The good:
This game is a top-down 8-bit MMO city-builder. The interface is very simple for a city-builder, like Minecraft. The entire planet is a complete wasteland, but can be rebuilt by purchasing materials from a simple point-and-click interface using gold coins, the game's resource. More gold coins can be found by killing slugs, catmen, or thugs. The number of materials number in the dozens, however almost all of these is the same material but rotated 90 degrees. The game is 8-bit, but somehow manages 3-dimensions of building, which gives a lot to the imagination. For example, brown blocks look nice as a house floor, but when stacked on top of each other it looks like a tree trunk. Green blocks make nice grass, but in in the air green blocks looks like tree leaves. Stone blocks in a cube form four walls in a house, but there can be crenellations for a castle's roof. There's limited art possibilities possible for cacti and smiley faces, and no doubt can be fun for someone with an imagination.
There's a lot of ingenuity in this game. For the halloween update, everyone gets the ability to purchase a pumpkin block. The fact that the player has to painstakingly farming gold from monsters prevents players from building too quickly, meaning that there's always plenty of wide open land in order to create a whole town. Town stones, which are required for being a mayor, must be purchased with real money.
The cost: Teleport portals must be purchased with real money. Town banks must be purchased with real money. Which means that aren't many mayors, and there aren't ghost towns of people whose population is exactly one mayor (here's looking at you, Minecraft.) Mayors are not gods but simply have the ability to let others share land and housing easily. I'd like to see one someday. The total cost of creating a whole town with teleport portals is ten bucks.
What bugs me is the amount of content. There's almost nothing. There are three pieces of furniture for the house, and a very limited number of customization options for the character. The game's pizzaz ends a few hours in. It would probably be a blast if there were six to eight people working on the same town all at once, at the same hour, but then the game would be over eight times faster. This games looks like it's in alpha stage.
