Or simply a simulation ala Sims of sort? killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #4 killercow, Jan 9, 2013 Well the sims is a game But this is a minecraft/Junk Jack/Terraria Like game. You have direct control over character and you can craft, mine, build... oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #5 oooooomonkey, Jan 9, 2013 Uh oh I've just been playing it for half an hour and I can see this stealing a lot of my time it feels like a cross between minecraft and the sims, because there's crafting but also sleep and hunger and energy bars etc. haven't played enough to give more impressions yet but early signs are its looking good. JoshCM Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2009 4,250 23 38 Game Designer Upstate NY http://www.crescentmoongames.com #6 JoshCM, Jan 9, 2013 definitely looking forward to this! bramblett05 Well-Known Member Aug 29, 2012 5,682 0 0 #7 bramblett05, Jan 9, 2013 Yea its good and easy to get started. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #8 killercow, Jan 9, 2013 I really like it but the fact that you have a timer each time you craft something is... Ugh! It's not that big of a deal but just the fact that it's there and that I could have payed a premium price to have the game without them is frustrating. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #9 Exact-Psience, Jan 9, 2013 Aw ok... I guess imma have to skip this one. Koalachlamydia77 Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 83 0 0 #10 Koalachlamydia77, Jan 9, 2013 How do the controls work? killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #11 killercow, Jan 9, 2013 It's not like junk jack or minecraft and it's actually quite unique. You press anywhere on the screen and your character will go there or mine there etc.. It works well as a casual experience and it means that you can actually prepare what to do next while your blockhead is busy. You can also chain tasks to be even more efficient. Your character is able to grip any surface. Another quick thing: if you break a block, everything on top of it will fall. That's really neat especially when you need to bring down a tree. oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #12 oooooomonkey, Jan 9, 2013 Yep same here its not a huge problem but it doesn't even seem like a freemium game where you can start an action , shut the game and come back later I tried and it looks like you have to have the game open I'd much rather have paid for it and had normal speed things like minecraft style speed. The game itself is cool though. Haven't had time to play to much of it but I'm not sure how long it will last having to watch him dig for so long it might pick up after you unlock more than one character as then you can have people doing different tasks. ? Ill stick with it anyway and see. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #13 killercow, Jan 9, 2013 Last edited: Jan 9, 2013 Yeah I tried that too But I feel like this is a game made to be played with a friend. You can then plan those actions together, waste less time and enjoy the game more! I could be wrong but I don't think you can have multiple characters in one world without multiplayer.

Really looking forward to this. squabs Well-Known Member Nov 3, 2012 317 1 18 #15 squabs, Jan 9, 2013 Yea it's good, minecraft in two dimensions, but it keeps crashing on my iPad 1 Tobi (AppGemeinde) Well-Known Member Jan 2, 2013 49 0 0 Germany http://www.appgemeinde.de #16 Tobi (AppGemeinde), Jan 9, 2013 Game Impressions Played it since a week and its very addictive! It feels way better on touchscreen than minecraft and it has more features than the pocket version ever had. Download! Kraudi2k Well-Known Member May 24, 2012 339 1 18 Male #17 Kraudi2k, Jan 9, 2013 Very addictive and amazing game. Any future feature plans? Any plans for Android support because of the multiplayer (playing with friends who have android phones)? nicodemus82 Well-Known Member Jul 12, 2010 1,068 0 36 From Wales. Currently living in Canada #18 nicodemus82, Jan 10, 2013 After having played for a while I think it's a fun game and certainly has a lot going for it, however the whole waiting mechanic really ruins the experience for me. I understand why it's implemented.. it's there to get you to use real money to buy gems so you can speed things up, and yes I know that it's not necessary to purchase any of the IAP's at all, but without doing so you'll be doing a lot of waiting. This wouldn't be all that bad if you could just queue up some things to craft and then exit out the game to return later when everything's done, but you can't. You have to have the game open and running in order for anything to complete I much would have preferred paying a premium price for this one as it feels like the game would have suited that model much more. brucehoult New Member Jan 10, 2013 2 0 0 #19 brucehoult, Jan 10, 2013 There are in-app purchases to remove or shorten time delays. .Asa Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2012 73 0 0 #20 .Asa, Jan 10, 2013 "This might almost be a better Minecraft than the actual real Minecraft" How DARE you. How can you even compare some stupid 2.5D game to Minecraft? This is unacceptable. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
