The brief

Block Builder is a side view of rolling hills and nothing else to win. There is no score and no clock. Pick a block and paint the grid: grass, dirt, stone, wood, leaves, sand, brick, glass, or water.

Tap a square to place one block, or drag to paint a line. Erase lifts blocks back out. Fill replaces a whole connected area, which is the fast way to change a wall or a sky. Sand is the only block that falls, so pull out the support and watch it drop.

Undo walks back through the last 40 edits. A new landscape rolls fresh hills and trees. The build saves itself in this browser. Copy build code if you want a friend to paste it and press Load on their own device. Keys 1 to 9 pick blocks, E erases, F fills, and Ctrl+Z undoes.

How to build

Choose a block, then tap or drag on the grid. Switch to Erase to remove, or Fill to repaint a connected region in one gesture.

Questions

FAQ

Is this a mining game?

No. It is a 2D builder. There are no monsters and no survival meter.

Will the build stay?

Yes, in local storage on this device. The build code moves it somewhere else.

How do you build on a phone?

Tap a block in the palette, then tap or drag on the grid. Undo fixes a slip.
