⛏️ 5 Days before Hold the Mine's release! ⛏️

In August, I crafted a little Fimo Dwarf for @hookariagames.com , just for fun ✨

(and I recently had proof he still has it 🙌)

It's time for you to learn about HER 💅

We just like the sawmill too much. Don't ask any questions, I don't have the answers.
I just know she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment.

(the cunty version is not in the game sorry)

On the top, the logo of the game "Hold the Mine" In the middle, 2 visuals: a basic sawmill and then the same sawmill but in the style of Smay Patrick Meme, with a mouth and long nails, very cunty

If you like strategy games, you probably like stats. And these icons will help you figuring out a plan so you can win!

⛏️Treasures to dig up!⛏️

These are the items you can loot in Hold the Mine. Some are ressources, some allow you to recruit or build, and some have a huge impact on the mine's tiles! 💣💥

Played Hold The Mine démo a few months ago and it was already really really fun.
Plus it has dwarves. Several.
Plus the devs behind are great.
Wishlisting the game would then be the smart move as it releases in 2 week !
