Components
Turo is an android open source game that gives the player, the pleasure of building a tower as tall as possible. Its a game that is captivating because of the creation of the blocks that are used to build the tower in the game and also the suspense in the fact that the blocks are built with limited provisions.

Proposal
On playing this game, i discovered that the game was interesting, but lacked few features which i believe would change the look of the game when played, and otherwise. These features include;
A) Game page color option:
I propose that the game page colors option be moved away from the menu page to the settings section and be tagged as "theme" because they give the page an odd look as they are displayed directly on the game menu page The game page color is a settings parameter for the game, and should be included under that section.
B) Language option:
The language option allows the players to switch between the app languages provided in the game. Language is also a settings parameter that should not be visible directly in the menu page in my own opinion, but should be included in the settings section, in the game.
The game page color and language option are both part of the technical part or area of the game, which should not be visible on the menu page, but be included under the technical tune or adjust area of the game (under the settings section).
C) Game Over prompt feature.
I discovered that at the end of the game (when blocks cant be built any longer form the block points), the page stays stagnant i.e. there is no prompt to notify the player that the game has come to an end, forcing the player to refresh the game page with the refresh button on the top bar of the game,in order to restart the game. i suggest that the refresh button can be used to re-start the game when the player decides to, for his own reasons, but the popular prompt in all games (GAME OVER), should be included to calll for an automatic choice of player to re-start the game or quit the game to its menu page.
Mockups / Examples
A) Suggested look of settings page and menu page to accommodate theme and language option.

Benefits
The removal of language and game page color would majorly help to give the menu page a constructed look, creating a good user impression of the app. it also eliminates the clumsy nature of the menu page, having almost all game settings options lingering on it. The game over prompt feature helps to give the game a serious impression to its user, mostly carrying the basic and familiar feature of most games, when the user has defaulted, causing the end of the game play.
I would be glad if these features are added to this game. thank you

An unstable tower may move a bit and hit something and game is not over!
