Controls: - Left Click: Select a dwarf - Right Click: Assign a job to the selected dwarf - Middle Mouse Button: Zoom Camera - Pan the Camera via Mouse position - Alt F4: Exit the game

Left Click a dwarf to select it. From there, Right Click on either the dirt in the mine, the wheelbarrow outside of the mine, or the anvil near the house; this will work the respected station. The piles of dirt near the wheelbarrow and the anvil will grow in size until they are at their max, at which point you must assign a dwarf to work the station to progress.

Gameplay: Base gameplay consists of three tasks: - Mining Gold bearing dirt - Moving the mined dirt to the anvil - Processing the dirt at the anvil to make Gold

Initially, you will need to complete these tasks single handedly... However as your village grows and attracts more dwarves, you will find yourself micro-managing your workers. Each level will display a number of resources that you must reach in order to upgrade the village. Furthermore, you must have finished digging the mine's current level in order to go deeper and upgrade the settlement.

The Goal: The goal of Dwaaarrvves! is to upgrade your village level by level until the game ends, at which point you will see how long it took you to finish the game. (Usually 25+ Minutes)

I like the game, but it was confusing. It was hard to know what to do next. I did not now where to click.

Looks like it has potential!
But I would really like to see more instructions in-game, or more clarity on controls / what to do next, I had to tab-out and refer to this page each time
I would also love for this to go a bit faster than it does - most of the gameplay I experienced felt mainly like waiting unfortunatly

The beginning was a bit tricky figuring out what I needed to do. When I got it down, I got enough coins to progress, but the button in the top froze my game after clicking it. I did really like the 3d parallax type look though and the side scrolling type of feel.

I really like the art style! The gameplay could be a bit more involved, and some simple sounds would go a long way, but I like it none the less. Well done!

I played it and beat it in about 31 minutes. I like the art style. Not much to the gameplay kinda plays like an idle game.

Basic concept of a clicker game, nice graphics. The animations were hillarious (super fast). Got some time getting used to the controls and mechanics.
