Platform(s): Android mobile
Genre: First-person, 3D sandbox/adventure game
Estimated year of release: Unknown. I played it sometime during my childhood, but I can't remember when. Could be from the 2010s or later.
Graphics/art style: Almost identical to Minecraft. Blocky 3D graphics, first-person perspective. The graphics were better than Block Story, which I've already checked.
Notable characters: Santa Claus (or a character I remember as Santa), villagers, zombies, and creatures that I remember as Endermen.
Notable gameplay mechanics:
- Riding a pig using a carrot on a stick.
- Exploring areas and receiving missions from NPCs.
- Fighting enemies.
- Riding a boat with a villager or another NPC to reach a town.
- Riding a minecart on tracks that were already built.
- Possibly jumping across lava.
Other details:
I'm trying to find an Android game I played years ago, and I've been searching for it for a long time.
I remember the game seeming to start in a Christmas-themed or snowy area, although I'm not completely sure.
I remember finding a house with Santa inside. I think he told me to kill zombies in the backyard, and I remember actually fighting them there.
Later, I remember riding a boat with a villager or another NPC to a town. The town was no longer snowy or Christmas-themed; it looked like a normal village. I remember encountering Endermen or something very similar, and I think the NPC told me to fight them.
There was also a minecart section with tracks that were already built. I vaguely remember a part involving lava that you had to jump across, but I'm not certain about that memory.
I also vaguely remember seeing some Asian-looking text, possibly Chinese, somewhere in the game. I'm not sure if it was on the main menu, in-game, or part of the developer's branding.
Important: This was a separate mobile game, NOT Minecraft itself and NOT Block Story. I already checked Block Story and some other suggested games, and they weren't it.
I found another Reddit post describing a Minecraft clone with a winter area, Santa, and a seaside village. That person's description sounded very similar to my memories, but the gameplay video suggested in that discussion was NOT the game I'm looking for.
Does anyone remember a Minecraft-like Android game with this kind of adventure or quest sequence? Even an old screenshot, app icon, Chinese title, or archived gameplay video would be helpful. I'm starting to wonder if it was removed from the Play Store.
