Trove [official site] smooshes together ideas from Minecraft and MMOs to create a colourful, frenetic, particle-effect-explosion of a game. That might be your thing or it might make you need to have a lie down, as it did ol’ man Meer. If you’re the former group: good news!

It’s free to play, available from its site.
