Just building up is surprisingly fun though!  I love the sounds!  Although the sprites were very cute, having the gobbos walk behind buildings really detracted from the experience for me.  Even if you didn't have time to implement pathfinding, I'd have prefered them to appear on top.  I'm afraid I can't give you much for theme, as all there is at this point is a loose tie-in to Dwarf Fort.
