the control system for D-Link Dsb-C110 Driver seems unnecessarily complex. You have buttons on either side for hitting blocks, a place-block button on the left, and a jump button on the right. To move you use an invisible directional pad on the left side of the screen (left and right), and you'll need to swipe on the right side of the screen to aim your character. This aiming system is where it gets a little confusing: though it's probably necessary to have it for aiming at specific blocks, what ends up happening is that simple movement
won't turn your character around, so you'll end up walking backward a lot just to get where you need to go. This is not a huge problem, but it does mean that you're required to move to each block, aim at it, then start mining--a time-consuming and less than ideal method for gathering each type of block. It seems like it might have been easier to have a directional pad on the left (that aims and moves), and then buttons for placing and mining blocks on the right. Aside from the somewhat strange control system, you'll be able to do most of what you would expect from playing Minecraft. You can create a workbench that lets you add the same ingredients to make the same items. You can mine downward, find rare blocks, make ladders to get back up, place torches as you go deeper, build giant 2D houses--and really anything else you would do in a 2D Minecraft world. Overall, even with the control system, we think D-Link Dsb-C110 Driver is a neat knockoff that will appeal to fans of Minecraft, but with all the similarities, we wonder just how long it will last in the iTunes App Store. If you're a Minecraft fan and want to try a 2D version, grab this game fast--it may not be around for long. Among the announcements when Apple released iOS 5, a couple of downloadable apps became availab
