I don't know if its because I'm on Linux, it kept crashing.
the web version? thanks for telling me, i haven't tested in linux yet
Yeah the web version. Couldn't get it to run. Since I haven't played enough to see what's up, I haven't touched the star rating.
Cool game, wish there was more stuff to do besides the swords but I understand due to the limitations
Really cool game! Wish there were upgrades and such tho
Surprisingly effective for the few systems at play. Very cute designs and solid mini-game.

Thank you for playing in live! I'll play your game as soon as possible!
What a cool little game. So polished and fun! I think it's a great fit for the theme and the pixel art is adorable. As I was playing I did wonder how it feel if there was one extra (optional) step that could make an even more powerful sword, and you'd have to make that decision between giving out a good enough sword or spending longer to make a really powerful one. Overall, I really enjoyed this. Great work!
It's a very interesting suggestion. Some people also mentioned that the last step could be optional, so you could give dull swords, that do little damage, but can stall the enemies
Once I understood the very beginning the rest was smooth and I really like the simple but interesting mechanic of the sword forging, nice job on that!
I did actually attempt to play then immediately skip this specific submission without rating it, at least 3 separate times (if not more), for some reason. Even with the tutorial on itch.io and the controls in-game, for some reason the very beginning was not easy for me to figure out, so I would quit out of the game immediately and go to another submission. Not exactly sure why, since it's so simple, it's just taking the item from the center and bringing it to one of the forges. For some reason, it only happened to me, especially that many times and so early on in the game, for this specific game only and not any other one, which is odd.
However, in case there might be really be something a bit unintuitive you find out later about the very beginning of the game in particular that might explain why this happened, I mention it here in case.
Very nice job on the game!
Thank you for the feedback! I really wish i had the time for a proper tutorial
Very solid, simple to understand and play. I feel like the difficulty slope is a bit fast, but still fun to play!
This game was a blast! The visuals and overall vibe are fantastic. I found the enemies quite tough, which added to the challenge but was a bit overwhelming at times. Great work overall!
It was fun. The art and atmosphere are great
It's a bit difficult. The enemy was too strong
But it was fun!
I love how I focus on making sword while others fighting to death lol
Great mechanics and gameplay loop.
Very nice game about a black cat making a bunch of swords for his soldiers to defeat invading mice!
The cart is very cute, colours very soft and gameplay loop and simple to understand.
Overall, a very good experience.
This is a nice interesting game and I played it for 4-5 times. Forging and sharpening takes long time and some times the emeny can still attack even I have 2-3 defenders. Strugging to win but still a lot of fun.
Hey! Just checking, did you figure it out that you can press 'E' or 'Shift' to drop the item you're holding? A lot of people that are struggling seems not to... Thanks for the feedback!
I had SO MUCH FUN!! I loved every second of this game!! PLAY IT!!
This was nice! It took a bit to get into the rythm but once I did it went well!
I like the gameplay loop, and I like how it follows the theme.
The music also fits in a really good manner, being appropiate to what is happening :D
One of the best games I have played so far, the game loop is spot on. The rats kept kicking my ass but that was just skill issue. The pixel art and mechanics are perfect.
Great mechanics and gameplay loop. A very charming game. Great work! Congrats and good luck!
Cute and fun game. I love the name you chose for your game.
Excellent job.
it was hard but fun and satisfying!
