As an old handheld player, I still remember the time when I was hiding in bed and playing the first-generation ported version of "Minecraft" on the PSP during my high school days. Although the pixel style blocks at that time were rough, the fun of mining, building houses, raising chickens and pigs was extremely pure. Later, there were similar works on the NDS. The stylus felt more exciting than the buttons, and I could play it all night long. Now open "Mini World" on your mobile phone, wow, it feels like traveling back in time! 🌙
Compared with the handheld classics of the year, the graphics of "Mini World" are simply an evolution across the ages. The mosaic buildings on the GBA have turned into a 3D world of three-dimensional light and shadow. You can see the reflection of glass in a city, and you can use explosives to blow up mountains and change river courses. This was something that was unimaginable at the time. But to be honest, at that time, the physics engine of "LocoRoco" on the PSP was cute. Now, although the stacking of blocks in "Mini World" is free, it is less silly and silly. 🎭
What surprised me the most was the online functionality. In the past, when playing "Animal Crossing" on the NDS, you could only use Wi-Fi to visit neighbors. Now, "Mini World" directly brings friends into the world to move bricks and build castles together, and you can also challenge the dark lord. I still remember that a few of us got together and used data lines to transfer files to see the huts built by each other. Now we can share it with our mobile phones. It's like a science fiction movie come true! 😭
Although it lacks the real feel of joysticks and buttons, the touch screen operation is optimized very smoothly on the mobile version. Kneading soil to build mountains and diverting water for irrigation are more convenient than the handheld version. The only thing I miss is the sense of concentration that "the screen is too small to see clearly, but I just can't put it down". Youth has just slipped away in the blocks and pixels, but looking at the bustling world in "Mini World", I feel that nothing has changed. 🎉
If you are also a player from the GBA/PSP era, I really recommend giving this one a try. It is not just a reproduction, but a perfect continuation of childhood creative desire. ✨
