Fun graphs, nice music and sound effects. Needs a system so I can track how many blocks I have left

Developer

The system actually exists, only seems to show up in fullscreen for some reason though.

Submitted

Art is good but more UI is needed to guide the user or tell available blocks of sand etc.. Great work!

Developer

Thanks. Agreed, it was a bit unpolished. There is a tracker for how many blocks you have, but seems to only work in fullscreen.

Submitted

Good sound and BGM. O+WASD doesn't appear to work on sand. Might be user error so I gave it 3 stars.

Developer

Ah yes, not building on sand was intentional. Was not communicated in game I agree.

Submitted

Ah, I was thinking of the description:

O + WASD* - Mine blocks   <----
P + WASD* - Place blocks

I'll try P+WASD and see if that does it.

Developer

I would like to add, that I kinda felt its more like WASD + p or WASD + o , mining or placing blocks is based on the WASD input that was active that frame that o or p are pressed. Its kinda janky but its not too hard to learn. Would have liked to get a more clear control scheme but oh well

Submitted

Ah damn, I had it backwards. I was holding O and then pressing D.

Nice art! I would say that the mechanics could do with more work and a tutorial in-game, but otherwise, good job.

Developer

Thank you and agreed. Time ran out so had to settle for an in-description tutorial of sorts.
