Dwarf Eats Mountain

How do you import the game? I see the export botton but not the import

If i buy this game here, will i be getting it on steam as well?

Or wait until this is released on steam. Allready favourited it there ;)

genuinely fantastic incremental game, honestly one of the best i've seen. it is incredibly clever in design in both upgrade dynamics as well as for player enjoyment managing to both last several hours and be engaging all throughout.

if i had to give a list of things id want added:

- a way to check all stat modifiers being applied to a tower. eg, ballista accuracy + damage + fire rate from upgrades, other buildings, relics, and temp modifiers to direct which way you should upgrade. Maybe wizard tower upgrade to observe how well you're doing.

- A way to intensify the mountain's drawing of ores to increase performance but also increase wealth given per ore. Honestly maybe even a slider here?

- I noticed that dens said they protect the mountain from damage but I'm pretty certain both the mountain and den got damaged at the same time

- Maybe a way to delete units (and get back dawi) and/or a one tile extension to the right at some point? I suspect something like this is planned with brief mentions of getting a greater Khazak Dwarfhold???

genuinely a fantastic game though, i absolutely adore it. expect me to buy it on steam when it comes out. im surprised it doesn't cost money here tbh.

I am currently mountain 105 and i've noticed 2 things on browser (chrome). 1. all of my ores are currently moving in slow motion as I easily average over 1K current ores which honestly not much I could see happen as  90% of the time they are still in the air but definitely slows down gold production. The second thing I noticed is that souls take FOREVER! I am only waiting on soul upgrades and upgrades that require over 10 mithril. Yet again I understand this is an incremental game but it seems like it takes forever just for 1 soul, and I need up to 3 souls just for 1 upgrade. thank you for understanding and very great game overall. <3

Rapid Repair Servitors!? Blessed be the Omnissiah!

Can you add an option to tint/make the bg color solid for the panels? When theres a lot of objects/ores it makes it really hard to read even with the black outline text

you should have it so that if they get hit *if this is already not in the game* that it has a small chance to play goofys falling scream

I'm so glad I found this game! I love playing incrementals and this has easily become a favorite in the last few weeks. There's something about the style and physics that makes it feel so rewarding and engaging. The fantasy flavor is really fun! It sets me up to daydream a bit while I play.

I'm so excited to keep up with this project :) Looking forward to adding this to my Steam library!

just had a dwarf forget to throw stuff into the maw?? they just went up to it and rested still with all the stuff on their head and then went to gather more (and got stunned i think, it was hard to pay attention). the top item was an artifact, idk what exactly caused that

This is a god tier game and I've finished it countless times in almost every patch. Is there any chance you could add an additional difficulty mode where prestige points aren't gained for mountains where you've already gained them? So you would need to make more progress to get more PPs. The mountains would have to be buffed as well. 

Another thing that I would love to have in the future is a way to lose. Perhaps the mountain and its denizens could start fighting back against the buildings or something.

Again, insanely good game. I hope you can add more challenges so I can keep playing it over and over again.

Rest time upgrade for bulldozers seems to get worse going from 5 to 6?

Hello GreenWizard, I would like to write a small review of your game. 

After playing it at browser, I downloaded and stress-tested the game using Cheat Engine, a good PC and a Potato PC. 

There is no performance difference in a good PC or Potato PC. The game sustains lots of sprites and movement without slowing down. The visual options, however, need to be better addressed before a final release. 

Text outline is totally necessary during moments where there are lots of things in the screen at the same time. I suggest it comes enabled by default. 

It was not totally clear to me at first gameplay that you could prestige. The acronym PP made no sense until I understood it was Prestige Points. However the amount of Gold retrieved stays the same. One *can* reach endgame without ever needing to prestige. 

Disabling screen shake sometimes re-enable itself. Prestige is one of the causes of it. Calamities and New Mountain also keep screen shake even with the option disabled. I need to remove screen shake because I have vertigo. Excess screen shake may cause accessibility problems for your players. 

