It's like a bad tutorial for a game you already know how to play. Like taking the simplest part of a software and thinking they are the hardest part of it. Yeah, I fell for the instagram commercial.

As a huge Blender fan, I was incredibly excited about the concept of this game. A fun, interactive way to learn the software sounds great on paper. Unfortunately, the execution is so abysmal I couldn't stand playing for more than 15 minutes. The game is riddled with bugs and is shockingly unoptimized. Yes, it's early access, but the issues here are fundamental and frankly, quite amateurish. On top of the technical mess, the game has no music, only jarring and randomly occurring sound effects. There is zero progression. You're essentially paying a premium for a basic tutorial on how to move, rotate, and scale objects—something you can learn from countless free, high-quality tutorials on YouTube. I understand the appeal of the core idea, especially for absolute beginners or kids who could learn Blender in a gamified way. However, I simply cannot recommend it. You waste more time aimlessly walking around a tiny map than you do learning. You'd be much better off watching Blender Guru's...

At this time the game is very early access but it has a lot of potential! I look forward to coming back and finding updates! <3

This is far from done. It's offensive that it was released as an early access game. it's not even ready for an alpha! maybe 5 or maybe 10mins worth of gameplay at most. teaches you how to use your mouse, open blender so you can learn that for free so disappointed and so not worth it i might write moar later

Lesson learned. Should have scrolled down before adding to cart. I truly HOPE this game gets more content added and it doesn't stay in limbo for eternity. This is such a cool concept if it can be executed well. Please continue adding to this game. In it's current state, it REALLY shouldn't have been released as an early access game.. let alone charge that much for what is there. Maybe this was done to put feelers out there to see if you should keep developing it? Either way, at this point in time I can't recommend to people to download the full version, but maybe to download the demo. Once more content is added with more lessons and maybe if some of the creases are ironed out, I can change this from a thumbs down to a thumbs up. Thank you! Happy developing!

While this game has a lot of promise, And I really liked some of the details and mechanics that this uses to portray skills for blender itself, I found the ability to move the camera was way too slow, even with the sensitivity put to the max. That said, it took me less than 30 mins to either get through all the games content and the most I learned is how to position the camera, pan the camera, and move already made objects around. Past that the game softlocked and I couldn't figure out how or where to go for about, 5 or so minutes. With no pause menu attached to the escape button, it took me a moment to realise that tab did that job instead, but even on the main menu, I couldn't actually quit the game. I needed to close the window manually. Once this game gets some updates and QoL changes, I think this could actually help people learn blender, but right now it's just a buggy game that doesn't have alot of content, and is incredibly easy to sequence break for those who like to explo...

I think this game is a novel and fun way to show and teach the basics of Blender. BUT it is still VERY early in its stages. I have a pretty strong pc but even my warmachine was screaming while the game ran. There is a lot of optimization issues, gameplay issues (like literally being unable to progress because it just wont load, and a bunch of tiny bugs). But I really hope this game gets the help it deserves to bring Blender to a bigger audience.

I was thoroughly excited to get my hands on this game to only be met with 5 levels that can be played through fairly quickly. Pretty much after that
