What players are saying
-Spite what is implied in the preview video, I couldn't use a name for my profile longer than 3 characters. You have to name your "world" after creating your profile, which I found to also be character limited, estimated 5 characters. Unsure if these limitations are a bug or a feature.
- The game starts by asking you for your name. After I stopped playing I realized they meant "Name your Profile" and not "Who are you?". The actual question if it matters to anyone is "What is your name?".
-Once I got in game I discovered the controls were not intuitive. The game labels the camera as your "character", yet you don't have an in-game representation of a character, instead you have full control over a camera that doesn't seem to offer first person from an actual character-on-the-ground. You play in a perpetual fly mode.
- UI only works with clicking. If you try to use the mouse wheel to scroll, it zooms your camera in and out.
- There are no tooltips to help explain the effect and purpose of each selection (though the icons make sense once you click each option then click in the game world to see the effect.)
- Range of available in game assets useful for actually creating an entire city is limited. You could pull off a small village however.
- Figuring out how to manipulate the camera while placing the assets you're interested in is not impossible, but very uncomfortable and creates a much sharper learning curve to get started for something that is made to look effortless.
- A few English translation errors exist, annoying but not detrimental to game-play.
Pros:
-What assets do exist are awesome.
- Unique block shapes and placement methods. You can drop spheres for example. You can also drop them either one at a time, or in a pattern all at once.
- These are not minecraft blocks, they're better. There's a hint of pixelation to the design, but smoother and less gritty than minecraft textures.
-You can create from thick minecraft-size blocks, or thin/small long walls.
Verdict: Don't recommend in current state. it might be worth grabbing now however while it's still inexpensive and just keep an eye on it to see if it gets updates. The right ideas are there, so I won't refund but I won't play again unless it gets more polished.
