I was confused at first, but gave it a few tries and figured it out, which, in a way, is part of the fun. I found it hard to place all of the blocks in time on the more advanced levels, but I'm using my laptop and this game may work better with a proper mouse. Still, it's a lot of blocks to put on the board, maybe reduce the grid a little? I loved the graphics and the particle effects were beautiful when you got the puzzle right. Music was soothing. Keep going with this, I think you've got a great game going here.

I would have liked to create a sculpture or so in the middle of the room, also the first five levels or so are basically the same and it takes really too much time to surround the whole grid.

You haven't really tested out Unity till you've made a block placing game. I feel like this game could really go somewhere. One commenter mention multiplayer which would be awesome. It'd be great if you could somehow blend the first person element with the puzzle mechanic. Right now, a mouse orbit would solve most of the control issues, but I really like the first person aspect. In later stages, I started just making platforms and jumping on them. Great job!"},{"author_name":"Jeremias","author_uid":"7211","time":"May 11, 2013 @ 3:36pm","epoch":1368286260,"text":"The windows version contains an exe which throws a "Data Folder not found" error with the following content: "There should be 'Metrocraft_LD26_Data'\rfolder next to the executable".\r\rI played the web version.
