you can make a top down map and then change the background to something like grass.
for the hostile mobs you can use sentries and then when u beat the last sentry it activates a teleporter that teleports u to a place where you can do more stuff i guess. idk figure smth out.
u can also use crafting tables to make more stuff that u can use in the game.

make a black barrier thats slightly translucent (0.7 opacity) with no collision and then put it over the whole map for a shadowy dark look. ↩︎
