What do you think?

I really like this game. It calls back to Minecraft's Alpha days beautifully, and it's incredibly relaxing. The graphics and music are charming, and the controls are simple. It could use a little work with it's fluidity. At the moment, it feels clunky, and the worlds are small, but it's great nonetheless. If you just polished the mechanics you already have, and added a few new ones like new blocks, bigger worlds, mobs and tools, you'd have a really nice game. I truly hope you sever this game's ties with Minecraft so that you can go on to release this as a fully original title, because it offers the Minecraft charm and the Terraria perspective without all the bloat and clutter with those two titles. I would pay money for a later version of this game. Bravo.

I love the chiptune cover of Sweden in this game so much. Do you have a link to the music artist's Soundcloud or something so I can see more of his work?

Really nice game ;), very relaxing I really hope you do version 1.1 as well, which, for me, would be better than minecraft

Very good, remeber playing this many years ago. Only problem currently is that the .exe doesn't find the Java in my machine (W10 64 bits), but launching the .jar directly do the job.

How To Play

		
			 Watch your blue and red selectors.  They show where you will build or break blocks, respectively.  Crafting is very similar to Minecraft: put items into the crafting table to craft them. Right-click on the crafting table to open it and your inventory. The crafting templates are the same for the items we chose to put in.  Here are a few recipes to try.  Collect better matierals (wood->stone->iron->diamond) to create better tools.  Pickaxes are the only tools which can break stone.  Axes break wood tiles faster, and shovels break dirt, sand, and leaves very quickly.

Bug in Contest Entry

The shovel template got altered along the way. A wood got switched for a stick. Use this:

s = stone

w = wood

x = stick

[s s s]

[_ w _]

[_ x _]
