Hey, another Dwarf-related game! And you also used GM: Studio! :) I'll definitely give this one a try!

Awesome art! Great little concept! Too bad we can't dig for beer in real life!

Very good concept and game mecanism. Graphics are ok but I excepted more animations.

IMO you should reset the level when you fail to reach the end, otherwise it's easy to finish it in multiple lifes. But it still works with the fact that you only have 3 lifes, so maybe that's ok.
Also It would have been interesting to use gravity (you go down if there is space under you, you can't go back up).

Nice art and idea. Hurt by the small levels and lack of challenge. I'd work on this further and polish it up. The theme and idea is solid.
