Cheap and simple FPS where you die a lot but also gain gold to upgrade your weapons and buy new toys to kill (?) skeleton boys who just wanna give you a good scary spooky time as skeleboys are to do. Repetitive but the loop works way better then I was expecting, definitely a good wind down game if you want to relax your brain by working at something that requires no thought.
As many others I was introduced to this by good ol' Uncle J. Graphics and sounds are not over the top or anything, but it's fine. Gameplay-wise, it's got an arcade flair to it. It's pretty addicting : You're thrown into a pit on some planet far from home. Your mission is to satisfy your greed for gold, your trusty digger sticks around and searches for what shall become yours. Meanwhile, some skeletons are flooding the arena. As time passes more skeletons in many shapes appear, making it progressively difficult. You can collect more gold, each time you get a bonus. But don't forget to drop it to your ship - one hit and your pockets are back to zero content. With that gold you can upgrade your weaponry to further support your search for more gold. Absolutely recommending this!

A great casual shooty game that you can fit within a few minutes of your time. Excellent music, frustrating when you die while you have a decent sum of cash on you but ultimately a great game that makes you want to come back for more. Would benefit from less of a 'floaty' feel when strafing.
Fun, challenging, and runs on my laptop. One of the best budget titles on Steam, imho.
A funny game, you have to shoot skeletons, follow a robot who digs for gold, collect gold, buy things Driving music Cool first-person shooter menu You can control settings by shooting in buttons Titles with authors on a board There's a board with control drawings. Board with statistics, a musical device (you can turn of music on it) Exit door . Controls: WASD Space R to reload Q change weapon Lmb shoot, RMB grenade Z to begin new expedition . Mechanics and features: Come into a hole to start the game Skeletons have destroable parts, you can shoot off the head and arms Come to bean to send gold on the ship There's not auto reload, you should always reload weapon When a sceleton touch you die Gold skeleton are dropping gold Black sceletons are moving faster Big skull flying after you Big sphere rolling on a level and killing you You can buy machine gun, shotgun, Rocket launcher and grenade Skeleton are dying after your death
I have no idea where all the positive reviews are coming from or what game they played because this is pretty terrible and frustrating. Barely any options at all and the mouse aiming and acceleration is TERRIBLE for this sort of the game. Enemy design is pretty low effort and repetitive. Game spawns WAY too many enemies way too fast to be able to make decent progress, upgrades take AGES to unlock because you can only get 5-10 gold at a time before the games fast moving enemies spawn and kill you. The game has no way to build armor/shield and no way to sprint so many rounds will end for BS reasons. If you enjoy being frustrated and dying over and over for 90 second periods bored to tears hoping something else happens it doesn't this is a low effort piece of crap and a frustrating waste of time, could have been decent if the difficulty was tweaked down and more creative. Only 1 boring dark map and 4 crappy barely effective weapons. Hard pass.
This game is very hard on first hand and very addictive on the second. The hardiness is based on: - You can see sheet. - If your opponents (mobs) touch you (once) - you die. - If you die you restart your game pressing "z" in your ship. You need to fall into crater EVERY TIME. Dunno why. - You will be very lucky to get above 3:00 minutes. - Huh you think its based only on skeletons? No. They are flying skulls (3 types actually - once normal speed [yellow color], faster evil [red color], boom kaboom one [green color]. Its exact same on skeletons (they can kaboom too or be faster than others) except yellow ones - can drop you some gold. Another mob is some Skull Ball. Ball which hunt you down. You must shoot them in the exact spot to destroy them. In the exact same moment there will be about 25 skeletons around you + fyling skulls. Why I hate this game: Remember - if they touch you - you should try again - huh? Thats called a fun. In some places. But not my kind of taste. Yes, its very hard, addictive nonsense. First of all the controls - why your "astronaut" walking like its on iced cube? You can upgrade your weapons. Which is really not that powerfull upgrade. Its helpful upgrade. Why you cant upgrade astronaut suit? By some shield or upgrades like light. You can travel to crater with your ship - but cant even get some light device to your astronauts suit or weapons? Weapons are pretty boring. I really dont like this game at all. Sorry. Its waste of time
This game lacks a bit of polish, and the grind to unlock everything during the first few hours is a bit tedious, but otherwise it's an amazing arcade-style 3D arena shooter with excellent sound, graphics and enemy design. This game is very addicting for all the good reasons, and while each game only lasts a few minutes, you're constantly motivated to improve your skills. If you're looking for a deceptively-simple high-difficulty twitch challenge, you probably can't get anything better for your money.
Someone's been dumping toxic waste on the moon, so naturally, there's a huge skeleton problem. Thing is the dang moon's also filled with gold and we need that gold! Will you heed the call, deal with these dang skels and claim the gold?
Got this as a Birthday gift among other things. This game is super cool and I played it till i maxed out the weapons. I had alot of fun playin it, but once its done , its done. I wish there was level progression going deeper into the crater with newer enemies. Or maybe a badge / prestige system like COD to reset weapons and keep going till the highest badge is earned. Just something more to strive for. For the cost though, this game is hella fun. Just needs a little more.
