I picked it up few months ago and played it for a while. Good game - I like it better than Minecraft, mainly because pixelated 2d graphics suit my taste.
There's another, very similar game - Starbound, which has almost identical game-play mechanics and graphics style, but with more of a sci-fi spin and an overarching story.

Yeah, I know of Starbound... and I like the Sci Fi theme... but I haven't bought it yet because I've never been a fan of stories in game. I just get the feeling I'm gonna always enjoy Terraria's straightforward approach more.
But I will get it and give it a go eventually.
Terraria is so freaking addictive.
I also prefer Terraria's graphiucs to Minecraft... and I love 2D. I also think Minecraft is super slow. And I also think that other than it being a mining and crafting game and zombies coming out at night.... there's not too much similar.
Also it seems to me that there's a LOT more you can do in Terraria. And the combat is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Minecraft.

I loved Terraria and eagerly awaited the release of Starbound. Starbound was made by a bunch of the crew that worked on Terraria and it was much like Terraria when it was in early release. I really liked Crea too; it has an interesting crafting system and your character levels up.

After beating the wall of flesh and then leveling up my gear I got to a point where I was tired of being gored by unicorns. Having multiple Light disks is awesome!

Yeah, pretty much got tired of being curb stomped by the metal versions of C'thulu, the World Eater, and that damn Skeleton!
