Overall I really enjoyed it and actually played more than I thought I would.
Also, a couple of bugs, the first time I booted it up I spawned inside the wall and then every time I tried to respawn it crashed.
Cool variety of enemies and loot. Especially the Adderall, I thought that was hilarious to be found in a random chest in a random cave. Some of the loot, I don't want to say which because possible spoilers, kept me interested in going deeper and retrying.
There's an impressive variety of challenging enemies here, and the graphics are cool. I would've liked it if I could just dig a brick instantly instead of having to wait a few seconds, but I guess that prevents players from just running away from enemies.
Nice graphics, specially the particles and the lighting, very cool stuff!
But overall a really game though!
Overall an really strong entry!

Keep up the good work!
The game is pretty fun, I like the Terraria-style exploration and it's satisfying to get random upgrades in chests, it makes me want to keep going and see how powerful I can become. Lighting effects look really nice with the heightmaps, and particle effects on gun shots and enemies feel nice and juicy.
Overall it's a pretty cool entry, so good job!
