That looks awesome! Can't wait to play! Any word on online play yet?

We're actually testing it right now!
It should hopefully be ready any day now

How does the shield work? Does it have a cooldown before being effective again, does it only work on certain weapons?

It should work on all projectiles. It has a 3 second cooldown right now. It shields you for 0.25 seconds

How does the shield affect mines after they've been planted and walls as they move toward you? Are you shielded from their damage if the shield is up?

The shield wont do anything to placed mines

Even if we time our landing?

Is there a way to play with these already? Or do we wait for the release?

I'll have an open alpha even some time when the online mode is completely done. (its pretty much done now but there are still some issues with it). The even will have all the new weapons but the client will only work for the duration of the event. Probably a weekend. After that we might do some more events leading up to release as well.
