I don't know what the miners were doing because they were just running around and when the layer shifted down they started "dancing" by rapidly flipping left and right. But you know what, I really enjoyed it. I got a special satisfaction out of upgrading their gear and watching them have fun while I worked, digging each block. But hey, SOMETIMES THEY BROKE BLOCKS... I mean... they only broke about 5-10 blocks in the entire game... but they tried! The ending was cool, too bad it didn't really twist anything. I was expecting to have to break monster blocks one day to keep them from eating my miners...
