Ore Chasm by Black Ships Fill the Sky
[We didn't get as far as we would have liked to. We didn't manage to incorporate the theme in a clever way. Though we hope you can enjoy what we did make.]
A game about shooting lasers and mining ore in beautiful unspoilt mars.
With your friends! (It is multiplayer and it should be playable multiplayer online we hope...)
If it works perfectly for everyone that would be pretty miraculous. (Given how hard multiplayer is to get working during a jam).
Please be patient if it totally fucks out. We'll be fixing errors in a post Ludum version.

We'll definitely take this a bit further. Hope you get a chance to play it then!
I don't know who's the villain though. I said it was well balanced and it was, but only for one player in my opinion. My first game was with an already started multiplayer game and it was hard to upgrade my weapons when you have to go 500 meters under the ground and going back (Punk* if you're reading me). I guess you are supposed to play the game with your friends from the beginning but even though, the more players in the game the harder it becomes for everyone. That's the main disappointment for me, it's a co-op game but it's really hard to stay with your friends and there's no actual co-op mechanic.
That's nitpicking stuff for a LD but this is surely the best LD game i've played so far and would definitely play it if you are going further with it!
I don't think we succeeded on the theme myself :)
mix of couple very good games!
The only issue I had was that it became pretty much impossible to get back to the refueling station after a certain amount of blocks had been destroyed.
Planet completed (and all content)!

I personally think that Fat man (and lesser version) is better than Bass Cannon 'cos of explosion.
Fastest way to got all stuff in the game:

1. Buy 5k weapon and one or two upgrades. Very fast with the hint below.
2. Dig (one line down) from left to the selling point until you will find a pirate station
3. Gather saphirium and rubyium
4. Buy 20k weapon from the pirate station
5. Go deeper and hunt for diamondium
HINT:
At early stages don't refuel if you can buy an upgrade or a new weapon.
Buy and die. You will not loose your new stuff :)
I love you game and want to play full version)))
What I liked :
* the game feels really good and is very fun, with all the lasers, and propulsion, and explosions.
* loved the in game interface to buy stuff.
* the theme worked for me. You're just destroying the planet to get the last resources, so yeah, the players are definitively villains greedy bastards.
* the pirate cave ! so awesome the first time I found it !
* graphics and music, just well done, you know your stuff.
What I didn't like / could be improved :
* there's no ending :( I would expect to find something after the last layer.
* the first ~30 minutes or so is challenging, but after getting all upgrades/weapons the game is too easy. Maybe some monsters or something could change that.
* I would had love to keep every weapons I bought.
* the upgrades buttons would need confirmations with <space> like weapons. How many times I felt on the wrong upgrade...
* in the post LD version, me and my friend encountered the bug where we got stuck and disappeared.
* on the post LD version, if I host a game and a friend join the game, but I get disconnected or refresh the page, the host is listed with others and my friend can still continue playing but I can't join the game (didn't try on the normal version).
I really think this game has a huge potential. Fuck, I would even pay for an enhanced version with more upgrades, maybe monsters/boss, proper ending... or at least, I'm sure more players could enjoy it if you post it on web portals like Kongregate.
Long story short, I know you're busy with BroForce, but this game is super addictive and already complete on itself, it only needs some little changes to be freaking awesome !
Anyway, you got a new fan :)
which software used for server?
