PLEASE NOTE: This review is written for the 2021 Minetest Game Jam version of this game, by a PARTICIPANT. I used Minetest version 5.4.1 to playtest.
There is not much to do except hopping around to color the blocks. On the ContentDB I heard of dragons by replicating something in the screenshots but I was so completely unexcited by this idea I didn't even try. This is very essential information, should be all in-game. Since this is a GAME jam, not a SANDBOX jam, I have no choice but to give a thumbs down.
And even as a sandbox, I think it's boring since you literally have only 4 actions.
I highly appreciate the experimental nature of this very unusual game/sandbox concept, however. Experimenting with new concept is always great, so obviously some experiments end up in failure. Don't feel bad for this project, the thing is that you did something.
A sandbox is a kind of game, I think 'genre' is the word?. Unless you meant a literal sandbox, which this game is not.
I think this kind of game is perfectly fine as a jam submission.
And even as a sandbox, I think it's boring since you literally have only 4 actions.
What are these 4 actions? I can build a fully automatic firework launcher, and I've only scratched the surface of the block mechanics

This comes across as quite rude. You seem to assume nobody else likes this project and that it's a failure because of that?
