Good
Really fun take on a TD. I won by trying to keep a balance of 5 dwarfs. Quite entertaining
Quite good, it is not entirely clear what each counter does exactly, but the game is quite fun!
Very enjoyable game. A like this a lot.
Quite interesting and enjoyable game!, but need more clear instructions what each counter describe
Nice game! My first try I just randomly built towers and dwarves (and won), and on the second try I tried making towers that controlled the flow of enemies, which turned out to be a very bad idea, as it also limited the flow of my dwarves to walking through the oncoming horde =). That one didn't go so well.
I liked sound and music, nicely sets the mood.
I really liked this game, especially the graphics, which are simple but very effective and cute. :) The concept is also simple and I thought it worked very well. I liked the music too. Great job!
I really like this a lot and think it has huge potential for expansion if you wish to. It's like a tower defense but not, because applying traditional laning techniques severely inhibits your dwarves (dwarfs?). It's a little on the easy side as you mentioned, I managed to win by placing towers randomly and then spamming dwarves once I had enough towers up. Also, I feel like the theme mechanic of angrier orcs as you get more gold could definitely be ramped up a bit as it wasn't really noticeable.
Graphics are delightfully retro and heavily evoke the aesthetics of Dwarf Fortress in tileset mode, which is a nice bonus (not sure if intentional :D). The music is also perfect, I smiled the instant the menu music started playing.
The game has huge potential for expansion with more towers, more enemies, and more dwarf types, and I would love to see this idea taken further. Good job!
Solid entry! I got to 29 gold bags, but then I lost my last dwarf and I didn't have enough money to make another one. =( One graphical comment is that the characters (especially the orcs) are a bit hard to distinguish from the background. I would have liked to either have more influence over the dwarves or have them be a bit smarter. It was frustrating when they went to gold mines far away when there was gold much closer. In general though, good work!
Very enjoyable. I can definitely see this one being developed into a bigger game. Great entry!
Really liked this game, although unfortunately it was short experience. Would be could to play more! I built more than 10 towers and completed the level, that was fun :)
Excellent game, just a shame it didn't go on longer as I was quite enjoying building the kingdom.
Not gonna lie, I enjoyed this! Maybe a little easy as I won on my third try. Was hoping to progress to another level. With randomized levels this could last a really long time. Good job!
This is a great tower defense style game, i wish it was longer, and a bit harder.
It is a really nice game. The difficulty balance is good as it is, I won on my second try (but with only one last dwarf surrounded by orcs), so it was challenging but not impossible. It is super cool to create mazes for the orcs, balancing risks between going far to construct tower or not covering enough space.
Simple but nice tower defense...
I like the old-fashioned look!
(just one problem: in fullscreen mode, I didn't see the entire map...)
