The software, which is demonstrated in the video above, is fairly basic: Players can only add or remove blocks, and cannot save their towering megastructures. Smelaum hopes to bolster the homebrew with saving and terrain generation -- hopefully those features will be implemented before Smelaum is incapacitated by Notch's shadowy cabal of trademark lawyers. (We're kidding, of course; those clearly don't exist.)

Kinda looks like crap (not taking a jab at Minecraft). Can you not even look up or down? Since this is just an early build I guess there might be hope for it down the road. I think you should still support the people who actually made the game and, you know, buy it.

@Ospov Actually you can look up and down, Touchscreen serves as a mouse/Analog stick

I'm impressed, but I'd love to see an official port as DSiWare or 3DSWare. I'd buy that for a dollar (or more)!

I didn't appreciate the linking to FortressCraft and writing ot off as a simply clone. If the river had even spoken to the developers recently they would know that the two games are moving in totally different directions. As for the DS demo, I'm impressed, and I don't like Minecraft.

To the modder who made this, get Mojang on the phone and offer to do this whole thing legitimately, you might just get a nice job out of it.
