Amazing Minecraft Mod Is Like Splatoon for Your PC

Splatoon is a wonderful spin on the multiplayer genre, but you're not going to be able to play the Nintendo exclusive unless you have a Wii U. This Minecraft mod, however, is a pretty impressive imitation you can play on your PC.

Created by Minecraft Modder Sethbling (via Polygon), it follows Splatoon's formula closely. Two teams of four players enter an arena and must paint as much of it as they can with their team's color using a variety of ink-based weapons.

Just like Splatoon, the mod also lets players turn into squids on top of their team color to recharge their weapon and travel faster.

Splatoon launched exclusively for Wii U on May 28. For more, check out GameSpot's review, which gave it a great score of 8/10 for proving that shooters don't have to be violent to be engaging.
