Avakin Life vs Growtopia
Avakin Life
Avakin Life is a fun and popular social virtual world game that you can play directly on your mobile devices. It may not be as rich in features as other PC-based virtual world games, but it has everything you'd expect from a game that can be grouped with the likes of Second Life and IMVU in the same genre. You can customize your avatar's look and accessories whenever you like with clothes, and animations. You can even bring along a Petkin!Complete quests and actions to earn coins which you can then splurge on apartment decor aside from more clothes. You can purchase and stream the music you like from Shoutcast as well. Visit the many different bars and hangouts the game has to offer, and have fun interacting and meeting with new people from all around the world. Of course, we hardly even need to point out that the game's gorgeous graphics.
Honestly, in many ways, Avakin Life feels like the mobile version of Second Life albeit without all the in-depth world-creating aspect. If you like the idea of playing a more social game, then Avakin Life is for you!
Growtopia
Growtopia is a unique type of 2D sandbox game due to its incredibly social nature, as well as its special seed-splicing system that allows its players to discover new types of blocks and items. In this game, players can harvest the blocks they need by punching their surroundings, be it the ground below their avatar's feet or the tree that someone planted in a public world, and then use these blocks to create almost anything they like! There are tons of worlds in this game that you can visit and you can create new ones whenever want.That said, one of the two more interesting parts about this game though is the players' ability to obtain seeds of various types of blocks like stone, dirt and others - it sounds ridiculous, but bear with me for a minute here - and splice these seeds to get other, rarer types of blocks and items. The other part being the ability to set up player stalls. Players can actually sell off the stuff they have spliced in stalls they have set up and use the game's chat system to broadcast their wares.
Growtopia may feel like just another "Minecraft-like" sandbox game albeit in a 2D form, but once you play it, you'll quickly realize how social the game is. Of course, let's not forget about its one-of-a-kind splicing system as well. This is definitely a very unique sandbox game that you'd be missing out if you have not at least tried it.
