GROTTSPEL is a side-scrolling sandbox game based on the classic era of Minecraft, redesigned into a third-person side-scrolling format. Players are able to explore infinite procedurally-generated worlds made of blocks, and build whatever they can imagine. Grottspel is focused entirely on the building aspect, and features a "layer" system that allows the player to select which layer they want to build on (foreground, middleground, and background). This gives them to ability to add depth to their builds, which is great for building houses, dioramas, 3D pixel art, etc.
The game is currently still in development, and is planned to receive updates in the future. Additions that will be coming to the game include a survival mode, more blocks, mobs (animals and monsters), the ability to import texture packs, and possibly even online multiplayer, allowing you to explore and build with other players on a server.
