Hello everybody,
The Windows, Mac and Linux versions of Blocks That Matter are almost done and we still need time to prepare their launch. You can’t wait, neither do we, but we have good news for you : a playable tech demo!
And as Steve says in his little conferences, it is available…RIGHT NOW !
Follow Tetrobot and its magical link to download it !
You can also download the demo here : Mirror#1 / Mirror#2
Ok, now install the demo, clean your keyboard (grab a Xbox gamepad if you got one), crack your fingers and be prepared to scratch your head playing 5 levels taken here and there from the final game.
The demo should work on Windows, Mac and Linux but remember it’s a tech demo. If you’ve got problem to run the game, read the README.txt first than please send us an e-mail explaining WHAT happens and WHEN it happens :
Hopefully, it will help us correct some bugs, improve the performances and make Blocks That Matter a better game.
Don’t hesitate to share this demo with your family, friends, enemies and pets, and… Well, have fun !
PS : The demo can be finished with a 91% score: 5 levels to play, 5 BTMs to collect. No bonus levels.
PS2 : If you don't remember what is Blocks That Matter, here is its previous launch trailer.
Awesome! I'll be grabbing it and trying it out as soon as I get home. Haven't really been keeping up with any news: Is there an actual release date posted anywhere yet?
Also, any chance of seeing it on Desura?
There's no release date yet. We'll try to be on various digital distribution platform so maybe Desura will be one of them.
I'm playing on linux and I don't the controls. I found out how to run and jump but that's about it...
You should read the README.txt to see the controls.
Ahh, silly me, I should have known... Please pardon my ignorance. The game is a lot of fun though! Looking forward to the final release.
Well, I've played around with and I'm quite liking it. But... is the finished game going to have it so that it's not quite so.... obviously a port from console? Little things like not being able to use the mouse to navigate through menus and the dialogue telling you to hit controller keys can get quite annoying...
Other than that it runs absolutely perfectly on my arch 64 bit linux install and I'll be picking it up as soon as it's released!
Thanks for your feedback. Remember this is a Tech Demo created to chase bugs. What you've seen about the controller keys is a bug :) Of course we will solve these issues before the final release. Thanks again.
Salut, j'ai testé la démo et j'adore ce mix entre tetris et minecraft, on pourra l'acheter sur Desura un de ces quatre?
