Blocks That Matter(incoming indie game)

[SniperCharlie]

Blocks That Matter is a puzzle/platform game in which the player, as a tiny driller robot, travels underground in order to save its creators kidnapped by someone who wants to steal their work.B stands for Boulder Dash, T for Tetris and M for Minecraft.
Three games, retro and modern, made of blocks that matter.

When its eye opens, it reveals a drill that the robot can use to fragilize blocks of matters like wood, stone, sand,…
When blocks are fragilized, TETROBOT can collect them and stock them inside it’s tiny body. That’s the power Markus gave him.

TETROBOT can recycle blocks into pieces made of 4 blocks. Those pieces are also called tetrominoes in the scientific community. Of course, this power is really useful to create platforms, but TETROBOT can also use those recycled pieces to clean areas.
By using its “line scan”, it can find lines of 8 blocks or more in the environment and then destroy them.
This is the only way to destroy blocks the robot can’t drill. That’s the power Alexei gave him.

So, that’s it, TETROBOT can drill, collect, recycle blocks of matter into new pieces and destroy lines. Pretty useful if you like gardening.

I really like this because it's not just a remake of minecraft or other games, but more like a spin off. Plus it gives honor to some of historys most famous game creators! I love it, I want it, I'll buy it X]
