Took a bit to get started, but once I got it, there was no stopping me! I questioned the comment about them being dumb ... until they just walked off cliffs and fell to their death. Then I worried about my own brain matter as I had them mine under rocks ...
Really like it, Thanks!

I really like these simple/mini-games. Your game looks amazing. I had to play a few times to understand it and even then things I had a little luck such as clicking the closest button unlock a barrier, I locked myself in a loop and only after clicking like crazy I realized I could "disable it". I also missed a restart button.

Other than that is a great concise experience. Congratulations.

The art style is great! I love the idea as well, very reminiscent of "Lemmings"

I wish there were more mobility options for the dwarves. It seems like once they're down some place, they're stuck. Something like stairs or a ladder, or a (for a price) one time pickup option

The idea is really cool, it'd be great to have it expanded on. I hope you keep working on this!

Took a minute to figure out, but really cool! Was not expecting something as puzzley. Would have liked to see more UI indication of where they would dig, as they went past a shorter route than I drew.

Like the other commenters here, it took a second for me to figure it all out, but then it ended up being fairly addicting. I would love to see this expanded into a full release, do you have plans to continue it?

(Edit: I love the visuals!)

The learning curve is a little steep, but I can see the potential here for a pretty fun game! I ran out of money and got stuck :(
