Terraria Offers Two-Dimensional Mining, Exploring And Giant Eyeballs

Too many measure and not sufficient stupidity for you in Minecraft ? Then Terraria might be the diversion for you.

It's easy to call Terraria a Minecraft clone, but that wouldn't be wholly satisfactory - not usually since Minecraft author Markus "Notch" Persson has long certified that his diversion is a counterpart of Infiniminer , but moreover since Terraria takes the Minecraft formula, adds far more materials, monsters and weapons, and whizzes it all up in an massive videogames blender.

The game's picked up a satisfactory bit of attention, selling more than 50,000 copies on its initial day at $10 apiece, meaning it has already generated revenues of around $500,000. At the time of writing, it's second on the Steam charts, forward of Portal 2 , Fable III , Duke Nukem Forever and Fallout New Vegas: Honest Hearts . Only The Witcher 2 is selling better.

If you wish to give it a try for yourself, you can hack up $10 for Terraria on Steam . If you're nonetheless to be convinced, have a look at a few of the Terraria videos uploaded by developer Re-Logic on YouTube .
