P.S Buy it while it is in Alpha because when it gets to beta it will be i think 19,99 euros but if you buy alpha and it gets to beta you only have to pay 9,99 euros.
... I want this game. I've been wanting it for a while. Back in September I gave my mom $13 (roughly 10 euros, I think) and asked her if I could get a game and she said no.
Yep, played it for a bit. It gets rather repetitive after playing it for 24 hours of single player. I also wouldn't buy it since they only sell it through paypal (which after Wikileaks I will never use) or credit cards which are a ticket to loosing money and I don't trust the site. Maybe if they sold it through steam I might be tempted to get it.
That is what I did. The only point in buying the game would be for multiplayer.
Or supporting the creator of the game, who just started a company and has employees now, so that he(they) can continue to add to and improve Minecraft.
Also, in response to OP saying its a flash game, its not. Minecraft was written in java.
I played it today. I didn't like it at all. All you can do is just build and destroy stuff. Not very fun for me. I'm more of a shooting and racing games.
