About Kobold Delvers
About Kobold Delvers
Kobold Delvers is a 2D puzzle game about guiding small kobolds through dangerous underground caves using a wide variety of simulated materials.Dig, place, burn, freeze, melt and combine materials to create safe paths, solve environmental puzzles and help every kobold reach the exit.Guide the kobolds
Your goal is simple: get the kobolds to safety. They will walk through the level on their own, so you must prepare the cave before it is too late. Shape the terrain, redirect hazards and use the available materials carefully to keep them alive.Experiment with reactive materials
Each level gives you a limited budget of materials. Sand falls, water flows, wood burns, lava melts, vines grow, ice freezes, dynamite explodes and many other materials interact with each other in different ways.Understanding how these materials behave is the key to solving each puzzle.Plan, test and adapt
There is rarely only one way to solve a level. You can pause the simulation, inspect the cave, place materials and watch your plan unfold. If something goes wrong, restart and try a different approach.Features
- 2D puzzle gameplay based on simulated materials.
- Hand-crafted levels with environmental challenges.
- Reactive systems involving sand, water, fire, lava, ice, wood, vines, dynamite and more.
- A sandbox mode for experimenting freely with materials.
- Compact cave-based puzzles focused on logic, planning and experimentation.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate this puzzle game's charming concept and polished presentation, particularly praising its exploration-based mechanics where figuring things out yourself is part of the fun. Common complaints center on overly restrictive resource budgets that force tedious pixel-by-pixel building, kobolds dying too quickly at level starts, and a relatively short content length with level design that doesn't fully exploit the available mechanics.
Great concept, but needs a little more time in the oven. Most levels start with the kobolds dying almost immediately, forcing me to pause at the start of every level. The budget is a little too strict, forcing me to manually place single dots to build paths. There are lots of different materials but the level design doesn't take full advantage of the mechanics. I wish there were more levels and levels that didn't have such trivial yet mechanically frustrating solutions.1 found this helpful
Absolutely wonderful game, so worth the time to 100% it.
A very fun little lemmings-like. nothing mind blowing, but it has some fun little interactions and physics. The kobolds sometimes get stuck inside things or in falling animations, but overall everything works as it should. Very nice for a student project, and something I would gladly pay a few bucks for with a few tweaks and/or more levels and/or the ability to easily import community levels (and a community actively making them)
I would recommend this if it weren't for the fact that several levels are just completely impossible since the start and end locations spawn outside of the bounds of the level.
Kobold Delvers is a small dungeon-crawling adventure game that focuses on exploration, combat, and collecting loot. You take control of kobold characters as they venture into dangerous areas, fight enemies, discover treasures, and try to survive deeper runs. It is a simple concept, but it has the charm of classic dungeon games. The biggest strength of Kobold Delvers is its atmosphere and theme. Using kobolds as the main characters gives the game a different feel from the usual fantasy adventures where you play as heroes, knights, or powerful warriors. The idea of small creatures exploring dangerous dungeons gives it a fun underdog feeling. The gameplay is easy to understand. You explore areas, battle enemies, collect items, and improve your characters. The progression system gives you a reason to keep playing, as finding better equipment and becoming stronger makes later challenges more manageable. The dungeon-crawling elements are enjoyable, especially for players who like slower games focused on exploration and preparation. Choosing when to fight, when to explore further, and how to manage your resources adds some strategy to the experience. However, the game is held back by …
why the actual ♥♥♥♥ is this so unoptimized just the main menu has the mouse chugging bro what the actual hell do you have running in the background a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bitcoin miner? good game insanely horrible optimization there are games significantly bigger and deeper with better optimization even other particle sandbox games have better optimization i get this is free and all but JESUS CHRIST. its playable yeah and with a good PC you wont even be able to tell theres issues but this ♥♥♥♥ is actually criminally unoptimized and needs way more time in the oven in that Disrespect. if this game didnt run like Hellen Keller on Lean (use code GROUP to get 10% off LEAN at GamerSupps) it would be a solid 8/10 game but in the little bit i played its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bro.
