Our take on Mining and Dwarves
Rather than making players choose between active control and passive progress, the game combines both approaches: abilities support hands-on play while recruited dwarves keep mining during idle periods. Its progression also avoids the genre’s common prestige reset structure.
What is Mining and Dwarves?
Mining and Dwarves is an incremental game built around mining rocks, collecting ore, and recruiting dwarves.
Active abilities can increase gains while play is underway, or dwarves can continue working during idle periods. Upgrades improve the player and the recruited helpers. Progression includes a skill tree, five dwarf types, and eight player abilities. The game uses persistent progression without a prestige system, so progress remains in place rather than resetting through prestige.
