Terraria

[franz]

anyone tried this game? I haven't yet, but a few friends have.

it has a really classic 2d look, and I found one guy reviewing the game mention Worms (though only about random terrain)
he describes it like: a 2D side scrolling MMO that combines the mining and crafting elements of Minecraft, the adventure aspects of Metroid/Zelda and random terrain generation similar to Worms.

it's a steam game, and relatively cheap like 10$

it just reminds me how disappointed I sometimes feel about team17 for not taking W:A/WWP further into something greater,
when they've always said stuff like "no... 3D games is the future!"  

this game is hovering around 20,000 active players currently
