MinerUs was a month long project made by a team of 3. My role was lead game designer.

MinerUs is a co-op sandbox and base building game. In the game, you and your friend excavate a cave and build rails to move your mine cart base to the proper location while also expanding it to suit your needs.

MinerUs is a cooperative, top-down, pixel-art game about two miners who are stuck in a mine. In order to stay alive and get out of the mine, the miners need to dig into the mountain.
While one digs, the other builds structures to prevent the mine from collapsing. They can also craft to improve their tools and avoid and overcome obstacles. All the while they have to stay alive, eating, drinking, and healing themselves if they get hurt.
Digging, building and crafting
What do you do in a mine? Dig! Dig to your heart’s content and loot all the materials you see, use them to build and craft.
Mine carts
Drive your mine carts through the caves and expand them to fit your needs
Collapses!
Build structures to make sure the mines don’t collapse on you or your buddy, and make sure to save them quickly if they are trapped
This mechanic was not implemented due to time constraints
Care for your needs
