Hi,
I read about this game on a list of EA games that have done good. It is a block based puzzle game that so far seems to have a prefect review score on Steam Early Access. I'm only in the tutorial at this stage so Im not recommending it but people might find it fun. The price $25US might be a bit step for what it is.

huh, kind of an odd game. It's like that factorio game but in 3d and with puzzles. I'm kind of enjoying it but I'm only a little way in. Not sure whether it's value for money or not but for an EA game I haven't got any complaints so far.

I saw lots of tweets from @notch about it. Apparently he is quite the fan of it.

I got bored after just a couple minutes watching a demo vid on YouTube. And then I had a weird thought that it was like some kind of automation propaganda.

You have to build sequences and shapes out of blocks by creating an automated production line. The puzzles are quite hard (for me) but satisfying in the way portal is satisfying. It does remind me of some of the red block stuff in minecraft. I'm not sure it's worth $25 at this stage but I'm really cheap when it comes to games.

If you haven't played Space Chem, then I guess this game won't be for you. That was a great game, but I get the idea that it was a great game for programmers, or those with the programmer puzzle solving mindset. I would imagine that it would be boring at best for someone who doesn't take pride in optimising puzzle solutions.
