It's a lot of fun.  Content is a little limited right now, the playable section of the island seems a bit small.  The forest is a maze and feels infinite but once you find the coast and recognize the landmarks there's not a whole lot there. 

It's still an alpha though.  Very buggy, limited content.  Worth buying?  I dunno.  It's an alpha.  Don't come into it expecting more than that and you'll have fun.

My largest wish for this game is the option to turn off the "spider" and "octopus" mutants. They kind of ruin it for me.

No one faces the cave mutants and lives to tell the tale....

Anyway yeah, they are really tough and creepy. Is it possible to kill them?

I believe the Spider Mutant is invulnerable IIRC and the Octopus can only be killed with bombs.

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

Ya I don't know, but I hear if you build a big "player fortress" the more mutated mutants will begin to attack you too, even breaking down walls. I don't mind if they stay in the caves, but it just somehow ruins the atmosphere for me.

Ok, so stay away from the mutated freaks as long as you can?

Sexless mutant cannibals have taken your child! Find them, kill them, and rescue said child* while not becoming a nice dinner.

*Likely not actually implemented yet, so just find, kill, survive
