Super fun! Felt like there wasn't quite enough time before the next wave but still really great use of the theme.
wow that’s a very nice game you guys made, and it has controller support! My best was 6 enemies killed and 8 swords made :D
slay the rets
Great game, it quickly becomes a bit repetitive, maybe if there was a way to help your fighters it would feel more active. I very appreciate the different control input!
awesome game, pretty polished for a week game, nice work. A few upgrades options would be interesting
Such a fun game! It reminds me of Overcooked with the way you have to manage crafting items, but I love the way that it blends in with having to defend your village. Great job! I can definitely see this scaled as a full release, with a co-op/vs mode, more weapons, enemy types, and boss fights.
Well, all I can say is i can see why this game is so high in the popularity ranking now.
Great game! Cute visual and good gameplay) I have an idea to add a restart button if I have a bad attempt. And there are problems in the browser, mice just ignored my warriors.
Woohoo! Fellow Godot devs unite!
Really cute game, with a lot of potential! The core gameplay loop is fun, and the characters are very cute! I love the concept of being a blacksmith for a cat village fending off the nefarious rats. Would love to see this expanded, with different kinds of weapons and enemies. Great work!
Fun game and good interpretation of the theme. I ran into a bug where i had one rat left who wouldn't attack, and my cats wouldn't attack him either, so i was softlocked. Other than that though very good. I liked setting myself up by prepping resource piles and multitasking to smith or grind while my furnaces where cooking. It took me a few attempts to get the hang of it, but again, i enjoyed it alot.
you got the true ending/pacifist route! lol
thank you so much for the feedback and i'm sorry about the softlock :(
Really cool idea and great interpretation of the theme. It's very satisfying to craft 3 start swords and watch your dudes defend against the invasion. Great job on this!
Very nice game loop, spot-on sound effects, and super satisfying to see the defending army grow. Great job :)
It's like overcooked but with swords, nice. Well done!
This is such a fun game! I found it really calming to play, and it was fun discovering the most efficient workflows. The art is great and I liked the music too. Nice job!
It really amazes me that you were able to make this in 1 week.
Really solid gameplay loop will take some time to get used to the controls but once comfortable with, it is hella fun. The music is good not overpowering the gameplay just going with it and the sound are really good and on point.
One feedback from me would be having the same key to maybe drop off the items when I am near no active task and yeah like some of the comments a risk reward mechanism and a bit easier way to make swords in the initial levels. maybe iron easiest to make, diamond harder with much more grinding and hammering.
I got reminded of a game called JackSmith (Jacksmith 🔨 Play on CrazyGames). Try that game out, you will get a load of inspiration for further development
Really solid game. Kudos!!
I played a ton of jacksmith this week for inspiration! Thank you so much for the feedback!
Very fun submission with alot of potential, would love to be able to stop mid way through sharpening or using the whetstone, but other then that its a great concept and one I really like!
hmmm i think this was quite flawed honestly. it's essentially overcooked, but with only one recipe, no upgrades, and no possibility to multitask.
i assume there were two furnaces to encourage multitasking, but the fact that making a sword locks you into the process for the entire time means that by the time you finish your first sword, your second iron bar will be destroyed in the furnace.
art was very pretty, sound was great. im very open to discuss this game more with you if you'd like.
Like we discussed in discord, learning that you can drop items fixes some of those points. A lot of players aren't getting that, even with the text on the screen the whole game. A mini-tutorial could help i guess.
Different recipes and upgrades were on my to-do list, but i couldn't make it in time.
One of my favourite games I've played from the Jam so far! Really tight gameplay loop and cohesive assets. Well done with this submission, it's really well scoped.
My main piece of feedback is that the difficulty increases quite drastically, but that's something that can be adjusted.
I'm looking forward to see where this is taken post-Jam. I feel like including additional crafting options, along with some optional steps (Risk/Reward - Do I craft an improved item or send a normal one out more quickly?) would really make this game shine.
Fantastic job!
Thank you so much! You gave me a lot of ideas!
Really neat and well polished, well done!
Love the sword making minigames! It does seem like a very tight window to win at the moment, maybe I just need to be better at making swords...
