!

9/16 Update! Linux support and a special achievement!
If you happen to own Linux, now you can play BalanCity on it! It should work on any Linux 64bit operating system and was tested on Ubuntu.
In other news, there is a new achievement named "Matreon", it will be unlocked to anyone who plays the game during Early Access before launch next week.
After release, the achievement will be removed from the game so it is an ephemeral token, just to see how many people will unlock it.
Working on leaderboards right now, hope to have a Top 10 Builders list by launch!
