Mining sandbox adventure Core Keeper update The Desert of Beginning is live
Core Keeper is a total gem of a game and now it's much bigger, with The Desert of Beginning update out now. This is the 1-8 player game where you mine underground, collect resources, build your little base and explore. It's really great and gives a feeling somewhere between Minecraft and Terraria.

Lost in Play is all about extremely high “production values”, as the gaming journalists like to say. It’s almost an interactive cartoon (with vector based characters, as far as I can see), featuring very smooth and detailed animations. It’s a wonder to look at.
