The Xbox 360 had a unique marketplace for indie games and their developers. This indie store tended to contain various clones of other popular titles of the time. Such as Call of Duty and of course Minecraft. There was one specific indie game, despite being a Minecraft clone, that managed to set itself apart and become the top seller on the 360. This was CastleMiner Z.
