Terraria on iOS
 

That's right! Terraria has been released on iOS! Maybe on Android? Someone confirm that.
It currently costs 4.99$ and it's just awesome. The PC game has literally been ported to your mobile device, with only a few small bugs! Amazing! There's even new features!
Some of them are:
-New enemies! (Orca!)
-Pets! (Cabbage!)
-5 inventory slots, or 10!
I believe they added all the XBox features to it, too!


There IS, however, a few issues.
-World is too small
-No multiplayer
-Controls are a bit rough when you try aiming. Don't use a joystick to aim.

The controls are, however, very good. Very responsive, and handy.

Just got it, played it. It's addictive. Any thoughts?

Considering how often it can be found on steam for like $2, it's not very compelling to get. Especially since it's the kind of game that once you did everything you can, it becomes immediately boring... and I've done everything on the PC. I do wonder how well the controls translate, as it's not exactly a forgiving game.

If it pops up on free weekly app though I will definitely pick it up. Not worth the $5 though, for me personally. Especially when you know it's not going to be getting any worthwhile updates, and Starbound is closing in.

I just bought it, expecting it to have terrible controls, and not even be up to date. But so far the controls are very smooth. Much better than minecraft ios controls.

Yes i just compared minecraft and terreria. Wunna fite aboot it?

Oh ****, Terraria is going mobile? I tried running it before with Branches, but that failed miserably. I wonder how mobile will be once/if it goes to android.

I was JUST playing Terraria on the computer.

Goodbye life.

It's actually up-to-date. I think it's the XBox version that's been ported. Because... Well... Orcas.

The only thing I dont like that much is the menu interface. I find it annoying moving around items, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Very fun so far.

It does suck. I hope they improve it... But it's good, for now.

*Waiting for the android version*

It's only £2.99 for us in the UK so I'll be checking this out. Downloading it now :3

Must... Get... iTunes... Gift card...

To be honest, I feel like the Dungeon and Skeletron was too easy.

I used a Deadly Musket, Iron Armour, a Mystic Water Bolt (Entered dungeon before killing him, found it), and a really small arena. Full health, too. Way too easy. My game even crashed and I had to do all that all over again. It's just too damn easy.

Entered dungeon, and I had to hold water candles just for things to try killing me.

I hope they fix the difficulty...
I hope.

I hope they add bigger worlds, too. It's just stupid how developers like Mojang and Re-Digit/505 Studios treat the iOS platform like some delicate vase. Actually, Re-Digit does take advantage of the hardware! The game crashes on my iPad, but not iPad 2. That's pretty neat!

What's even more funny, is that I'm pretty sure Minecraft PE has been out far longer than Terraria even began being developed for iOS, and it turned out better. I know it takes a very long time to develop games, but Minecraft PE just recently got double chests. What the hell.

I recall the developers saying that the Nether wouldn't be added. But tell me... WHY. Look at the other iOS games! They have so many damn polygons, such a HUGE DETAILED WORLD, but you can't add the Nether? That's just embarrassing.

End of rant. Got a bit too out of hand, with me talking about Minecraft PE. Sorry.

TL;DR
-Terraria needs to be more difficult
-Needs bigger worlds
-Minecraft PE is being developed too damn slow, with unnecessary updates. Add the basics, for crying out loud.
-Minecraft PE isn't taking advantage of the iOS hardware

Just got the game. Creative controls. A little difficult to mine things towards the top of your screen. Overall, the game is pretty fun.

I can't even HIT skeletron...

Use everything I told you except water bolt. A gun is good. Just shoot the hands. Everything else becomes easier.

Finally beat the crap out of skeletron with a War Axe of the Night and a Superior Enchanted Boomerang .-.

Now there's a guy called the Wall of Flesh...

1) enter dungeon
2) get marusama
3) ???
4) prosper!


Sadly though I can't say I liked how they changed the mechanics of the dungeon. Needing golden keys was a horrible change and made for unnecessary grinding. It should have at least been like the shadow chests where 1 key = unlock for all chests. Grinding and grinding for golden keys was a drag, especially when you need to save at least 3 for the floating islands.

I have plans for him...

I got Marusama and the Magic Missile. I do agree the dungeon mechanics are a little weird... Sometimes random spike balls will just pop up right behind me .-.

I agree. Dungeon keys are a pain.
Did anyone notice the bound NPC's (Tinkerer, Mechanic) pop out of thin air infront of you? It happened to me... And crashed my game.

I thought you have to fight the goblin army to get the tinkerer... Well I did fight them. And my village was massacred as a result.

Worst kind of game-ever.

Looks like a MineCraft and Spring Planet MIX. Interesting.

Terraria is a great game and nothing like Minecraft. It's more of a metroidvania than anything, you just happen to be able to modify the world like Minecraft. But it's really nothing like Minecraft... in fact I wish Minecraft did more things like Terraria. Actually... Notch tried to make Minecraft more like Terraria after playing it, but failed terribly. Dungeons and the dragon were what came to Minecraft after Notch played Terraria.

Potions...

Terraria probably runs a whole lot better than minecraft. Of course given that its 2D. But unfortunately though since downloading I've already noticed several annoying bugs in the iOS version. Some of them along the lines of not being able to open chests, game crashing, missing money, and even disappearing frames. I do hope for an update and fast.

Eh... people should really get past that assumption that 2D isn't as intensive as 3D. Generally ya, 2D games will probably run better than 3D, but the problem is people assume because a game is 2D it will always be able to outperform a 3D game. "I CAN RUN <such and such 3D game> ON MY PC BUT YOUR CRAPPY 2D GAME STILL MANAGES TO SLOW DOWN!!!" It all depends on what the game is doing. At the lowest level many 2D games are rendering their textures to polygons anyways(even Graal does this, if you zoom in on your iDevice you can see where the textures don't quite line up right at the edges of the quads due to the bilinear filtering). Then factor in other things that might be more intensive than graphics(intensive cpu factors, such as in Terraria: lighting. Shaders and such are another culprit) it's not unlikely that a 2D game can run worse than a 3D one.

Yeah, Terraria seems like it has a lot going on at once.

Especially if you have a Mob Statue grinder...
Laggy, but gets you tons of money.

Played for 3-4 Days, killed cthulululul got my War Axe of the Night!

I got...
I just have a Minishark. You guys are good.

Something wierd happend... Meteorite came down, then a minute later Goblin army is approaching from the east..

I get them every five - six in-game days. They're common, and fun.

I hate 3D games..cameras are the worst.

needs bigger worlds

Just got mine too. Now to do floating islands...

Because that has anything to do with this thread.

I need help, everytime i open the dryad's shop it crashes, any fixes?

Crap, deleted the game and reinstalled, lost my character and world save...

WHY TERRARIA?! WHY YOU DO THIS?!?! WHY YOU TAKE MY MAIN WORLD AWAY?! WHY?!?!?!

Phew sorry about that... I typically don't get so mad, but the bugs on this game are making me ABSOLUTELY LIVID.

The new update has ruined my Terrarria, by clicking "Play" at the menu's GUI it freezes my game and I can't play.

Finally, bug fixes!
