36 of 36 · most liked firstThis is a really likeable tactical puzzle game with oldschool taste which feels like the mix of Lemmings and Commandos. Here're some reasons why you would like it (without particular order): 1. Art is simple, but very nice and with great attention to details, and quite a lot of them make you smile. 2. Rules and controls are very easy to learn, you do not really question how to play the game, you just play. 3. Levels are well-thought and each built around its own idea. There's no complexity for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks like it should be good. It has nice art, all right characters, is an interesting combination of puzzle and platformer... but the game just isn't fun to play. Finding the solution to a level is easy enough, but getting the clunky controls to actually do what you want them to do causes you to die repeatedly. Clicking buttons on the right time; timing your movements to coincide with the monsters' movements (which is quite hard since there is no "wait" button, just "move" or "move…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very amateur unpleasant experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me get one thing straight: I don't downvote this game because of the crude graphics. While they're far from pleasant (and the sounds are average at best), I've recommended worse. These get the job done. And the interactive story telling is even relatively good. No, the main reason I downvote is one I'm surprised isn't mentioned more often: the game tends to react slowly or not at all to your reactions. At first I thought I misclicked or something, but it's worse: assign a task when your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice realtime puzzle game inspired by Lemmings. Nice art, nice humor. I'm not a big fan of puzzle games, but this one I really like and recommend. There is one drawback though: at first it's a bit slow (really needs some time warp), but later it requires even too much reaction when puzzles become more difficult and involve several dwaflings. But anyway, it's worth the money, give it a try!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, this game is broken in the current moment, it randomly crashes from time to time and I wasn't able to finish it - it crashes ALWAYS at the same moment in one of the final missions. But let's assume this is not a broken game. This is some variation about old game Lemmins with it's own ideas. So it's mix of logic, timing and little of dexterity. But is it good as Lemming? Absolutely not. I remember playing Lemmings and that was pure fun. And playing Dwarflings was mix of frustration…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor man's Lemmings.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good, but not Fallout 4 good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dwarflings A platformer which requires one basic thing. Common sense. Rush yourself through the mines to escape the orcs! 7/10 Story You are a Miner who mines ore for the Orcs. Your goal is to find your friend Figli and both escape from the Orc mines. With the help of friends you find the way to escape by your own, no instructions given except from the tutorial level Pros about the game. +Low spec, can run on a 250$ rig with everything on full quality. +Challeging, as I said above…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dwarflings is yet another of several hundred, if not thousands of garbage low effort endless runners plaguing Steam. Admittedly there's a simple twist to this one, but it still amounts to the same thing. Like all endless/autorunners, you're moving and you can't stop. All you can do is avoid the obstacles coming at you in this incredibly shallow shovelware game. The big difference is you can tap on your iPhone screen to change between runner "modes" (mining or running faster). You need to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for about 20mins and it crashed about 12 times. Dev said the win10 issues would be fix real soon...back in jan 2018.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice-looking puzzle game. Character scripts have occasional errors, which doesn't make the game less fun to play. Also, it took me a while to get an understanding of what height is deadly for the dwarf to jump down from.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, Lemmings, but worse. Controls are too awkward, somewhat clunky and occasionally unresponsive. This is one of those, "try not to get frustrated by the game's weaknesses," kinda games. There are things you will want to do and not know how to. And then you must start again from the start.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dwarflings is an almost good game. It has a decent, maybe a little crude artstyle, funny characters and the music and sounds are okay. It's actually fun, but the controls are clunky and not as responsive as they should be. Platformers must have good responsive controls! Granted, all you use is a mouse, but dang, get it that one button right for goodness sake! Bad controls are not challenging, they are annoying. Not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this, it is a terrible excuse for a game. It says it is "Lemmings meets Lost Vikings" but both of those were clever, well thought-out games that were fun - this is definitely not. Add in the covert in-app purchases and I think you have the measure of its design. In short, you click one of a few icons to get the dwarf you are controlling to do something. The game has no charm, subtlety or depth. I am fairly sure that very few people continued far in, judging by the % ratings on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it, but I really hard though. Can recommend it if you like to replay each level =)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny and colorful game. The game draw inspiration from the Lemmings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, this game is awesome! classic gameplay, modern look, and Starwinds own personal style. The comedy is perfect too, Can't wait to see more of what they can do with this project. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this in 2020 and didn't progress past level one.The reason is simple , as like other people's copies it crashes, with very few appearing to have a working version. It's a pity as other games from this company are fine, but despite promises , they have failed to make any adaptations. There were reports of problems, years before my purchase, so it pays to check reviews before you buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a Bad Game + fun! actually fun + colorful and good dialogues + OK music - stupid controls issue that make you quit game at some levels - Tired of music and game after a while
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dwarflings is fine. My problem is, I have a question for Steam about one of their other games, Hoyle Card Games, that has a terrible reputation in the testimonials section, and I want to ask Steam if they are intending to include a newer or older version that is more popular than the one currently on offer. However, for the life of me, I cannot see how I can contact any live human being at Steam or Valve. If I can't ask simple questions, I will be giving them the big elbow and finding a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hard but fun little platformer. Enjoyed playing it, even though I got frustrated very often. Here is my Indie Impressions video for it: https://youtu.be/bd0Utbk_2Lk
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is HARDCORE!!! Seriously, really not easy to control all the characters so i think anyone up for a good challenge must absolutely try this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice, funny game! Worth spending of several evening hours. Simple and pleasant art style, funny dialogs and smart-built levels make it worth the price. The game rapidly becomes difficult after the first couple of levels.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got my ass kicked, it was awesome
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lemmings meets Lost Vikings. Thats like spaghetti with vanilla sauce. Tastes great! If you don't mind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the original Lemmings game from back in the early 90's, I thought this would be similar. Its not. I found this game fairly simple, yet boring and tedious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mobile quiz non sense game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game in a random indie bundle a few years ago, it seems to have frequent crashes when playing on Windows 10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a game its joke trading cards just trading cards
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not fun, clunky, is this made for kids i wonder? serious question. not worth the money in my opinion.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No so bad. Not worth of full price, but I bought it in discount. It is fun, but somehow unfinished. 5,5/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →started out alright, but got old quick. at least one of the 'tutorial' replays doesn't even work (it doesn't win). there are many redeeming qualities in art and humor, but not so much in game play...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool and hard puzzle action.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzle game! Gameplay is complicated and interesting. Good graphics and funny characters.
