MMO Clicker 'Quintillion Cubes to Remove' Gets Free Solo World After Resets
Indie developer azazeo released a free browser prototype of the MMO clicker 'Quintillion cubes to remove' on July 29, following a Reddit post that drew attention for its scale. The game tasks players with digging through a cube made of 100 quintillion blocks, each one meter in size, making each side 1000 kilometers long. Players move in first-person view, left-click to mine, jump with the spacebar, and hover by double-tapping space. Colored blocks yield resources or explode, and players can spend resources on three gears: BLAST DIG, SPEED, and LASER DRILL. The prototype tests performance, and the developer notes 100 quintillion is the maximum number implementable without precision issues. The game's world displays a memory percentage that decreases as players dig, resetting the world when it hits zero. Due to a flood of players, resets became frequent around July 31, prompting azazeo to release a free solo world on August 1. The solo world lets players dig alone and spawn up to 64 bots that also collect resources and buy gears. The developer also mentioned cheaters and bots appeared in the MMO world for the first time, and cloud server API errors occurred frequently on Amazon EC2.
