Thought I'd just post this as I've come across it and think it looks interesting to say the least.

Also found a Let's Play of it on Youtube done by either the dev or one of the testers.

Managed to resist the leak but have watched far too many hours of play on youtube. Guessing the leak lead to the early release for damage limitation.

Eh, kinda tempted.

Been playing it for about 20 minutes so far and I think I love it. The art style and sense of adventure is great.

Deleted user 16 May 2011 22:46:18

Yep, picked it up shortly after it came out this evening and have to say it's far too much fun and a cracking little game. Already met my first rare, 'Pinky' and had my arse handed to me :

I like it.

Is there a way to stop things spawning underground with lights or is it just a matter of killing things?

I think they spawn from dirt.

I seem to be developing a habit of digging drainage tunnels in caves to allow myself to explore, only to flood the next area on my agenda. Lots of fun so far.

Deleted user 17 May 2011 03:02:01

Hmmm, '20 mins before bed' and I'm still awake at 3am :/

Ajay - have the same problem as you, keep clearing only to find I'm running ahead of myself. Picked up a couple of nice items from chest so far but no luck on getting some mats for my grappling hook :

If an eccentric billionaire decided to create a theme park populated by live dinosaurs by combining the DNA of long-dead beasts with that of modern amphibians, except some lab prankster messed the order up and substituted the genetic material of a Metroidvania species and Minecraft, this is what would be chasing around the park devouring the guests.

I like it a lot.

Getting deeper now, and I'm having to dig my way through a lot more. I suspect that's because I seem to be having bad luck with the aforementioned lakes and I'm having to go around them, though I'm pretty certain I've just breached into a new layer...

Holding down the mouse button while digging and constantly having to move the mouse tiny little increments is kind of irritating.

Deleted user 18 May 2011 02:53:02

Had a couple of runs at [spoilers]Eye of Cthulhu[/spoilers] with no joy so far, just can't do enough damage. :<

Damned addictive games. *shakes fist*

I started a small map and well, it's not really that small at all. I think I may have to start mapping my tunnels. I've got a clear route down to a mushroom plot so I have plenty of healing. I should be close to the lava layer soon, there be lots of gold down there.

I have an enhanced boomerang* and a grappling hook, silver and gold tools and silver and iron armour, but the only accessories I have are two manacles. Found 1 extra heart and have 2 mana stars even though I have no magical items.

I'm also building a tower because there are apparently floating islands to find too.

*Two actually, both found in chests.

Your spoiler didn't work, but it makes me want to buy the game to see it !

Ah bugger.

It's the first proper boss and an awkward git.

Never before have I received so much game for so little money and I've yet to try multiplayer.

Any eurogamer servers up?

Deleted user 18 May 2011 16:40:48

Got my first Flower of Fire \o/

Now to just get some falling stars so I actually have some mana to use it.

One question - this isn't some griefers paradise is it (like that xbox one)? Or is it solo?

Solo or multiplayer. Can use same character across both as far as I'm aware.

Deleted user 18 May 2011 19:20:59

Oh, the launch trailer btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w7uOhFTrrq0

Yes, characters and items are consistent across worlds so if you want to go back to scratch, you have to create a new character (Currently 5 slots).

Solo and MP as Poontash said, very easy jump in and play capability and played with some of the guys from the Terraria IRC channel - although most of the community are pre-pubescent/teenaged scum so best to steer clear.

Be nice to get a game going with you guys, fairly sure some MP Building-Metroidvania hilarity would ensue.

I'd recommend reading the Wiki too. I was a bit lost for the first 30min or so but after realising how big the game was (or wide, or tall) and how many items there were to find/craft it's really stuck it's hook in.

I want a lightsabre damn it!

That's 'Phase Blade' please

Trying not to look at the crafting as I like the surprise of flicking through the build list once I've returned from adventuring and find something new. Depth Meter was an awesome example of this.
