About
You tend to a cluster of Craftlings and shepherd them to gather resources and construct buildings. With the goal of tackling each level’s unique challenge, you will assign tasks, grow your settlement, optimise production chains, and upgrade your Town Hall to unlock new possibilities. Can you guide your Craftlings to greater heights?

Shape the world around you by putting your diligent Craftlings to work and constantly improve your settlement by adapting framework foundations into flourishing hubs. Craft various building types, from farms to barracks, by harvesting the local resources to help establish and evolve your village. Assign tasks and mix up your Craftlings’ roles and responsibilities to collect the resources you need, swiftly switching their profession between lumberjacks, stone masons, miners, warriors and more.

Navigate through levels spread across several distinct biomes, each with their unique vegetation, buildings and specific end objective. Experiment with the buildings at your disposal to optimize your Craftlings production chains, to further streamline the efficiency of your blossoming village. Blast your way through the dirt, take risks, venture past your settlement to find additional resources, but be ever wary of what dangers lurks around the corner.

Craftlings is a throwback to problem solving strategy games from the 90s and showcases a modern-day pixel art style that pays homage to the classics. Coupled with a soothing score, relaxing vibe and humorous sound effects, you’ll feel right at home in this world whether it’s your first time or it reminds you of somewhere you visited once before.

Lemmings meets Age of Empires. A lot of fun and quite relaxing
Steam deck controls are not optimized. I recommend that the dev get a hold of a deck and try some other cursor heavy games (eg, FTL).
Inspiriert von der Lemmings-Reihe aus den 90iger Jahren (ich selber habe es damals auf einen Win95 oder älter kennengelernt, meine ersten PC-Erfahrungen), werden die kleinen verpixelten Männchen zu Holzfäller, Steinmetze, Bergarbeiter, Landwirte... Waffenhersteller, Kämpfer, Soldaten usw. deswegen Craftlings. Besonderheit der Lemmings war, dass man diese ohne Verluste ins Ziel befördert. Die Männchen kennen nur eine Richtung und machen somit kein Halt vor dem sicheren Tod (z.B. vor Abgründe oder ertrinken). Deshalb müssen Wegweiser, Blockaden, Plattformen erstellt werden. Zurücklehnen kann man sich somit nicht, denn „das Leben findet einen Weg“ gibt es nicht! Es gibt 3 unterschiedliche Welten mit je 4 Level voller Management, Strategie und sogar einer Story. Allerdings ist es kein Idler-Game (zumindest nicht von Anfang an).
It's a no brainer buy for anyone that played lemmings back in the day! It's a modern take on a classic and it does it excellently.
Not bad, but nah
Broken logistics. Hit a point where the craftlings won't drop off resources to complete buildings or sell them. I restarted multiple times, same issue. Gets old constantly having to micromanage them, click to turn them around over and over until they do drop it off. And yes it's all set for 100% drop off so that's not the problem. Got bored of this and quit/uninstalled the game. Seems like devs only hang out on Discord. I bought the game on Steam, not on Discord.
Just a real fun and surprisingly complex little puzzler. If you liked Lemmings, you'll probably like this!
Excellent game, its a combination of classic settlers and lemmings in a surprising fun and complex city builder. How simple or complicated you want to make your designs is almost entirely up to the player, take it slow keep it simple, want to hit the top end of the leader board be prepared to come up with extremely complex looping systems, I'd recommend the game to anyone that has a love of 2d city builders. Its also getting regular updates with new maps and general patching.
I like it because it isn't necessarily timed or competitive but still has ranking so I can play again and again trying to get a higher score.
Great game, really enjoying it, similar type of game like the Classic Lemmings but a bit more in depth and missions take a bit longer, its a great game to chill out too.
