No real 'problems' now. I don't think there's any save, which there probably should be (good use for the Start menu). Starting off is a little slow, maybe $50-100 for the first +1max would help. Otherwise, here are some ideas (rather than suggestions), roughly in order of complexity:
1. Sword Tiers. Currently sword does I guess 1 damage, goblins have 3hp. Upgrade to Tier II, it does 2 damage; Tier II does 3 damage.
2. BONES. I'm killin' all these goblins, and what I get? Nothin. How about instead I get a second currency: BONES! Used for... all sorts of awesome new stuff. Or at least sword upgrades.
3. DEFENSE. Later game (I'm at 10 Lemmins), it becomes more a goblin-killing game than a mining game. Cool! For a bit. But before long, dang that's a lot of goblins. What would make it awesome: DEFENSES. Like:
- THE WALL. New building to the left of the smasher. Goblins have to scale it to get past, which slows them down some. Maybe the wall also holds in the ores (unless the pile gets higher than the wall). Possible upgrades for height, or to slow the goblins scaling it, etc.
- SWORDSMEN. You know we all want it. Simple version, they just attack the goblins. Fancier versions, goblins fight back, maybe knock them out for a bit. Either way. With the wall, player can drop them on either side, or on top.
- ARCHERS. Like swordsman, but... archers. Could be a free-moving unit like the others, or could just be fixed on top of the wall or whatever.
I'd still like to have Lemmins that mine for me (basically full automation potential), but defenders would be the most awesome :)
I enjoyed this game a lot, but there's a bug where you can drag the Control Panel menu to the left corner and never be able to select it again. I was playing it for hours and that ended my playthrough sadly.
The main screen should have a button/link/something that goes to the mining. It took me a few minutes to figure out that it's under Control Panel -> Mine -> that.. Exit looking button bottom corner.
Otherwise it looks like.. I start with 0 dollars, can't build any of the three things, and can't upgrade any of the three things in Control Panel.. nothing to do -> broken game -> give up.
I kept looking because it looked neat (and so far, it is!), but a lot of players might not.
Other suggestions:
1. Let me hold down the mouse button to keep mining instead of clicking.
2. The value of higher tier ores should scale better with the tophat bonuses; right now I get $9 for dirt, $10 for stone... and wish I hadn't upgraded that minecart since dirt is so much faster to mine.
3. Drag and drop lemming/s to the mine for auto-mining
4. SAVE GAME (auto-save ideally). Very very important

Awesome. New updates make it 10x the fun.

- Bonus: Instead of $ currency, tier upgrades cost... BONES (more below)

faster eating lemmin doesn't do anything, it just dances.
it makes others eat faster
that wasn't clear in the game, might need some updated description for that one.
