Looks great, but I didn't see the connection with theme. You started with TEAM, it's not NOTHING...

Cool mechanics. I got stuck inside the rocks when the first enemy attacked me.

I like the particle effect when the space ship lands. It was more fun for me to just ignore the minerals and explore the world. It seems like the planet is pretty large!

This is a really cool idea and I had fun playing it :)

Few points of feedback:
- The hit logic seems a little off, whenever I would swing at an enemy, I noticed certain hits didn't register.
- I would be nice to be able to hold the CTRL button to continuously swing.
- When I played this on Mac, the combo of CTRL + arrows swapped the workspace on my screen.
- I think representing health by a other people crowds the screen too much.

Cool and fun game, but the respawn mechanics are really bad. On the first try I was stuck in the ground too. And I died multiple times while respawning in the same deadly space again and again.

Nice artwork and expansive map to explore. I stopped bothering to mine after a while. There didn't seem to be much incentive to do so and exploring was more fun.
I also encountered the stuck inside the walls bug, and half the team being wiped out in an instant issues mentioned above.

Cool art and feel to the game. I think that the monsters hiding in the caves were a little unfair though :angry: :smile: ! I lost whole good round with a lot of cash because of them! It's a neat game with cool potential.

Fun and cute little game, though I found it a bit harsh and unforgiving at times. Other than that I think you guys did a great job.

Decent entry and interesting concept, but I think it also would have been better if the enemies also dropped loot. What probably would make this game more fun if there was a knockback for the player/enemies and a jetpack mechanic.

Very nice game. Very atmospheric with matching music. And it looks quite nice.
