Minecraft on mobile devices is so bad. It gets annoying after five minutes because of the stupid touch screen controls.



^you see he's dancing. Because he's happy.



Nice hope you don't mind posting the news to my XBLA thread for future reference.

Much better on a tablet than a phone. With a phone it is quite cumbersome, but I still managed to create a bad ass 4 story home within a volcano on my old Galaxy S.

Well, until I removed a block I shouldn't have an everything got flooded by lava and well, that was the end of that.

It's a great game, but it can easily devour time and often feel pointless.

Perhaps once it feels pointless, you need to try actually beating it (yes, there are conditions built in so you can beat the game)



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

how much is it on the phone? it's not that cheap on 360 so if it costs as much on phone i would be really surprised about so many sales on phones. if it's cheaper i'm not that surprised, there are probably many crazy guys who own it for console, phone and pc (i own it only for console and pc)



Awsome and well deserved!
