For the first time ever, you will be able to play Survival mode on mobile devices. The update adds new blocks such as doors, fences, and gates, and tools for various purposes including digging, attacking and shearing.

There will be a bit more violence (which is always fun as long as it’s just in the game, right?) via the introduction of mobs. The first creatures to arrive are sheep and zombies, and you can expect more for the future. You can flee to safety or fight the zombies and hunting for food is also there.

There will also be day and night in Survival mode with the monsters coming at night, and you can also gather resources from nature. But those who want to stick to the Creative mode also have something to cheer about. You will now be able to fly.

The update for Android devices is currently available for download at Android Market. It’s free if you bought the game earlier, otherwise you will have to shell out $6.99. But you can always check out the demo version if you are willing to sacrifice a few things. As for the iOS version, the update is ready to go too but is awaiting the green light from Apple.

Since its release in 2009, the game has taken the world by surprise although it’s still in development. Players pay to play the beta version of the game that transports you in a world where you can build everything to your heart’s desire.

The game was released for the Sony Ericsson XPeria Play smartphone in August and now has finally been released for all Android phones. The price you have to pay to make your own world is $6.69 on the Android Market. In case you want to try it out first, you can also get a free trial. You can experience the game for a while, but you can’t save your sessions, which could get frustrating.

You can buy the game on Android Market and it’s received wonderful reviews so far as well as a 4.5 rating out of 5.
