What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are reviving Blocskworld, please check https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blocksworld/blocksworld-revival
Please wishlist for more updates!

Blocksworld has been available on iOS devices since August, 2013. We're finally coming to PC (obviously), but we don't want Blocksworld on PC to feel like a cheap mobile port. So we're redesigning many elements of the game. Initially, the biggest change is going to be the UI, which requires a pretty extensive overhaul. Then we'll move on to updating build functionality to give more control to PC users than iOS devices allow. During this redesign phase, we want Blocksworld to be available to play in order to learn more from our players about how we can continue to improve.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to take until the fouth quarter 2026 at the latest, essentially until we've finished implementing the redesigned UI elements for PC. We also plan to continue development and support of Blocksworld past the Early Access phase. Stay tuned for a public roadmap!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The goal of Early Access will be to produce a functional PC version of Blocksworld. There are elements of the iOS version that will not translate well to a PC format (especially UI and controls). Ultimately, the full version of Blocksworld PC is planned to feature a fully redesigned UI for ease of use with a keyboard and mouse, as well as controllers.

Additionally, there are planned updates to action blocks and scripting in general. If you've played the iOS version, you're probably aware of some finicky blocks, like moving platforms and antigravity blocks. While these usually function well enough, they're not always the most useful or intuitive. We're rethinking how these blocks (and more) should work to maximize their building potential!

We will also continue to support and update the full version with additional features, building blocks, actions, and expanded community interaction well past the Early Access phase.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are running a closed playtest for Kickstarter Backers.
Worlds can be built, played, and shared with other players. However, many social features are missing. Some aspects of the UI and some building elements and actions may be frustrating to use for the time being.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are exploring various options for Blocksworld monetization.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Discord: https://discord.gg/tqwcs3j9wm

In the past year of Blocksworld's development on iOS, we've become much more transparent with our processes, and we intend to continue that as we develop the game for PC. We've been trying to include our community as much as possible in our planning and design phases of new features and blocks. We love it when we're able to incorporate and implement ideas for new blocks or features from our community. Our development team is constantly impressed with what the players able to do with the pieces we provide, and we're often amazed at the novel ways they can combine features to create new potential that we never thought possible. We want more of that going forward as we work to expand and improve Blocksworld!”

Reviews

“BlocksWorld HD is more toy than it is game, but it can be entertaining to mess around with.”
80 – 148apps

“Sharing your creations, learning from creations you download, telling stories with them, and recruiting help from others to augment your skill set can create a powerful community.”
Geek Dad

“Blocksworld might not be a game, but it’s a tool with which you could build a game, if such was your desire. Likewise you could build a walking robot, an army of wobbling men, cars and planes that often crash and just about anything else you can put together out of a handful of pieces and a headful of dreams.”
Kotaku
