How it feels

A tense, strategic defense game where you dig and build rooms in a pixelated mountain to fend off waves of human invaders.

What players say

Players describe it as a tiny Dungeon Keeper tribute with a tower defense twist. The challenge comes from constant micromanagement: trogs stop working unless you drag them around, and enemies can spawn right at the orb. Players split on whether the awkward AI is part of the fun or a flaw, and some note heavy lag late in runs.
