Kids love to make stuff with blocks. They're incredibly basic, but they're also a fantastic and imaginative tool. In many ways BlocksWorld HD is the same thing, only digital. It provides users/players with a fairly simple set of tools and gives them the opportunity to do just about whatever they'd like. As a toybox, it can be really cool to play around in. As a game, not so much.
It seems a little overwhelming at first, but BlocksWorld's interface is actually very easy to learn. In fact, the puzzle-scenarios that are available alongside the main creation mode are a great way to learn the ropes and earn extra blocks (more on that later). Like I've said, pieces and textures and such can just be dragged and dropped from the tray on the side. Individual pieces can also be adjusted with simple contextual controls. Even the programming is a cinch to figure out as it relies on incredibly basic commands. With enough time and blocks just about anything can be built.
BlocksWorld HD is a very neat creation tool that offers a remarkable amount of possibilities. But it's also held back by its incredibly rudimentary game-like features and block/color/texture limits. It's fun to play with, but not much fun to play.
