This may actually be the first Thunder program I actually give a fair try. I'll give it a whirl tonight and tell you what I think.

It would be cool if someone made a 2D JavaScript Minetest so Wii, iPhone, and Android users could play it.

I played for about 30 minutes to get the hang of the basic controls. Thunder literally walked me through the beginning process.
- It definitely feels like the early stages of something Minecraft-like, and might have some potential provided the designers don't get bored with it for the 1-2 years it'll take to get this to a stable common ground.
- It is by no means a replacement for Minecraft - still quite buggy, and lags like a son of a bitch when more than one person is playing.
- The light from torches also doesn't carry very well, though I will admit the lighting effect is much moodier. Also not crazy about the whole "torches being represented by a static 2D sprite" thing.
- You have a full crafting grid without any need for a crafting table, which has both merits and flaws I suppose.
- Also, no mobs walking around at night. Thunder tells me there are rats and ogres that shoot fireballs capable of wrecking some serious poo poo, but I didn't see one. I also found a metric poo pooload of iron/steel ore right near the surface, so I have a feeling you're expected to make walls out of steel to resist the fireballs (either that or there really is no sense of balance to speak of).
- The teleporters are meh, I'm sure I'll appreciate them more once I get a chance to explore, for now though they're just kind of a novelty.
- I do like that you can have stacks of 99 instead of 64 in your inventory.
- I don't like that your character is a flat green 2D pixel cowboy looking thing that can actually get trapped in the blocks if you're standing in a spot where someone else is building.
All in all, I plan on giving it another shot, at least until the Minecraft server goes back up.

It would be cool if someone made a 2D JavaScript Minetest so Wii, iPhone, and Android users could play it.Android users have something like 3 or 4 different Minecraft clones to choose from already, not counting Minecraft Pocket Edition. I think there's even a free version of Minebuilder, if you like Minetest then Minebuilder might scratch your itch on mobile.On the XBox Live Indie Marketplace there's Total Miner: Forge, Castleminer, Castleminer Z, Fortresscraft, Miner 4 Ever, Guncraft, Miner Of Duty, Fortress Wars, and Avatar Block War, not to mention Miner Style (more of a building toy than a Minecraft clone), Lootfest Live Design (sort of like Minecraft in 3rd person with smaller bricks and ultra-swift building tools) and Bit Digger (or as I like to call it "Ultima Minecraft" - it's Minecraft as an isometric/2.5D style game). I can personally recommend Total Miner and Castleminer Z as the two best ones, aside from actual Minecraft 360 of course which blows them all out of the water. Most of the clones are 240 Points (about 3 dollars) or less.
We'll see. I still haven't had a chance to explore any underground caverns yet, I'm really interested to see how Minetest does with those. The lack of mobs/bad guys kind of takes the "survival" fun out of it, but it also means I can build for creativity and not for defense. I'd say Minetest would work better without monsters, just so we have a different experience from the one in Minecraft.
