Minecraft is a popular survival game created by Mojang for various platforms. Even though this project changed names during its inception stages, in the end, the developers decided to use this one. I'm pretty sure many of you already know its gameplay from the computer market. Since the day it was launched on the Google Play Store, this release has collected hundreds of millions of downloads and installs. If you count the player base from PC and consoles, those numbers go high without a doubt. It's hard not to imagine the amount of success this game gathered thanks to the infinite worlds we can explore and challenges to tackle. Just take a look at its ratings on Google Play, and you'll see how appreciated this release is. Out of 4 million votes, Minecraft is ranked around close to 5 out of 5 stars.
As soon as you launch this mobile game, you can pick between various modes, including Survival, Creative, and Super-Hard Mode. The first one is probably the most fun, at least to me. That constant fight for survival is something different. Each time we start a new scenario, the entire world appears randomly, making the game a pleasure. In the first stages, the purpose is to stay alive and not allow the various elements like monsters, hunger, and dangerous landscape to take your life. Always keep an eye on the health bar because the character needs to eat from time to time to stay alive. For example, if you run, this bar gets depleted faster.
Monsters are the primary reason players die in this mode. It's hard to maintain the health bar to full capacity if you don't have armor to protect your body. Remember to collect various resources and take advantage of them to create body plates, boots, helmets, and pants. Besides crafting items solely for defense, we can also create offensive objects like swords, shovels, axes, pickaxes, and bows. Plus, we can use some of these items to collect even more resources. Use the ax to chop down trees, the shovel to pick up sand, and the pickaxe to mine for stone, iron ore, gold ore, diamond ore, etc.
Each time we mine a resource, kill an animal, or a monster, the game rewards our character with experience points which we can spend later to enhance our items. Another way to feed yourself is by farming. Plant various legumes like carrots, potatoes, harvest them, and then cook them. The Creative Mode is available for those who love to build all sorts of structures without worrying about collecting the required resources. This simple game mode gives us access to unlimited amounts of wood blocks, stone, gold, sand, etc.
If you love the survival mode and want more challenges, please try the Super-Hard mode because here we only have one life, and if we die, there's no way to load the existent world. When death comes, the only way to play again is to start a new scenario. Concerning controls, players can move their characters by tapping the buttons available on the screen. This task is as straightforward as possible. Take advantage of the slot system present at the bottom of the screen to give yourself quick access to crucial items.
