You can bop enemies, which will refill your ever-draining health bar. Each character will have special abilities to help take on the foes ahead of them, which you'll need as you'll have to work ever more efficiently to stay alive.

I'm also impressed by the visuals, which manage to combine voxels with some well-done effects in a 3D world, to make the game look like it's a low-resolution pixel art game, with signs of just that art throughout the experience.
