Very cool old game, there's a lot of fun to have here. Dig all the riches of the land, but being dwarfs, they are always drunk, making mistakes like flooding the mines, either with water or lava or (redacted). Real time action management, like I said very cool old game.

Pretty good casual strategy game. You have your dwarfs, which mostly go about their business digging holes and mining gold on their own, but you can give them directions at a small cost. You need to mine as much as you can while still using your various tools to protect your dwarfs. However, you must use your tools wisely, as they cost you valuable gold. Also features voice acting by Simon from Yogscast, of "Diggy Diggy Hole" fame. It reminds me somewhat of Lemmings. As in that game, your dwarfs are autonomous and you have a limited ability to help them and keep at least most of them alive. It also reminds me a little bit of Dwarf Fortress, in that you take the position of Overseer and watch over your largely independent dwarfs and try your best to deal with disasters as they occur. Although this game is fully 2D, and is pretty much infinitely simpler in every way. You might call this a Dwarf Fortress equivalent for kids. There are some very tame alcohol references and a bit of quite mild cartoon violence. I consider this game appropriate for kids, if that is what you are looking for. Acing the challenges can be a little tricky but overall the game is pretty easy by real-time strategy standards. On the technical side, the game has Windows, Mac, and Linux versions. The Linux version crashes occasionally and is known to have some compatibility issues with certain operating systems but it worked fine for me on MX Linux 25, other than the aforementioned crashes. The Windows version does not work on Proton, as that version requires the Windows Speech API for some reason. Not a bad way to spend a couple hours.

Little Nostalgia Game for Yogscast Watchers. Takes only a few hours to 100% if you're into that.

I only want to play this just to get an achievement for Killing Floor 1 to get new weapon but ends up playing this game for hours.

Dwarfs!?... In my opinion a legendary game from my childhood. Back when the Yoggscast used to be relevant. But nowadays this game sits as a fun little piece of history. With an interesting gameplay hook and loop, the game will seriously sink its claws into you and not let go. If you ever have a couple of spare dollars its definitely worth it. I seem to always come back to this game to play rounds of 30 minutes to an hour.
