Ruined
AKA Changing Ruins AKA Dungeon Keeper with Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen
The hit new TV show: renovate a dusty old bit of heritage into a shiny new apartment block, before the National Trust grannies kick the *&�£* out of your workers!
Plays like a weird combination of Dwarf Fortress and tower defence, and has a difficulty curve reminiscent of a spirograph.
UPDATE: please comment and let me know how much % you managed to renovate (or if the grannies kicked yo' ass)
I really liked this game! The difficulty spikes around the 4 minute mark but overall I think the difficulty curve is pretty nice. One complaint is that I can't select multiple blocks as once. It looked like I was able to do it, but when I let go of the mouse nothing changes. Great game overall though.
@sparkleswirl you can drag-select multiple blocks to define one job - so you can select the whole floor of a room and one guy will do it all. I haven't explained that very well in the game though!
Very cool game, I always found it very satisfying to smooth and engrave everything in DF, and this has a similar satisfaction to it. It would have been nice to have some indication of when celebrities had nothing to do since they often get distracted by the grannies, but overall I enjoyed it a lot.
Here's a challenge: looking at the code I've realised you can get over 100% renovated if you knock down enough walls (and renovate the floor beneath them). Not remotely convinced it's possible inside ten minutes though...
Excellent work crussel! 48%, I managed to keep the grannies locked away outside until I'd rennovated the east wing, but they spawned so frequently my guys couldn't handle the pain. Loved the concept, <3 DK. Felt a bit frustrated that the guys were standing around getting kills when there were jobs to do.
Agree with the difficulty, but I think a bit of that just stems from the workers not necessarily fighting back or whatever. Definitely spent the most time on this one so far. Simple but interesting gameplay.

O.O the game is very cool. And the pathfinding works very well =D
Hah, that was fun, but way too hard. Managed to get to 10% but those are some vicious grannies. Great concept. The intro text was a bit messed up for me, running in Wine.
Did something like 25%, really like the idea, graphics are a bit cheap but gameplay is pretty cool and fun. Maybe added a combat stance for workers culd have been a good idea. Btw great game.
Awesome game, really funny and quite addictive. I think I got to 44% after playing for nearly an hour! Please please please make a polished version, even if you don't add much more!
Really good game concept! Didn't managed to beat it. A few things are needed - either something like battle state (group units command of some sort or attack there with selection holding ctrl?) or at least to be abble to command individually(and sneak in the other section with someone when fighting with the others)
