Saw this game released on Steam today, and it looks really cool. Here's a synopsis:
Quote: Dwarfs!? offers an addictive, fast paced arcade-like experience, with plenty of difficulty levels and game modes to play, in the tradition of great games such as "Lemmings" and "Dwarf Fortress."
As the new overseer for your underground Dwarf base, your job is to manage the small colony and make it as rich as possible, before they meet their inevitable doom! To survive as long as possible, youÆll have to steer and guide your greedy little fellows to the richest points in the caves, while avoiding all the dangers û so they donÆt end up destroying your Town Hall and its essential supply of beer.
They explore for you, they mine for you and they fight for you - but if you don't keep an eye on them, they'll do what they do best: die for you and take everyone else with them. But, if all else fails when the Spider Queen comes for you û use the OutpostÆs Dwarf Cannon and shoot Dwarfs at her!
There are only 3 certainties in this world: death, taxes and that Dwarfs always dig too deep!
And a gameplay video - Linkage
Does Dwarf Fortress get an upgrade!? Eeeeeee!

If it doesn't have Dwarf Fortress' downright terrible and clunky interface, then I'm game .

better a crappy interface than crappy gameplay 
looks like a waste of rlbuxx tbh, but have fun~
There is a demo if you wanted to try it . The problem for me with Dwarf Fortress was that the crappy interface stood in the way of the non-crappy gameplay . It certainly wasn't impossible to overcome, but it definitely was a hassle.
I haven't purchased it yet, I just enjoy informing the public. Give it a shot!
