Short, sweet, and super fun! Would love to play the funded defense version.

That reminded me of the one time I got stuck in a mineshaft, because I yearned for the mines. Luckily my buddy also knew how to make a portal that brings me home.

This is very lore accurate.

I liked the Isometric look of the Game :)
The gag in the begin made me laugh. Because I totally understood what was at stakes!

getting into the flow state of this game is so meditative

I kept waiting for badies to show up, and then none did! but that was also kinda nice cuz i could just turn my brain off and mine iron. was a  very calming game.

Genuinely one of my favorites so far, it was mesmerizing, feels like there's potential for a really cozy game here that you could get lost in for hours (different types of towers, skill tree, etc.)

I heard that funding got cut, is there anything my wealthy uncle can do to help?

Great mind think alike (rodent power game :D ). I love the TD genre, your take on it is fun to play. Cheers!

Really nice idea and executed well, my only issue is that it would be nice if the towers mined the normal stone too to open up paths, and let the player go out and get the resource. overall really nice, good job

I think I should have played the Gerbil Defense Force 1-7 before trying this eight installment of the franchise.

I liked the rhythmic sound the footsteps make when you walk around. Gerbil was cute, but it would not listen to my authority.
