Terraria

Imagine if Minecraft had rocket boots, goblin invasions, and events in which giant skeletons attacked you.

Imagine if Minecraft were as good as it could be. Imagine if Notch weren't such a :bou::bou::bou::bou: programmer.

Imagine if Minecraft were 2D but still awesome in spite of this fact.

You know, I've been on a huge Minecraft rush lately, and I happened upon this game. This game looks really great, but not in the Minecrafty kind of way. I think I'd like it more for the Metroidvania aspects.

It reminds me a lot of an early Nintendo-era Zelda game with Castlevania elements. It is amusing.

I ventured to hell today and after a few ill-attempts ending in my death, mostly due to the combined forces of massive skeletal dragon worms and lava pools, I managed to farm up 1,700 blocks of Hellstone to forge one of the best sets currently in the game.

I've also done some adventuring in the Underground Forest, but was overwhelmed by an army of hornets and man-eating plants.

I haven't ventured into the dungeon though, since I'm deathly afraid of Skeletron.