Disabling particles remove also the particles that visually inform the player a new mountain appeared, remaining only the mountain movement itself. The result is a dull animation. I suggest to split the option into ''mountain particles'' and ''projectile particles''. 

The artefact's acquisition pop-up is useful for new players at the beginning of the game, but at end-game, when 2 or more artefacts come, it becomes annoying, because you cannot access other options until click/dismiss the artefact pop up. There is no visual indicator of precedence of pop-ups. Text is just rendered one over the other, making it difficult to know where to click. I usually just click outside all until only the main one is active. 

There is no practical limit of how many dwarves can be at screen. Turrets, for example, can be placed even beyond screen size. They fire, but don't hit rocks. Miners can become a meat tower until the upper part of the screen. In this case, they tend to launch their pickaxes/dynamites all at the same time without delay. 

Some units are way more efficient than others. Stacked Lasers make Ballistas obsoleted. Fire causes almost neglectible damage to the mountain. A player can focus solely in stacking more Lasers and it will be enough. 

The faster the Runners go and come back, the better the Gold acquisition. Therefore, a player can just avoid increasing the carrying capacity altogether, focusing on speed. 

The discovering of the tech tree is well done. The indicators in the menus reminding of what is necessary to unlock certain feature are good. I would like to suggest the inclusion of a discoverable tech tree image, as a better visual indicator. 

Sound settings are perfect. 

How about an option to increase the mouse performance in manually moving gold?

A couple months from now, the game will be ready to proper release. Keep the good working, we are waiting for it!

Probably the most fun I've had with an itch game

playing on browser since I don't have pc and accidentally erased my browser data. how to import a save file on browser?

I only saw export and save data.

After the Patch i get this Error almost immediately: 

"Error occured: Uncaught [object Object]"

Been enjoying the game a lot so far. I've read and agree with a lot of the comments on the bulldozers wrt them being slow and expensive. However, I do still like them quite a bit, for three reasons. 

1. The bulldozers are more efficient at delivery. Even before purchasing the guzzler, they deliver ore more directly into the maw, or at least, without the possibility of the ore falling in front of the maw where it'll need to be picked up again. One thing that irritates me with runners is that their accuracy never improves, and the guzzler only compensates for that so much. You can easily get in an infinite loop where runners are picking up and delivering the same ore over and over again. it feels very stupid.
2. I've noticed that when a runner picks ore up, the mountain can no longer reclaim it. However, when the runner delivers the ore into the maw, the second the ore leaves the runners hand, the mountain can reclaim it again. (This is also true for gorilla arms, and is a big reason why i hate it so much). Since runners delivering ore can throw it all the way to the top of the screen, that means a very long period where the ore has been delivered by the runner, but does not count as having been claimed, as far as I can tell. This ore either contributes to the ore count putting other ore at risk of being reclaimed or is at risk of being reclaimed itself. With this in mind, the bulldozers delivering ore more directly into the maw is an advantage worth considering despite the expense and other disadvantages.
3. They're cute. I'll say it. They look like little dogs, and that's adorable.

Now, despite my appreciation for them, they still need a fair bit of work. Here are some things that frustrate me about them:

1. Others have mentioned how expensive they are. I've played all the way to level 100 a couple of times, an I've hit the point as early as level 40 where the restriction on what upgrades you can buy is the amount of mithril or souls. The bulldozers being so expensive worsens this balance dramatically.
2. The fact that they have no dodge as far as I can tell coupled with the fact that a rest/repair cycle does not restore them to full health even after full upgrades means they can easily spend more time stunned than operational. 
3. In the late game, there are often so many falling rocks that it fully negates the health regen over time.
4. It's unclear how they are supposed to protect nearby runners from falling debris, and I honestly don't feel like it's working much.
5. The rock-busting laser also feels very ineffective for the price (so do the other rock-busting turrets tbh)
6. Them not being affected by runes feels unfair with the current limited upgrades and the limited efficacy of those upgrades.

