So, time for some graphics feedback:
-Grass and Leaves are somewhat too bright. I'd recommend darkening those a bit for a more 'natural' look.
-Logs look a bit weird. Maybe intersperse those vertical lines with some shorter Diagonal/horizontal to make them look more like bark.
-Stone and Ores look good. However, if you have some lighter pixels, etc. in the stone, you should probably put the same in the ores(at the moment it's all the same shade of gray except for the ore itself.)
-Last point: would you be able to easily add a background? the purple doesn't look right :P

Sorry if I'm a bit OCD about this... I'm insanely picky on pixel art. Feel free to ignore any of what I said, though. This already looks pretty nice, so I'd focus on the game mechanics first ;)

Nah, it's OK. I'm not quite satisfied with the graphics myself, but I'll get the game mechanics working right before I start messing around with graphics ;)

If you give me dimensions and a list of sprites to make, I'd try to help ;)

Finally, AN UPDATE!

Check the first post in the topic for screenies and download link of new version 0.1.3. This version adds water, sand (it falls!), and lakes that randomly generate.

We can't jump anymore? O.O Or did you change the controls? Could you post them?

Also nice to see this updated again. As for the water it doesn't seems to work, though. I'm standing on it and I don't fall in it. D: (unless what I'm standing on is actually ice?)

Also suggestion: Add key repeat for moving around. I hate having to repeatdely press arrow keys to move around D:

Oh yes. That is something I forgot to implement. Also I took out jumping because it was so buggy and I'm still trying to fix it. 0.2 (or 0.1.4) should have jumping and swimming.

Ah ok thanks for the info. Also I like the water generation lol. I made a giant cavern then carved a hole at the top and it was fun to see it get filled.

BUG REPORT: The jumping looked all right at the start of the game, but as soon as I started destroying blocks, the framerate dropped to approximately 1fps, and from then it started going slower and slower untill I had to hold down escape for over 10 seconds to close it.

That's a problem with the water. What happens is that if lakes generate halfway outside the world, the water starts spewing out all over the void, causing infinite calculations and extreme slowness. Just generate a new world if this happens ([ESC] -> Restart -> New World).

I fixed the lake generation bug. Here it is in beta 0.3b1: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36428286/mcland/betas/mcland_0.3b1.exe

Also, I set up a website for this project! Check it out http://acrennie.wix.com/mcland

Will try new version when i arrive home later. Nice to see new updates. Does the new version add key repeat. For movement btw?

EDIT: By the way on your site the 0.3 beta link doesn't work. It just sits there loading, but nothing ever happens. 0.2 downloaded fine, though.

I don't have any problems with the 0.3b1 download, did you try multiple times? It could have been Dropbox going slow.
