Growtopia vs Pet Society
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.
Pet Society
Pet Society is a fun pet-based social game where you not only get to customize your own pet avatar, but also decorate your very own virtual home. The game also encourages you to visit and interact with your friends through the game's many different animations or by simply sending a gift. The most intereting part though is that the game has some really addictive mini-games including a competitive running game where you'll need to make use of speed boosts and avoid obstacles (banana peels); a farm where you can grow massively-sized fruits and veggies, and also use these food items (even cupcakes) to fish for and collect a wide variety of odd-looking fishes.Pet Society was one of the most popular games on Facebook and was played by hundreds of thousands of players from all over the world. However, the game had to be shut down by EA Games (Playfish, the original developer of the game, was acquired by EA) as they have to reallocate their resources elsewhere.
That said, you can check out our list of games like Pet Society for similar games to play. None of them are exactly like Pet Society especially when it's at its peak, but we have plenty of fun alternative games to offer.
