So far we have built a fun little toy, but it is not yet a game. We have no win or lose condition, no challenge, and no reward. We need to give the player something to do and challenge themselves with. We will start by implementing the win condition; remove all Pillars from a preset Zone. We will create some levels with a variety of Towers and Zones to clear. We will also create an Equipment Menu, so that the player can select what items they want to use and place them in the world.
