This one is really quite good.

The cookie art, vibrant background, and flat table texture really work together to highlight the central piece of the tower.  It's really very eye-catching.  I have to imagine that a comparatively sizable number of people have come here through the screenshots feed vs the average submission.

The visual feedback is also really nice and juicy.  Hitting the block placement and getting the immediate score/mult diff keeps the excitement on simmer until you're finally able to make it to the final score tally which, again, comes with it's own escalating chain of score and combo accumulation.  A really nice crescendo after the build-up.

The mechanics also manage to do a lot without relying on an abundance of complexity.  There is a real trade-off to how you build your deck.  Sizing matters in order to ensure you can reliably create thick bases for your taller towers.  Candy mults are great, but you also need to be sensitive to how much chocolate you're including else you may negate the benefit.

The physics manages to stay pretty fair while also handling the "you goofed" cases.  I had one tower that went a little wonky with a wide block tilting over an uneven layer below it.  I was able to flatten it back out by balancing enough cookie mass on top of it to push the short end of the tilted block down across the fulcrum of the block below it.  Later on, I was able to patch this mess entirely by eating the problematic layer below.

Again, really fantastic design and execution throughout.  Bravo!
