Fantage vs Growtopia
Fantage
Fantage is a fun 2D virtual world game where players get to chat and meet new friends, dress their avatars up fashionably, maintain an active in-game "social media profile", and explore the vast and fantastical world of Fantage. In this game, you are also given a virtual home to not only decorate but to host wild parties in by inviting every player on the server. There are plenty of games for you to play, achievements to earn, collectibles to... well, collect, and for those who long for a cute furry friend, you can even hatch or adopt adorable pets! Fantage also has a competitive side – it has a ranking system for the best dressed, the best home decorator and the best gamer.So, if you fancy your chances of getting these coveted and hotly-contested titles, you should absolutely sign up and compete. Fantage is one of the most entertaining 2D virtual worlds we've played so far. If you're into this sort of games, you should definitely drop by and take a look!

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.
