How it feels

Managing a group of cartoony dwarves with unique abilities in real-time tactical puzzles feels like a retro, challenging test of multitasking and strategy.

What players say

Players compare it unfavorably to Lemmings, calling it a poor imitation with clunky, unresponsive controls that make precision frustrating. Many report the game crashes, especially on Windows 10, with one final mission crashing consistently. Reviews split on whether the art and humor are charming or crude, but most agree the game is tedious rather than fun.
