Resource Islands by soerxpso
This game is a survival rpg in which your resources are spread out across 4 islands, and you have to control 4 seperate characters on each island, then teleport resources between islands using teleporters. The teleporters use a thing called arcacium to run. Also, in order to keep warm, you'll need to run a furnace by putting coal in it near each character. To use a workbench or a furnace for crafting, just stand facing it and open the crafting menu.
I didn't get as many features added as I would have liked to (food and hunger were planned but never added), so the game is a little bit incomplete. Also, currently, there is no win condition, only a lose condition. The unofficial goal is to make all 4 characters an iron hammer.
Controls:
WASD - move
Space - hit tree, stone, etc.
Space - pick up item
e - put coal in furnace (while facing furnace)
t - open/close teleporter menu (while facing teleporter)
1-4 - set teleporter destination (while in teleporter menu)
Space - move item to/from teleporter (while in teleporter menu)
Enter - activate teleporter (while in teleporter menu)
c - open/close crafting menu
Space - craft (while in crafting menu)
i - open/close inventory
Space - place/use item (while in inventory)
1-4 or q - switch between islands

If I was to give one piece of advice, it would be to speed this game up. The slow interaction and slow walk speed had a big impact on how the game felt. I imagine speeding it up would make it pretty fun.
Overall I really liked this 2D Minecraft game. The different Isles with the different ressources are a really good idea. Well done!
