Dwarven Mines - 32x32 Side-Scroller Pixel Art Pack

Dwarven Mines is a 32x32 side-scroller pack for building a whole dwarf hold under the mountain: the mine workings, the forge, the great hall, a glowing crystal cavern and the treasure vault, ready for platformers, RPGs and metroidvanias.

The hold goes together piece by piece. Shore up the tunnels with timber, lay rail for the minecarts, raise forge brick, carved hall walls and granite, roof the bunkhouse in slate and the forge in copper, stand the runed pillars and the king's statue, light the great furnace and the braziers, grow crystals and glowcaps in the cavern, then pile the vault high with gold. One flat side view, one light and one outline, so every piece sits next to every other.

Bundle deal: get this pack and every other side-scroller pack, 16x16 and 32x32, for $19.99 in the Complete Side-Scroller Pixel Art Collection (save over 90%).

The night shift

The lamps burn low, the forge windows and the furnace glow through the dark, the hall runes shine and the crystals light the way to the vault. Lanterns, braziers, glowing crystals and rune lights are all there for the dark scenes.

From the bunkhouse to the forge

Timber shoring and a slate roof for the miners' bunkhouse, forge brick and copper for the smithy. Bronze windows, vents, a chimney and the great furnace turn a plain wall into a working forge.

Ready for platformers

Ground sets tile in any size with ledges and slopes, one-way platforms come as left, middle and right, and the iron spikes, hot coals, caltrops, lava, steam vents, cracked planks, rope bridges, ladders, chains and ropes make a level out of the mine.

4 dwarves, each with a quirk

• Brokk, a miner whose cap lamp only works again after a good thump on the helmet
• Hilde, a smith whose braid frizzes into a cloud every time she quenches a blade
• Barrik, a brewer who always ends up wearing the foam in his beard
• Tinka, an engineer whose goggles fog up the moment she fixes a steam pipe
