This is actually pretty neat little thing and fun to play. I did enjoy it and I agree with your description, this is worth continuing, it's a pretty cool concept and I love the isometric style. The controls are pretty straight forward although i'd suggest also adding wasd controls, it's just quite intuitive to have controls on WASD imho. Other than that, wish you had time to add the Block placement and sound effects to this. Very cool concept overall, well done!

I didn't get time to add much content to my entry so I completely understand not finishing this. Like what you've done so far though and think it is a good little prototype and I'd be interested to see where you go from here with it. The digging was really satisfying with the visuals so I think what you have so far is definitely a nice start.

Looks good. I'm interested in the things you want to add next because it's literally isometric Minecraft at the moment. But Terraria and Starbound are Minecraft in 2D, too. :wink: I once planned a somewhat similar prototype in Unity with camera-facing quads displaying isometric pixel blocks within an invisible 3D geometry but did not even start to build it because i don't have a good idea for gameplay. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
