Block Block Block

Beautiful game, it's very relaxing! I can't wait to keep playing

Love this new entry into the diorama-building genre! If you're a fan of games like MakeRoom, Block Block Block feels very similar and scratches the same itch. Some things I love: + Every item has a wooden texture to it, adding to the feeling that you're creating these tiny models by hand in your workshop. The workstation and supplies that serve as the backdrop to your build area drive this home. + The "puzzle" mode seems less like a puzzle and more like the dev taking an opportunity to say "Have you thought of using this item like this?"--I loved revisiting these guided builds as a way to turn off my brain and find new ideas. + The puzzle mode adds a little more pizazz to the game by adding design, woodcarving, and delivery steps to the object placement process. You even have a little vacuum to clean up wood shavings. Cute! + The controls, for the most part, are very intuitive. Grouping is something I thought was done particularly well. + The game doesn't feel like it's trying to limit you to just rooms. You have plenty of tools to build tiny towns, buildings, or anything your imagination can conjure up, really. Some little things I struggle with: - I really, really, really don't like that I can't manipulate the camera while holding an object. I want to be able to adjust my view while I'm placing something (or in the puzzles, while I'm vacuuming up the little wood shavings), but when I instinctively try to do so, my hold action is deactivated. - Object resizing can sometimes be a bit wonky when I am trying to stretch from a specific side of the object. Same with rotation. - I wish there were some sort of grid placement/visual option that we could turn on to ensure that our objects are in line. Honestly, I barely use this feature when it is available in similar games, but it's helpful when I'm feeling a bit particular about where something should go or how it should line up. * I think it would be cool to implement an object creation feature! That way, if I want to make a piece of furniture or a prop to use across builds, I could just build it in object creation and store it for future use. Some other games have this feature + Steam Workshop enabled for sharing, and it helps the community around the game grow as well. Even with a few little quirks, this game is definitely already one of my favorites in the genre. Lurking in the Discord server, I can see that the dev is a great guy and really enjoys interacting with folks who share what they've been doing with the game. I can't wait to watch Block Block Block grow and get the love it deserves!
