Two weeks ago, we told you that Blocks That Matter was one of the 21 finalists of Dream.Build.Play 2011. Well, the winners of this contest, organized by Microsoft to promote games made with XNA tools, has been announced yesterday morning and our heart went boom when we discovered them.

Indeed Blocks That Matter has been selected as Dream.Build.Play 2011 Grand Prize! According to the rules of the contest, it means we won 40.000 dollars and an hypothetical slot for a game on Xbox Live Arcade.

And that’s all we know for the moment cause we haven’t been contacted by Microsoft since the announcement. We will keep you informed.

Morusque (Yann van der Cruyssen) just released the original soundtrack of Blocks That Matter on Bandcamp, and it is just…amazing.

This album version is free to listen but you can buy it for 3 euros (or more) and you’ll have its 17 tracks (or more) in different files versions, including MP3 320 and FLAC.

Géraud Soulié, the character designer and illustrator of Blocks That Matter, crafted its cover with love.

Thank you Yann and Géraud!

Finally, the game is available on Steam for Windows and Mac users.
Launch trailer, tell us everything you know about Blocks That Matter!

You can buy the game by following this link.

We know some players have difficulties to run the game, but we are working to fix this issue as quickly as we can. If you have some problems, go ckeck out the game’s Steam group to find possible temporary solutions.

The game will be available for Linux players next week, somewhere on the internet. We’ll keep you informed. (EDIT : The game is now available on Linux!).

The list of the 21 game finalists for this year’s Dream.Build.Play contest has been revealed yesterday, and we are proud (to be polite) to see that Blocks That Matter is one of them!

And there’s another reason to be happy today cause Sequence, the Rythm-RPG game from Iridium games, is also in the list and we love it as much as we love our own baby.
