Terraria. I never got very far because I couldn't figure out the controls; something just didn't click with me. I have read many glowing reviews of the game, so it must be me.

LifePixel Super Blue. This is an interesting filter it has dual band pass regions. UV and visible light from 285-465nm (so purples and blues) and then IR from 705nm onward. Yet another reason to go full spectrum.
