‘Terraria’ Multiplayer Update Hits, Too Bad It’s Local Only

TouchArcade Rating:

We absolutely loved Terraria when we reviewed it, but a notable omission from the game compared to Junk Jack X which was released on the same day was any kind of multiplayer. Well, a recent update just landed that adds four player multiplayer complete with the ability to either cooperate together or engage in massive PvP duels.

Sadly, the multiplayer mode included is only local WiFi multiplayer, but, hey, it’s a start and a totally welcome addition. I’m not lucky enough to have anyone nearby that wants to play Terraria with me to test it out… But, in true forever alone style I was able to get it cookin’ between my iPhone and iPad without issue. Definitely give it a shot if you’ve got friends looking to play locally.

      Unity was the one which was planning to add the ability for developers to use an iPhone's unused memory without the users knowledge, correct? Does this update implement that system, and is there any way to monitor how much memory a given app is using so we can at least guess at what apps are eating up excess memory (and battery) unnecessarily?

      Brilliant. I like unity. I've been messing around with it for a bit. I like 2d games though and you had to play around before. You know out the camera a certain way etc etc. Well I'm hella interested in checkin out the newest update if it's all 2d.....

      Holy sh**. A new mono develop? 2D stuff is cool but a new mono integrated into a release is almost unheard of.
