Murder Miners (2014)
Murder Miners is the #1 rated Xbox Live Indie Game. Community playdates are still hosted. We're working on the sequel, Murder Miners X. Please add it to your wishlist. Halo-inspired core gameplay 3-shot-kill pistol included, with new additions such as wall-jumping, unlimited sprint, multi-directional dashing, and alt-fire modes. Options let you choose your weapons when spawning, or have weapons as map pickups for classic arena shooter style gameplay. Unique Infection mode One player starts as a zombie with the goal of infecting the other players until they've all turned over to the zombie army. The humans can use the Minergun to build forts, while the zombies can dig through walls and use their tentacle grab to reach higher places or pull players toward them. Unique to our game is the ability to feast on player corpses to level up your zombie. You can play this mode with up to 30 players. We'll usually have a full 30 player lobby in our weekly JForce play date. Come join us! It's a very intense experience when you're the last man standing and you have a whole swarm of player-controlled zombies coming after you. Online co-op map making + completely destructible maps The Minergun makes map-creation easy and fun. Almost every popular map you can think of has been remade by our community, and you can share them via Steam Workshop.
