Cool idea, excited to see what comes out of this. Any chance we could get a download link for the song? It was so damn happy.

2013-12-17 10:51

Thank you very much!
Here is the download link:

enjoy

eskivor 2013-12-17 12:35

Short but interesting, I hope there will have many players on this game to see how the construction will be.

alismuffin 2013-12-17 12:35

This is a really cool idea! Can't wait until this is massive

peripheralgames 2013-12-17 12:35

Its a cool idea, but not much of a game unfortunately

yellowlime 2013-12-17 12:37

The contrast between the exciting music (fitting lyrics) and the gameplay is very funny :^y

tanser 2013-12-17 12:37

All nice but the camera was a bit frustrating. Good job anyways. :)

doctor-broccoli 2013-12-17 12:40

Fun idea. It's not really a game though, it's more like a toy. Not that that makes it bad or anything.
Really curious to see what comes out of this!

raisedmedia 2013-12-17 12:42

Cool concept, I would like to see the ability to interact more, beyond placing the single brick.

ditto 2013-12-17 12:48

this felt weird, but I like these "do your small part" things, will be cool to see how many blocks there are in a week or so!

archaeometrician 2013-12-17 13:05

Nice idea, its funny. A lot of people tried it from what I can see ingame. Good job :)

lost-king 2013-12-17 13:09

I was hoping someone would make this game, can't wait to see it in 3 weeks.

lucasncv 2013-12-17 13:11

Haha, fun idea.

bitdemon 2013-12-17 13:18

Nice idea.

sunshiranui 2013-12-17 13:42

Nice idea, it's a bit like Curiosity in reverse :P
Congratulazioni!

hamcha 2013-12-17 13:50

Not really a game, but a very cool experiment indeed! Keep posting screenshot on "how it evolves", I'm quite interested!

zhrack 2013-12-17 17:07

I'm curious about how it'll evolve during votations! Only note, it's a bit short, but hey...nice experiment!

Oh, awesome music!

cbeed 2013-12-17 17:12

Maybe add a "choose wisely" message. The normal user, like me, just tries what you can do and clicks randomly. :-D
Hard to rate, because it's more a tool than a game.

potomak 2013-12-17 17:37

I like the concept.

infin8 2013-12-17 18:43

Interesting use of the concept! The tech was solid too, tried refreshing the game heh. Couldn't actually see the block i had getting placed.

fervir 2013-12-18 01:28

That was pretty sweet.
A very cool way for everyone to leave their mark.

brotherst 2013-12-18 02:48

Really great idea! I searched "minecraft" to see how unimaginative people were being this time, but this is the opposite of what I expected!

dsoft20 2013-12-18 08:50

Nice entry :D I'm looking forward to see what the tower will be :D

teamkwakwa 2013-12-18 16:31

Feels like the religion game from Jason Rohrer game, but more minimalist...

thatguy 2013-12-18 18:21

Really cool idea, it'll be interesting to see how it evolves!

ammorechicks 2013-12-18 19:28

Very original, it's a kind of social experiment. Good music!

dudsen 2013-12-18 20:25

Ok first thing I did was reloading the game, for being sure the music doesn't com from one of my other open tabs :D

I like these kind of things. Exciting to see how the world will evolve.

But here is a question for people saying the game is too short: Is it really that short, or even extra-ever-lasting long? ;)

lipedal 2013-12-18 22:10

Fantastic! I wish more games like this came out :D I'm the first pink kitten in the third tower ^^

sestren 2013-12-19 01:12

A very simple, but very cool idea. Loved the song!

zemmi 2013-12-19 02:46

Thanks for the soundcloud link. I'm sure to listen to all the Yugenstudio stuff, pretty sweet so far.

ashen 2013-12-19 11:33

Very interesting idea, a bit like that "10 second" turn rpg in the last LD. I was assigned a dark water block but I could not place it anywhere. Tried placing on existing blocks, separated by itself but no luck. Has the game been locked or something?

