Minecraft-like game, except 2d!

You're.

OT: Looks pretty decent despite blatantly suckling the success overflow of Minecraft. Some unique ideas mixed with some culture cliche that's hit and miss. If it didn't try to sell itself a a Minecraft competitor, and was either free or very cheap, it would do much better. It seems especially suited to a handheld-device port. If I saw this in the AppStore / Cydia I'd probably get it.

It's not going to shift Minecraft anywhere though, it's creativity is too limited, and it's strengths seem to be in small party boss and dungeon raiding, which other games have been doing since time immemorial so has some very distinguished competition. It doesn't provide the complexity the attack score addicts (Disgaea) need or the character development the likes of WoW can provide.

Well, its interesting, to say the least...

 

[gamer_parent]

what I'm curious about is whether or not the system will be as robust as minecraft. I mean, people can simulate a computer in minecraft, for crying out loud. Even my neighbor was able to built a cannon in minecraft. I so far don't see anything here in the physics engine that can do some insane stuff like that yet.

Of course, that might not be it's main appeal anyway. Personally, I think billing this as a minecraft but 2D is a mistake in the first place. That kind of marketing fails because it's basically saying, "our game IS a rip off of this other game, but in 2D!" (which in many ways, can be utterly meaningless)

I mean, we can all see there is other stuff going on, but also there are also ways it simply CANNOT compare to minecraft. So.. eh... we'll see.

Wow, that actually looks pretty cool.
Why can't anyone just play both?
I know I'll be trying this out, and I'll still be playing Minecraft as well...

 

[liquidangry]

Cool story bro! Only problem is, I have Minecraft, which happens to be in 3D

Dude, no.. Read the last 5 pages..

Why should I bother?

Redundancy alert.

What turns me off immediately about this is the the character sprites look like they were ripped from a Megaman game and changed a bit.

It gives me a massive nostalgia bo- i don't want to be on probation

also they are actually ripped from FF

-snip-

Don't get me wrong, game looks fun and I might even pick it up depending on the price.

I'd rather pay money for this than angry birds any day. Now theres an overhyped game... yay...crush the castle a free flash game on my phone...

 

[lukenhiumur]

looks pretty fun

 

[spiffleh]

why does everybody enjoy heterosexual relations with Minecraft? (there, better worded)

It looks pretty cool and I bet it eliminates at least some of the confusion that comes with huge caves, but I didn't see much building involved, and, well, that's ninety percent of the patented "Minecraft Experience"

Uh, Gay is homosexual, meaning you prefer the same gender.
Heterosexual is that you prefer the other gender, the most common.

I think you totally missed this guy's point u__u

OT: It looks boring. Then again, I thought minecraft was boring. (I'm not creative enough for it...)

Why is everybody gay for Minecraft? not saying it offencively, but I just can't get into it...

Because people like it. Kinda is offensive when you use gay but oh well.

Actually assuming that being gay is a bad thing is offensive but I agree it did sound like he was having a go at people that like minecraft plus he can't spell offensive therefore I can confidently state I am a better human being than him.

Because that's how it works.

edit: ya know what? forget it
your not worth my time

I can't help but think of the fighter from Final Fantasy when I see the little man sprite.

More enemies, better combat, npcs, and more... maybe you should watch the vid before you start blindly hating hit.

I have watched the video. I can confirm it looks, and this is the technical term, "fucking pointless". Especially when you can run Minecraft using some pubic hair, a rock, and a hamster running in a wheel.

The game looks great, might even be better then minecraft for those of us that like combat more. It also looks like you might level up and/or gain more max stars along the way.

Tons of questions about it though and I don't see anything but the one trailer video on the website.

Can you enjoy the game solo? Those bosses look like they were made to fight with multiple characters for instance.

Is there a leveling system? Different weapons etc to fight with?

How does crafting work etc.

Tons of stuff that would need to be answered. A demo of the game would also be very useful although the trailer does make it look worth playing. Still really need to have more information.

did you see the boss battles in the end? this looks like it could be a great game.

The 3 people with low post counts and no avatar (and not including the OP) all love it.

Veeeeeery interesting.

*suspicious eyes*

So then whats my computers excuse for not being able to run it?

Well I'm gay...
And I like minecraft...

Go figure :s

What if Minecraft was a female? Does that makes me a lesbian? =D

I think Minecraft would be transgender

It means we can all be gay for Minecraft! Yay!

 

[Kris015]

Just a little video a came across for a new game called terraria, it's almost done and looks like a 2d version of Minecraft. The worlds are randomly generated and it's more focused on combat.

What do you guys think after watching this vid?
http://terraria.org/

That looks pretty damn awesome.

Will it be free?

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the FAQ

 

[Barbie Boy]

Is that fighter from final fantasy I? ^^

I don't really want to hop on the hate-bang-wagon but Terraria just looks like a cynical cash in on Minecraft's popularity. Doesn't mean it's not fun, mind.

 

[Chris646]

This game does look a fair bit like minecraft, with the textures and tools being almost carbon copies from minecraft, but it looks different enough to work, kindasorta.

On a unrelated note..its you 666th post.

Just read the entire thread and just have repeat what other people are saying

It's an interesting game but titling the thread comparing it to minecraft just makes me judge it to minecraft in which case, minecraft wins out due to many factors. Such as the price tag ( it seems to be a bit steep on a PC game where I can get a more advanced game for a much cheaper price. If it was free and on a flash game site, it would probably be a winnar as kids at school generally play those types of games at school.

Although if it was on the ds I would be tempted to buy it.
