I've got it and play it a bit, but it's a bit hard to get into. You have to effectively Strip-mine large areas before you can find some types of material - so for your first few hours of the game you'll be looking at a lot of large pixellated grey blobs until you have enough material to build something useful.
There are also monsters in the game that spawn at night (or anywhere in the darkness). This means that the start of the game is a race for you to find Coal which you can turn into torches to keep them at bay (you have no hope in hell at fighting them - it doesn't help that the collision detection's not great).
I'm personally waiting for the Multiplayer to be released normally; so I can mine with someone else, and cut the startup time of the game in half. The building aspect is much more fun, if difficult to get the hang of.
