Developed by Markus Persson, aka "Notch", this 16 bit game is a sandbox mine building game. The alpha version of the game comes with a Singleplayer mode called "Survival", the goal of this mode is survive in the wild from "mobs" or zombies, skeletons spiders, and exploding creatures called "Creepers". You also have chickens, pigs and cows which you can use to your advantage. The map is infinite meaning that it is constantly being generated as you explore the map. There are many different blocks in this game that can be crafted into useful items such as tools or weapons. As you dig down, you will eventually find very rare items such as Redstone, gold and diamonds that can be converted into many precious items. Since the game is expected to move to beta, you can expect a whole lot of new features to be introduced.
There's also a Multiplayer mode currently being integrated more into the game. Survival mode is supposed to be integrated into MP and once this is done, a beta version will be released.
As of now, the game costs about $13 US or 9 EUR. The price is supposed to go up soon so don't miss this chance!
