Already this tiny, shittily-graphics'ed indie game has already developed a rich playerbase and strategies. Hell, I just watched a bunch of dudes MURDER AN ENTIRE MOUNTAIN for the hell of it.
You are equipped with:
1. A trench-digging shovel, that clears the block you aim it at, and the blocks above and below it, digging a perfectly-sized trench. Returns no usable blocks. Also good for making tunnels, and destroying enemy decoys.
2. A Mining Pick, which removes the block you are using it on and adds it to your inventory.
3. Placeable Colorable Blocks. You spawn with 25, and can carry up to 100. Color them however you like - right-click to match the block color you are looking at on the terrain to camoflague and blend in, or perhaps scrawl some graffiti that insults the other team, signify important areas on the map, or populate a hillside with Blue- or Green- colored decoys to irritate your opponents!
4. A semiautomatic rifle; 10 rounds clip. Reload time is significant, but while she's loaded, every click of the mouse is a bullet, and headshots do more damage. Right-click for iron-sights!
5. Two Grenades. You have a fairly pitiful throw-distance, but they pack a hell of a punch, and they destroy a couple nearby blocks when they go off. Sometimes, the right tool for the job.
