Your isometric screenshots like this one [1] give me the idea of a 3D Lemmings-like game. Throngs of little critters walking stupidly through the environment, turning at right angles, sometimes building little cubical stairs, sometimes blowing themselves up to create spherical holes in everything. I wonder if that's the right gameplay idea for voxels.

The bad news is that there already was a Lemmings 3D. It wasn't a hit:

You'll want to try and avoid its mistakes!

That was based on Minecraft-like big blocks though, not small voxels.

I enjoyed lemmings 3D, it was clunky but ahead of its time :)

I think that sounds like a perfect match, actually.
