Steinkraft is a game that places the player into a world made of unit sized cubes. This game was temporarily called “PetraVis”. It was one of the first Minecraft clones available on mobile devices. Many months before the official Minecraft PE was released. During 2011 and 2012 it was quite popular on the iOS AppStore and Android Play Store. I also did a Windows Phone port.
