As of 2026, the game has yet to release. Despite the game's shutdown, it still retains an active player base.
Gameplay
Players could build using 3D building blocks that could be combined to construct simple or complex creations. Players could also use "action blocks" and a drag-and-drop visual programming tool to add interactivity to their creations. Examples included drivable cars, flyable jets, and playable games with win/lose conditions, health systems, and other attributes. Players could also upload their creations for others to play.
Audio blocks or "Sound Effects" can be inserted into a block’s action panel. Sounds like horns, exclamations, animal calls, and nature sounds are supplied.
