About Dwarflings

Lemmings meets Lost Vikings. Dwarflings is a hardcore classic which will be a challenge for the brain and fingers. In the game, you will take control of up to five characters, each one with a unique ability. The control is indirect: while dwarves are moving in real time, you control their speed and manage their abilities to help as many as possible to escape. On your road to freedom, you will meet not only hordes of enemies, but also some friendly and helpful characters.

The game is dedicated to the adventures of resilient dwarflings in miner's helmets, mashing clay in the grim corridors of the gold mine which never saw the light of the sun. The hardworking dwarves are not sitting idle. One dwarf is climbing the mountain and risking breaking into the abyss. Another has dug a pit. A third has fallen into it and cannot get out. Someone has even dropped a stone on a huge cave troll's toe! You are the one who has to watch over all this mess.

Mind boggling puzzles and indirect control over up to five unique beardies will make you suffer, cry, break your keyboard and call Mommy until and unless you finish the final level in order to stop this nightmare. Escaping an orc prison is not easy, especially if your most threatening weapon is a shovel...

✦ AI summary

Players are divided on Demmings, with some enjoying its simple mechanic of switching between mining and running modes to navigate obstacles, comparing it favorably to classic puzzle games like Lemmings and Lost Vikings. However, many criticize it as shallow shovelware with limited depth, poor technical optimization for PC, and repetitive endless-runner gameplay that feels tedious and uninspired despite its core twist.

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 switch between modes to pass through various obstacles in each level. Thats it, that's all there is to this. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps. 3D graphics programming does require a…

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.
