Terraria is a 2D game that has often (and somewhat unfairly) been called āMinecraft in 2Dā. Not that the four developers care, since theyāve just sold 200,000 copies in a little over a week.

Whatās undoubtedly lured people towards the game is the fact it appears to operate much like Minecraft with a pinch of Castlevania thrown in, in that you explore a world and craft things while fighting monsters.
Iād say itās a bit closer to being a 2D Dwarf Fortress myself. Well, a different kind of 2D than it is normally, anyway.
