Minecraft lookalike Survivalcraft in construction for Windows Phone

So you’ve heard about Minecraft - Pocket Edition and you want to play it - but you can’t because you’ve got a Windows Phone and not an Android device. Fear not, because Survivalcraft, a soon-to-be-released indie build-'em-up, might be coming to the rescue.

Survivalcraft looks like a fairly barebones affair, with all the things you’d expect from a 3D build-'em-up. Its graphical interface is nearly identical to Minecraft's, as is its basic mining and crafting gameplay.

Whether any unique features will be included is unclear as developer Rufus seemingly keeps his cards close to his chest, although he has mentioned the possibility of multiplayer support sometime in the future.

You can check out a video featuring Game play footage here. Survivalcraft will be available for Windows Phones via the Windows Phone Marketplace some time in the not-too-distant future.
