9579cfc2-3e7d-35c7-af3b-cddda26f71bdhere's a take: caves and cliffs is literally the best minecraft update ever.
not best version, update, as in, it improved the game more than any other update.
yes, better than infdev, better than beta 1.8.
no i'm not joking.
Forbearance@lily I dunno, infdev is pretty good. But I don't know what's in caves and cliffs so
@Forbearance
my logic is that expanding the smaller dimension matters more than expanding the larger dimension. tho actually the world height was 128 at one point so maybe whatever update doubled that is actually best, idk

@lily I don't really like much they do that feels like relaxing their constraints, for the same reason a good horror movie has to stick to its rules. I was dubious even of the Endermen picking up blocks, and the villagers populating a world that seemed more interesting empty.
My favorite mod, in Alpha or Beta I think it was, before villages, filled the world with mysterious, massive, unexplained ruins.
Whatever was implied to be below the bedrock was necessarily cooler than what they added.
@Forbearance that's cool and all, but I want to actually play the game, not just ponder it like an orb
@lily Maybe you just want a different game than me; I have no patience for, like, "gameplay". All the best games are orblikes. Weird little pieces of art that suck you somewhere else, surrounded by load-bearing waist-high fences.
Number 1 #Orblike I Can Think Of On Short Notice: 2020's incomparable "Under A Star Called Sun"

Of course, who can forget 2013's 'wonderfully-sickening' hit title "Horse Master: The Game of Horse Mastery"
https://tommchenry.itch.io/horse-master
Truly one of the #orblike games of all time.
We also of course have the entire oeuvre of Porpentine, from which we can select another 2013 release, "High End Customizable Sauna Experience". This is not so much a representative Porpentine #orblike as a it is bait. https://web.archive.org/web/20190610221147/http://www.aliendovecote.com/uploads/twine/sauna.html
More fine Porpentine #orblike games are available at https://xrafstar.monster/games/ for those who dare to ponder them.
Another #orblike that needs to be on this list is "Seedship", which is not a Twine game probably, because it has a .exe you can download.
"Emily is Away" is an AOL Instant Messenger themed #orblike that makes old nerds cry.
And who could forget @alienmelon, purveyor of fine ponderable #orblike games such as https://mackerelmediafish.com/ which has secretly been powering the Web since 1996.
Honorable Mention to @alienmelon's "Electric Love Potato", which might or might not be an #orblike, but which is a potato.
Another good source of #orblike games might be #Jabrils, who is always on YouTube making weird experiments. "Ultra Bouters", for example, is an attempt at a strategy fighting game. https://jabrils.itch.io/ultrabouters
You also need #orblike "The world had been sad since Tuesday": https://vonbednar.itch.io/the-world-was-sad-since-tuesday
