PvP based game with two teams, three classes Archer, Knight and Builder, build tower castle and defend it.
It's an alpha game so there is some bugs and very often updates.
This game is awesome!

This game is a duplo clone. You build stuff out of blocks.

That's supposed to be a secret.

too much brown everywhere.
skin is brown, dirt is brown, dirt with stones is brown with splats of grey, dirt with gold is brown, wood is brown, ladders are brown, catapults are brown, underground background is brown. Wouldn't be a problem if everything weren't the same shade of brown. (especially gold/dirt/skin)

It is possible to change class in enemy's base. Destroying castle wall previously with dirt as background replaces dirt bg with sky bg.

mattock/2xswords/third thing gfx are too big f**king huge.
The square surrounding selections doesn't always appear when it should -> if something can be destroyed and the cursor is in place, the selection square should always be visible.

You are serious?

EDIT: f**k this s**t, when I first played the game I said "It Michal that made this game" because of hits and "F11 / F12" to kick, because when you jumb on slope your chara is boosted like on soldat but I was kiding, then I saw on the youtube channel of the game that the game was Polish...

I did some research and it seems that Michal really made this game...

nice find

[L[0ne]R]

Not a big fan of MM himself, but I have to admit, this game even in its current state is fun, well thought-through, pretty bugless and *drumroll* it's FREE (!!!). For now, at least...

At first I went "great, now someone tries to make a Terraria clone too", but after actually playing it I have to say that it feels a lot different from Terraria. Combat is less of a button masher and more tactical and slower-paced. Visual style is also more different in-game than it seems on the screenshots. IMHO the whole PvP thing didn't work too well in Ace of Spades because of how large maps were (and all that in 3D..) but in KAG it works a bit better.

Controls are a bit iffy and it gets difficult to move around the map late-game, but still, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to it and hoping that it won't suffer the same fate as Soldat (and Link-Dead).

Indeed a nice find. This could cure me from my LoL-addiction

I remember this game being mentioned on a forum before, and a dubious source claimed that it came before Terraria. However, a quick google search confirmed that it indeed was in development before Terraria. That isn't very relevant though, because Minecraft has clearly influenced it as well.

This game is fun.

Yeah or Ace of Spades, but Minecraft was there before Ace of Spades, but Infiniminer was there before Minecraft, ect ect...

I found it's the best tactic to start as a builder, cut some trees so you can build a lot of ladders and start digging your way to hell while zoomed out. As soon as I find gold, I ping for my team and build ladders so you can get out of the mine and grab the gold with my team. Alternatively, I would try to build a tunnel into the enemy's base so I can steal their gold without the need to play other classes who would need to get through hordes of enemies.

It is interesting how there are so many tactics involved in such a small and minimalistic game. But I think that builders are overpowered right now, but they are not really nerfable either. I think archers and knights should receive a buff in health or receive new abilities.

[Mokkun]

Knights are OP; they have a sword for melee, infinite shield that can be placed up left and right and bombs that can be placed on them but only hit enemies or can be throw away and one shot enemies... Archers have... A Bow...

[Blacksheepboy]

Haha, don't archers have melee attack with right click?

[Mokkun]

No melee attack it's just to destroy dirt :/
