I like it! The sound gets a little grating, so some more variety or just lower volume would help. I gave up when I got to the bust because the grid is just way too small to be very precise. I know that's kind of the point, but yeah. I can see this being really fun for the right audience with more puzzles and modes, though. You should consider cultivating this idea into something bigger.

This was really fun in a weird, relaxing, zen kind of way. I only wish there was an "undo" button or something.

Very nice! It gets you hook up in little time!
It's a very peaceful game and the idea is great.
The graphic get the job done! The audio on the other hand... a little bit of variety(even just with the pitch i guess) would have benefit the game so much!

Anyway... very nice!

Fun in a relaxed sort of way, I got sucked into this really quickly and played until I realised my bust was beyond saving! Great concept and mood. I only wish the sculpture itself could be placed a little further to the left so the guide picture didn't interfere with your view so much (unless I've missed a way of minimising it?).

Thanks for 10 minutes of contemplative fun! Very enjoyable.

I enjoyed it. I'm not really sure why, just the act of sculpting from something rather then building from nothing is satisfying.

I liked this much more than I was expecting!! Relaxing and entertaining at the same time.

this is great. I liked the sculpting mechanic, it would be nice if the grid was more clear. the goal panel could be smaller I found it got in the way too much.

A heart pounding race to the finish.

I guess not having an undo button makes sense since it's a sculpting simulator, but I really wish it had one. Kept messing up. The mechanics reminded me of minecraft. Overall pretty enjoyable game.

Extremely impressive. The sculpting was a little tedious, but it still kept me occupied for a long time. The sound got a little annoying, but maybe that could be fixed by having more sound variety and some background music. Overall, great interpretation of the theme and great game.

hi there,

I really like the concept. This is like Minecraft meets Zen Gardening. I would have loved more levels.
If you would color the stones a little bit differently it would be easier for the eye to determine the shape (for the statue the player is sculpting as well as for the "template"). The Background is also very nice.

Sculpting was a good theme. Matching the picture was a nice play idea, but there was some UI issues (overlapping the play area), textures were a bit boring.
