Unfortunately unfinished Ludum Dare 48 Jam submission.

The world is falling out from underneath you, going deeper and deeper. Can you garden your way out?

Intended to implement game mechanics that involved gardening which created new blocks for you to stand on as the world sank deeper and deeper, but I only got to the point of creating the world the game is set in and some controls for manipulating the blocks.

Controls:

Left Click on block

Arrow Keys

I

R

Space!

Genres: survival

Tools: Construct

Nice Game!

Bummer it's unfinished, what you have looks super polished! The important thing is you still submitted it unfinished, I tried to do ludem dare years ago and just gave up! I like the little dude's idle animation too

I can see this becoming a really good little isometric level editor too on it's own, but i hope you finish it :D

Hey thanks @makeavoy!
I would love to finish this someday. Unfortunatly, I got stuck a few times during development at the concept stage and spent precious time on appearance that could have been better utilized making the game instead of just the world, lol.

As you mentioned, technicaly it is not a game yet, but I can see it could be one day. As a prototype this is really interesting and I think I wouldn´t be the only one that would wonder what this can evolve into.

@jin9310 Thanks for the kind words. I'm considering using this prototype and finishing it into a game or even using it as a level editer for a different isometric game. Hopefully I do come back to this later. :)
