I know the game visually look almost like Lemmings with the side scrolling view.

I can vaguely remember that the gameplay you have to dig tunnels and mine jewels? Build elevators and use boats to get across water, etc.

When the game starts, you can select a few different type of "miners/species"? One type is more durable they can fend off enemies and last longer in a brawl, the other are more speedy?

I am trying very hard to find this game.

EDIT UPDATED WITH MORE DETAILS:
I just remembered another important detail that might help with identifying the game! When you start the game after selecting your race/workers/miners.... You will have I think FIVE of them...

They can die until you have none left and gameover... I think.. Yes you will have I think FIVE workers/miners in your control to start with.

Oh I just remembered another important detail that might help with identifying the game! When you start the game after selecting your race/workers/miners.... You will have I think FIVE of them...
