## About Murder Miners

Murder Miners is a low-priced indie arena shooter from 2014 featuring voxel visuals and fast, agile movement mechanics. Developed by JForce Games, the game supports both local split-screen play for up to four players and online cooperative modes. Players engage in arena combat with destructible environments, vehicles, hookshots, and weapon pickups, while an infection mode lets participants play as zombies and level up their undead abilities. Reviewers highlight the simple visual presentation combined with mechanical depth and community-driven creativity through a built-in level editor, noting that tactical positioning matters in multiplayer chaos. The game maintains an active community with weekly hosted playdates and runs verified on Steam Deck.