I don't know how to fix all of these, but I have some thoughts for some of them

1. I would honestly rather have them rest for longer and set out at full health than have them set out more frequently at partial health. Maybe a "repair cycle" lasts for a certain number of seconds and repairs a certain amount of HP, and repeats until the dozer is fully repaired, with upgrades increasing the amount of HP and speed of cycle until a fully upgraded dozer only takes one cycle to be repaired. These cycles would need to be shorter by default in order to not feel unfairly long at the end of full upgrades, but you could balance it with other upgrades—a dozer that takes less damage sets out again sooner. Heal over time is another model that would work well, I think.
2. Like the runners, they can take damage while resting/being repaired. This needs to go away, I think, regardless of whether you change the way repair works or not. At the moment, a dozer can conceivably go in to rest and take more damage than it is repaired for. A repair shed as a possible upgrade, perhaps.
3. I agree that a dodge chance doesn't make narrative sense for a bulldozer, but a deflector shield or something like the runner's beard aura would be a great upgrade. As other have said, it's easy to get to a point where all the health upgrades don't matter because you just have too many rocks reaching the ground, even with robust defenses.

Thank you again for the update.

Flamers are too soul intensive, bulls feel useless, Guzzler would be good if it had full height coverage at max level (anything that passes the threshold gets collected), still think Gorilla arms is an actively bad upgrade

Runners have a bad habit at higher levels of collecting and running so fast that they tunnel their way under the pile and return to the stash with only half an inventory to the face of their long resting time - perhaps they could be given extended reach later to collect ores which have at some time been resting still but aren't directly on the floor? - particularly worried about this in terms of mythril if it gets reclaimed too

how did you name 100 mountains ? how long did it take ?

Could the mountain reclaiming gems only count gems settled on the ground? Or maybe only gems that are in contact with the mountain or near it, kind of like an anti-great maw guzzler? Late game it feels bad to see gems flying back into the mountain while my runners are coming up empty handed, caused by too many gems in the air from drop-offs/yeets/gem geysers. Also, the bulldozers remove gems from the count when they pick up, but runners don't. 

“When the area gets crowded with buildings and structures, visibility at the top of the mountain becomes limited. Will there be an option to expand the screen—perhaps by about 25%—so we can view more of the mountain?”

I really wanted to play that game but the UI was horrible... I couldn't understand what each upgrade does because of: 1. long descriptions that don't provide much value to me as a player 2. Lack of visual elements, most stuff i've seen is text based only, some sort of icons or other cues would have helped tremendously. 3. Locked upgrades visually mix in with the unlocked ones

it would be nice if I could leave this running in the background cause its an idle game. Why do I need to actively play it? or is that just a itch.io limitation?

I feel like the game is a bit too easy, and the miners are overpowered. I am currently at the 100th moutain, most of my DPM comes from miners, and I haven't felt the need to ever prestige.

It's a silly little game. :) (please add ability to sell turrets and an occasional UFO that would distract air defense)

I got a question, is there a way to just move the buildings without swapping them with another. Swapping buildings is cool and useful for the lasers or wind bomb to make it easier to use. though being able to move buildings without having to swap them would also be really nice, unless it is something I can do and just didn't realize.

bulldozer feedback:

1) cute!!

2) with the amount of mithril (and also souls) they eat up, it'd be nice to have extra sources of those

3) it'd be nice to have some runesmith upgrades for them too

please tell me how the number of scientists/runesmiths affect this number

Maybe to buff/change how the turrets work, at higher burst fire levels or with each burst fire upgrade they fire more at once instead of in a barrage? With high enough cooldown and enough burst fire there are lasers constantly firing but they cant keep up with lategame rockfall/skulls etc. In line with that if keeping the barrrage from the burst fire upgrade, maybe make the cooldown work so they can fire another barrage while the previous one is still going on.

i have the feeling i get to few mithril, i have around 100000 gold but i just dont get all the mithril i need. the mountain sucks up to much of my mithril so i dont get many

pixel glitches also appear for me if i start the game with non-100% page zoom level btw and in that case they don't get fixed by toggling hd mode. not a big deal but i thought i'd mention it

yea chat, I have every pp upgrade😏
