Growtopia vs Sinespace
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.
Sinespace
Sinespace is a pretty remarkable, brand-new virtual world game where you can literally be anyone you like, create anything you like, and explore anywhere you like! Setting itself as a direct competitor of Second Life, this game has so much more to offer and it is creator-friendly way too. Not only it is free, creators will almost have unlimited resources to do so and on a platform (Unity3D) that’s as good as it gets. Granted that you’ll probably need to spend hours poring over the game’s documentation and tutorial videos on YouTube to creating something, all the effort you put in will be very well worth it. There are already a couple of creators on board and they have been busy making some items for players to use.Of course, like most virtual world games, there are many worlds for you to explore as well. You can even create your own world and customize it to your liking... or you can simply use one of the several pre-build homes available.
All in all, Sinespace is definitely a strong competitor to Second Life and IMVU especially once it’s fully fleshed out and launched. If you’re interested to get a head start, you can download the game now and start creating!
