How it feels

A small, unforgiving survival sandbox where you scramble to build shelter and farm before exploring dangerous procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players call it a beefed up Minicraft with solid pixel art and a top-down sandbox. It starts harder than expected, with a punishing stamina bar and red zombies that hit hard. Longtime fans note it lacks Chinese language support and has quirks like the crafting bench being a single column.
