A: Manyland was a pixel art sandbox game, in which players could create their own characters, blocks, and even scripts to some extent. Notice I say "was," as Manyland's servers were shut down in February of 2024 due to budget issues.

Luckily, the community made some tools to backup Manyland's areas before the game was shut down. If you stick around, I will tell you how you can play some of the areas I made.

This shrine will be less about the history of Manyland and more about my personal experience with the game.

A: Manyland is divided up into player-made worlds called "areas," where players can explore and collect creations of other players, or create and place their own creations if they can edit there.

There were surprisingly few limits in Manyland, you could make areas as big as you wanted, and create/collect as many items as you wanted.

One of my favorite things about Manyland was the fact that if you saw something you liked, you could "collect" it and use a copy of that object in your own worlds. It was really fun to scour areas for new blocks to use!