2013-12-19 13:33

Hey guys, i'm the bad programmer who made the network communications, sorry to hear that you're having problems!
If you place the block and hear the sound but can't actually see it, try refreshing the page.
We still have some bugs on the server side, unfortunately!

michail 2013-12-19 18:28

Wow, this is really creative :) The music also fits very well. I'll come back from time to time to see how it goes.

donutttt 2013-12-19 18:28

Great effort. A really cool play on the idea, and I like the collaborative feel.

joeprogram 2013-12-19 19:31

Very fun! I like the purity of the idea, but I'd definitely play it a few times if it was one block per day!

matx 2013-12-19 21:03

Little Secret: It actually IS one block a day. But I was not sure what was more powerful, one block a day or only one block ever? So we never revealed it :)

stvr 2013-12-20 02:43

This is a great take on the theme, but it would be REALLY nice if you could see your block after you place it!

matx 2013-12-20 08:38

@stvr You can. If you can't, that is a server bug I fear. Try refreshing!

garethiw 2013-12-20 13:47

Interesting experiment. Only thing I'd say is to allow the vertical mouselook to go a full 180 degrees.

teamflare 2013-12-20 15:32

Very good concept :) Congratulations. Also dig the music ;)

psychomonster 2013-12-20 22:56

Nice experimental gameplay. Not really a game but it fits perfect to the theme... It must be seens as art not as a game. Cool like it!

auto_suggestion 2013-12-21 02:42

Solid controls, awesome music, fun concept!

mrblade 2013-12-21 02:45

Awesome! Great game, awesome music. I was a bit annoyed that you couldn't look straight up to go to the top, but as I far as I understand, that is a limitation of Unity. I got the Notch block and put it on the top! Nice game!

lacutis 2013-12-21 08:23

Interesting concept, kind of wish there was more gameplay involved some how. I think its interesting seeing what everyone built.

cosmicadventuresquad 2013-12-21 09:44

Strega:
This really reminds me of the game We the Giants, but with less of a message and more about just creating emergent art.

(This is a team account)

withoutpillow 2013-12-21 11:23

amazing! i love this. every jam there's a couple of these kind of games, but this one stands out, as it makes me so happy, much thanks to the graphics, the sky and that fantastic song!

xbelanch 2013-12-21 19:20

I like the idea but seems that todat I can't put my one block with the rest :?

alchiggins 2013-12-21 19:49

Really cool idea. That music is boss.

porglezomp 2013-12-21 23:54

Really nice idea! It's too bad that there's not enough input for people to coordinate on much more than the simplest structures, but it's an interesting concept.

cognizant-game-studios 2013-12-22 00:51

Good job, but please use a better first person controller next time... :)

rubna 2013-12-22 10:51

Very interesting social experiment! Interested to see how big this is going to get :D

zzzev 2013-12-22 21:16

Fun experiment; curious how people made the disconnected pieces?

zkenshin 2013-12-23 03:40

Very innovative idea that fit the theme well. Great music as well. :)

samoojamies 2013-12-23 07:44

5/5 MUSIC! Very cool concept but sadly people select quite randomly block placements.

postmodestie 2013-12-23 22:31

Placed a block, naturally .. :)

mmickyman 2013-12-24 00:55

I like the concept, hopes it'll got crazy and more and more people add their cube. Nice crazy music !

f7f5 2013-12-25 20:40

Is it possible to export a Linux version? There's no Web player for Linux...

commanderstitch 2013-12-30 07:20

awesome SONG, NAILED the theme. not much else. Colors look bright brilliant and beautful!! nice!

diegocbarboza 2014-01-01 22:22

Interesting collaborative idea! It would be nice with navigation was easier. Maybe you could use Q/E for direct vertical movement.

conflei 2014-01-03 00:58

Mono mono mono (8)

bradleysmith 2014-01-06 17:55

Cool idea, I lost where I placed my block though. D: Music is awesome too! Rated highly. :)
