So glad Murder Miners is getting some attention after so many years. Such a fun and creative game with plenty of memories on the 360.

[@yolyrodz33]

That thumbnail was actually so nostalgic I knew I recognized it from somewhere, I miss the 360 man so many good indie games there

I felt that, too. Great memories with that, CastleMiner Z, Total Miner: Forge, etc.

Tower Unite deserves all the eyes it can get. Devs sticking with a game and community for so long and keeping it updated for nearly a decade with Zero microtransactions is quite the feat especially in the current games industry. It's a total blast.

[@itzbigcat2488]

Absolutely, great game, good fun with friends. Most of the community is super nice as well, its even got a speedrunning community with Ball Race, which I wish got more attention.

[@swerving2win]

If they ever get the workshop / player creation tools off the ground I think it will really take off. You can only play the same mini-game maps for so long before it gets old. Still love TU

Honestly saddens me that it's seen as a dead game. Last I played was back when the arcade was added. Wasn't too keen on all the ball games. Maybe I boot it up this weekend and see what I've missed.

[@bookdevourer]

Snakey Bus is a great game. I think it's better with a group. I remember watching Jacksepticeye play it with Markiplier, Bob, and Wade.

[@Cake_soup]

Yeah I was surprised for it to be a dead game

I like how you used Mark and Sean's channel names but then just said Bob and Wade

[@proudtobeme1ashkente]

The last time I watched Mark, Bob and Wade play together was some kinda prop hunt game. Wasn't even that invested in the group but it still makes me a little happy to see they still play games together to this day. Kinda a reality shock seeing how they aged though.

[@jrgalli00]

Dude I play Tower Unite so much. It is such a fun game to play with friends with fantastic workshops support, 0 micro transactions (and they promise it never will have them), incredibly fun games inside of it and just a great community. If you have a large group of friends, please, convince them all to buy it, you won't regret it

[@lucasworkman7330]

What would you classify as large? Would a group of 3 or 4 be enough to have a good time on Tower Unite?

[@jrgalli00]

@@lucasworkman7330 4 is big enough to play most of the games, however there are still plenty of arcade games you can play, an entire casino, mini golf, kart racing and a lot of other stuff if you only have 3. It's also just fun to see friends in goofy workshop outfits as well

[@SirFlooberis]

Most of the games in the video looked pretty fun actually so I doubt it was a torture gauntlet

[@NauyaIsOnline]

Tower Unite doesn't have a large playerbase but it does get a very high amount of "foot traffic" so to speak. Like a well known restaurant that tons of people visit frequently but only has a small base of regulars. I wouldn't say it's dead, and it does get updates every now and then with new content. It also is 100% a great time when you just wanna hang out with friends and shoot the shit.

[@beta804]

Yea as a someone who plays a bunch of tower unite I was surprised to see it in this, but I think that's just because I forget how small it is sometimes. The ability to interact with literally any player on the game at any given moment (aside from people in private condos) makes it feel much busier than it actually is. Not to mention that people tend to flock to each other, a couple plazas tend to fill with all the players and the same is often true for condos and some mini-games.

[@defiasremix4185]

Tower Unite is actually a goated game I’m hoping this helps revive it some since the devs are still constantly hot fixing and adding new content. Slaughter day night live is actually an addition from this fall!

[@Klewie]

Murder miners... man, I used to sweat at that game some 5-10 odd years ago when there was a fully fledged underground clan scene and everything.

[@wiimotesNremmy]

I loved Tower Unite, such an absolute blast as a game! Bummer to see it now classified as a “dead game” Edit: I think people misunderstand me, I STILL play tower unite from time to time (just not as much as I used to) and I still see it as relatively active, so I was surprised that lud would classify it as a dead game is all.

[@Redrum2445]

I think as far as communities go for games, it has survived for more than a decade and even stemmed from gmod back in the day. I would argue Lud is just using a more content oriented definition.

[@Demopugz]

It’s also just the speed at which content in the game is added, takes a while but watching the game grow and add amazing new games and content is just part of what makes the game so great

[@ktgame2640]

Never heard of it

[@ApashePelican]

Yh, I still play, I wouldn't consider it a dead game, there's servers that are almost full

[@skippylikeno]

Recently found a channel on my algorithm called Rye Games, some British guy that seems to play a lot of dead/free shooters on Steam. I like it when he runs into regulars that have been playing the game for years and has wholesome conversations with them. I think it'd make for good content, especially if you filled up a lobby in some dead af big-team war game.

Murder Miners is actually the most unexpected nostalgia i used to play that shit on the xbox 360 wtf

[@abferris]

I would like to throw a contender for games for you to try. When my company had an office, we met a small team for a game called “Squids from Space” while it took a second to get a handle on it, it is fast paced, fun, and made for 8v8 player games. It would be really cool to see that community get some love.

[@mryeetyeeterson]

Murder miners is and always will be a fantastic game

[@Ge0dude]

New Series maybe?

[@hridaymehta4179]

Gang Beasts is one of the most underrated games imo. Some of the best memories I have made on sleepovers were by playing this game on the Xbox with my friends. 4 controllers, snacks, lights off, and a bunch of beasts laughing their asses off.

Wow, Tower Unite is far from "dead". I think they have had a decently consistent player base since launch.

Tower Unite needs a little steeping until you get peak enjoyment. Devs are very active and passionate. I have literally convinced 30+ people to buy this game.

[@DrKoneko]

Snakeybus is geniunely awesome. It's one of those games that commentary youtubers would play in the background and that's how I found it. I can't believe its peak was 500 players, I thought it was way more popular.

try Space Beast Terror Fright, pretty in depth and nobody really plays it, scary too, u can see everyones point of view like split screen and when they die it goes black until its just you, or u can change the viewing w f1-f4 and i think f5 turns it off, fun in a group, has roguelite mechanics too, its kinda like Aliens, the graphics are not great but hey neither is lethal company
