I search google play and see this

As usual the reviews are funny.

The reviews are hilarious. In fact, I'll quote one:
"Bring the original one back Why the heck wood you take off the original world craft I still have it tho but still if I deleted it I wood never get to play it again.please bring the original world craft back"

Such ignorance.

Guess those users have no idea that Minetest as such exists and why using those particular clones in the appstore is not a good idea...

Perhaps it's time for early alpha-releases of the android builds by stu, sapier or sfan5? They work all pretty well. There are users out there that want to play the game on their android devices, we have mostly working ports...any way to bring them together? :-)

For most of the audience here, alternate appstores like F-droid might be places where we'd first look for intresting apps. For the majority of people, it'd probably have to be the google appstore.

Doesn't give the original source, as I explained before.

Need source code of THAT app, not our program.

Though the fact that that one linked to the Minetest source code and didn't try to hide the fact that it's a port of Minetest suggests a non-malicious intent, so maybe they'll correct the problem if they're sent a simple message explaining what they need to do, unlike the "Buildcraft" guy.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, voxel games in general are on the way out. Even slashdot doesn't talk about Minecraft much anymore.

Waa, the Lime-Soft put two minetest on google play now!

Try to go more strict on the guy. I'm using a translator and from what I infer, he doesn't give a damn, literally.

The Globemnner dev was better compared to this guy, though
