I find this game very nice and attractive too. It's great.

Right, how could I forget that! >:( My solution to that problem was building a bridge over the water, haha. It was kinda interesting as well (this way you would be forced to defend builders as a team while they build passage trough). Option to have lava instead of sea to make that possible maybe? :)

Take your time and when you get fixed version out I'll try more with my friends

Hi Thanks for testing! In the water you have to do the famous crouch jump (as explained by Gina from Half-life). You jump first and then crouch to raise your legs... This allows you to jump over 2 blocks at a time (in water for example)

The restrictions on building/mining the ground level has to do with the way the engine compiles the vxl map... but I guess also in a design sense I wanted to make the rivers a bit of an obstacle you might want to build over.

Also note the master server is down :( I have to fix some network issues on my end but I will hopefully it'll be back up tonight with an improved server/client for the testers :)

Hello!

I've tried your game now and it seems very nice and attractive and I wish I could find 32 people to play with in this moment :)

Anyway, the only thing bothered me so far was water. Why can't I jump out of it or destroy blocks next to it? I had to do suecide everytime I fell into that water.
