What a cute little game, I found you only need one furnace as you can really only make one sword at a time but other than that fantastic art and loved the minigames!
10/10 would get overrun by rats again
This game is really good, I loved it :D
Clean design and fun concept!
A bit difficult, but a good game!
Nice game!
This game is great! Really amazing to play it!
Cute little game. The visuals look great, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't find a way how to multitask making two swords at the same time. Other than that the game is nice, no bugs and the mechanic is clear.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Try putting a second iron ore in the furnace as soon as you remove the first. This way, it should be ready to pick up as soon as you finish the first sword, allowing you to continue the loop without stopping.
Astounding Simplicity game, really like it. Now it's ur turn to try & vote us. thank u
Good work!
Nice style. Mini games are simple but effective. Good work!
Super cute art style! The game is a bit lacking in mechanics but I feel if you had more time and expanded on this idea , it could be a really fun game!
Such a unique concept for the theme, I had a lot of fun playing it! I think it would've been nice if once you finished a step, you could get a little UI flash showing you where to go next your first time making a sword. Overall I really liked the idea of the gameplay loop and thought the art was amazing, great job!
Thank you for the feedback! I couldn't implement a tutorial in time, but a flalsh could be an easier solution!
I quite liked the concept and the gameplay loop. Maybe it lacks a little polish in its mechanics, plus the idea could be expanded a little, it's interesting.
Additionally, the music works well to generate tension in moments of battle.
Well done! :D
I really liked how the gameplay loop goes!
especially when the iron ingots can be overcooked which prevents some cheezing
i managed to fill the floor with iron ingots when switching from forging the sword , go smelt, grind, go smelt and repeat XD
and i see how this can easily be expanded with giving the player more options for soldiers to make, maybe even mixing and matching with the materials and having a complex recipe tree
overall i enjoyed the game it was fun and sweet ❤️
Thank for the feedback! I really want to add more soldiers and materials in the future
Super Addictive, but a little difficult, I'm unsure If im missing something, but i feel like even though I'm getting 3 star swords, I can't pump out enough swords to handle the mice. Great submission! Thank you for reaching out in the thread!
Thank you so much! You really need to be using the furnaces in the most optimal way possible to craft enough swords in this build! I make around 11 or 12 sword to be able to get to the end of the 3rd wave. If i make updates to the game later I'll probably change the difficulty curve!
The gameplay loop is really fun and addictive!
Loved this game will be playing more
Wow this was super fun
oh... I wanted to make a game about making swords but I couldn’t come up with mini-games for actual sword creation.. but you did it. I really like it, looks nice, sounds as it should. only sad thing is there no progression(? maybe I just haven't played enough) but it actually has a potential to be a full game. probably one of the best on jam
Thank you so much! The initial idea was for the game to have unlockables, like new weapons and stations, and new enemies and bosses. But so is the tale of the game jam, they were all cut from the scope so we could finish what we had.
Definitely thinking about adding them later!
The game is so fun and so polished (no pun intended), but the time management has to be very very precise in order to try to keep up with the invaders ! I got to 9 ennemies and put one last soldier to protect the village but he got one shot. Guess i rushed his sword too much because i was panicking a bit !
Overall a very nice game : the concept is simple to understand and the atmosphere is cozy ! Good job !
