“TL;DR - Best building game I have ever played *BUT* it crashes all the time, so unless you religiously save it every minute WITHOUT FAIL, then all your hopes and dreams will be destoryed, which hurts. Very badly. I…”
“PREFACE: I've played this game for roughly 1-2 years before it hit Steam. Do you like building in games like Minecraft and Blockland? This game will put them to shame. Blockscape takes the traditional block-based…”
“Game is fun, very relaxing to wander around cool landscapes. Developer is working by himself, which I respect immensely.”

“Another re-write, 10//2019: Okay so the dev has balanced out the world gen a lot, and while I still think it was much more stunning in the original release, it is so much better than the last time I played. The blocky…”
“UPDATE 7/15/2019: There has been no update since my last check on the game. I think we can call it. This game is [b]dead[/b]. I wish this wasn't the case. I wish this game had become everything it aimed to be. But, I…”
“1 May, 2016 - Since Jens is updating the game again and supposedly hes started from the ground up, I thought I would give his game another look. TL;DR - Like Dark Horse, I still vote "Neigh". Spend your money elsewhere.…”

“NEW REVIEW (2020): . . Got bit by a snake, fisted by a golem, punched a swan, stole keys, ate shrooms, bodied butterflies. . But what I didn't do was have much fun. While I will say it's very clear that in all the years…”
“Updates are coming but still buggy, best to wait till its stable and worth buying -game loads only some of the chunks, ui is buggy”

“pros: +nice graphics +good concept +worth the price Cons: -i could say "everything else, but i'll go into more detail" -wonky controls -boring -feels empty -loading times (6 min on low graphics with gaming pc)”
“PRICE CUT! The the creator of this game has cut the price from 19.99 to 9.99. To me 9.99 is a great price for this game because the game offers the ability to build things at a much smaller scale allowing you to make…”

“UPDATE 2/25/15 Jens' recent appearance seems to have been short-lived, and he's disappeared into his coding hole or wherever he runs off to for months at a time. This review is starting to read like a diary, and I think…”
“Do not buy this game it is a waste of money, and no longer looks how it does in the screenshots/video Why? 1) Single developer - One person working on this game 2) more bugs than an ant hill 3) No updates in forever 4)…”
“**UPDATE** I have had a look on the website and so far what has been posted since the last time I went there looks good. BUT the fact that nothing has been released for us to test etc is bugging me and I still stand by…”

“Alright, I've been following the development of this game since shortly after it's initial introduction. It has changed drastically since the very first form that it had taken. However, to me this isn't as important as the person behind the game. Obviously a game can't be…”

— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“The first thing is to ignore all of the promo pictures of this game at the time of writing this. They are from a version of the game that will not be developed further. The realistic look is gone. Apparently the developer couldn't figure out how to make that work properly and…”
