Blocky Miner

Welcome to my game Blocky Miner (working name).
(Last executable update - 11.12.2019 00:41)

It's a side-scroller survival sandbox with procedurally generated world. You can craft tools and other items and use them to shape the world freely!

Don't forget about hunger and thirst! Prepare nutritious meals and drink water regularly (try not to drown in it too). Don't try to jump from heights either.

It's an alpha version of the game. I've been working on it since around May 2019. The game will be developed for some more time (hopefully).

The next steps in the development that I intend to do is:
- saving game state option
- independent creatures
- plant cultivation (with dynamic growing)
- extensive dungeons with traps and treasures to find
- weather effects
- seasons
- diverse biomes with unique fauna and flora.
I'm thinking about making a mobile version in the near future.
In the far future, I consider adding a multiplayer option.

I encourage you to follow the project! Fell free to comment. I will be very grateful for all suggestions and ideas. Thanks :)

How to play?

Download the .zip archive. You'll find there a Unity build for Windows. Start the game with Blocky Miner.exe.
Type the world width and height (optional seed) and start. Do not exceed values like 4096x256 or 2048x512 because the whole world is generated on start and can take a while.

Known bugs

Sometimes, when you destroy or set an underwater block, the water, instead of going down/up a little, multiplies and piles up. It looks like this:

It is caused by an engine bug. Possibly it has been fixed in the update of 11.12.2019 .
