Piggybacking off world-building game Minecraft's millions of downloads, Lego launched a competitor Monday, Fast Company reports.

"Players have the freedom to alter procedurally generated worlds and create anything they can imagine one brick at a time, or use prefabricated structures to customize their environments," a statement read. "Large-scale landscaping tools are available to modify terrain quickly and easily."

Sounds familiar, right? An early version of Lego Worlds is available on Steam.
