You may know developer NinjaBee as the folks behind Xbox LIVE Arcade titles like Band of Bugs, Outpost Kaloki X, Cloning Clyde, and the upcoming A Kingdom for Keflings. What you might not know is just what in the hell as Kefling is. Quite frankly, we were as lost as you ... until now. 

A Kingdom for Keflings is a light-hearted city-building sim that puts players in control of a giant who must design and construct cities for locals called Keflings. These Keflings can be used as helpers who will follow your every command, and can be trained to become lumberjacks, miners, transporters, and more

Players will build the city across four seasons, and can also play with up to four other giants cooperative over Xbox LIVE. A Kingdom for Keflings will hit XBLA this fall, which gives NinjaBee enough time to put in all of the village pillaging this game appears to lack.

I will buy this game in an instant! I don't know anything about it (other than what is mentioned above), but NinjaBee is far-and-away my favorite XBLA developer. Cloning Clyde and Band of Bugs were both interesting and enjoyable titles, if not amazing. But, Outpost Kaloki X is still one of my favorite XBLA games to this day.

There's something about NinjaBee's approach to making games that just feels fresh, no matter how many times a particular game's genre has been done.

The question is, are there disasters in the game that I can employ?

I don't know what Keflings are but I imagine they are not dissimilar from "Kieflings." Which, of course, were spawned from Kieffer Sutherland. They enjoy watching Lost Boys and re-runs of 24.
