About Noob Saving Friends
You break and place blocks as you move, much like a small 2D take on Minecraft.
Your goal is to find all of Nubik's friends and save them. You get there by completing tasks, which move the story forward and unlock new options.

Money is what drives everything. The ores you dig up get sold, and the coins go into new pickaxes and skill upgrades. A dragon waits for anyone who wants to challenge it, and lucky blocks leave part of your fortune up to chance.
The story brings in characters you may recognize. Some of them are hiding something from you, and others will need your help.
The world is built from chunky pixel blocks seen from the side. Besides the main layer you can also dig and build on a background layer behind it, which gives you more room to work with.
Quick summary
- You control Nubik and set out to find and save all of his friends.
- You mine ores and sell them to earn coins.
- Coins pay for new pickaxes and skill upgrades.
- Finishing tasks pushes the story along and opens up new opportunities.
Key features
- You break and place blocks on both a front and a background layer.

Tips & tricks
