Minicraft

Minicraft is a 2D top-down action game made by Markus "Notch" Persson, for the 2011 48-hour game programming contest Ludum Dare 22. The game was released on December 19, 2011 and never got any official updates.

Gameplay
The gameplay is in some ways similar to Minecraft in that the player must gather materials to craft tools to mine ore, chop trees, farm wheat, dig pits, and stab zombies and slimes. In order to win you must defeat the boss, the Air Wizard. Players spawn in a series of islands, with a border at the edges of the map. Minicraft has 5 biomes, exclusive to the Overworld, which are: Forest, Meadow, Desert, Mountain and Ocean.
