Why dig the blocks at all? I think this game would be a lot better with some clear goal."},{"author_name":"stasss","author_uid":"31999","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:11pm","epoch":1409087160,"text":"Nice!

I'd definitely like to see this fleshed out a bit more, the overall atmosphere seemed pretty cool.

I think it's a great concept, and I love the monster design! If it were polished, expanded, and made a bit more clearly distinct from games like terreria this could be an awesome game.
