Sometimes labour is cheaper than automation. Especially when you're talking about Dwarf labour. - Your Benevolent Machine Intelligence Overlords

Space Dwarf is a mash up of FTL and Flippers of Steel with a healthy dose of malicious machine intelligence. You will have to build all the components your ship will need in combat, including missiles, shields and lasers. To be successful you will also have to manage the load-out while in combat.

Description

Play as a lonely Space Dwarf, who has been floating through space for nigh 200 years. Even as you finally approach your distant destination things do not seem to be going right. The Machine Intelligence that runs the ship seems to be becoming more and more extreme. Will you, or any biological life, make it out alive?
