Murder Miners

Murder Miners was the #1 rated Xbox Live Indie Game, brought to PC with weekly community playdates still active. The core gameplay is Halo-inspired with a 3-shot-kill pistol, wall-jumping, unlimited sprint, multi-directional dashing, and alt-fire modes. Spawn-with-weapons or pickup-only options accommodate both modern loadout play and classic arena shooter style.

The unique Infection mode starts one player as a zombie tasked with infecting all others. Humans use the Minergun to build forts; zombies dig through walls and use a tentacle grab to reach high places or pull players in. The signature mechanic is feasting on player corpses to level up your zombie. Up to 30 players can join a single match, and the developers' weekly JForce playdate typically fills the full lobby for intense last-man-standing rounds.

Online co-op map making with completely destructible maps means the Minergun handles fort defense and level creation alike. Almost every popular map you can think of has been remade by the community and shared via Steam Workshop. A sequel, Murder Miners X, is in development.
