Growtopia vs My Talking Tom
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.
My Talking Tom
My Talking Tom is a pretty unique game where you get to adopt your very own virtual tom cat. Of course, you'll start off with a kitten (named Tom) but by taking good care of it and catering to its needs, your kitty will gradually grow into the cat it is meant to be. Being a pet simulation game, you'll not only get to dress up your cat; you can decorate his surroundings as well. You can even send your cat to various locations around the world and take pictures for your scrapbook or play some fun mini-games with him.The best part about this game though is how Tom respond to your actions. You can poke, stroke, tickle or drag him around and he will react accordingly. Like a parrot, you can also talk to him and he'll repeat everything you say back to you. This sort of reactive interaction is practically unheard of prior to My Talking Tom.
Unlike most pet simulations, the "My Talking" game series often have pets that have incredibly realistic emotions and expressions, in addition to being very adorable, making it a perfect game for players of all ages... and yes, this includes toddlers. My Talking Tom is the very first game in the series and is definitely the most established one. So, if you are interested to give the game a try, this game is your best bet.
