Fun forging minigames, very stardew-feeling :)
I suspect I ran into a bug with the combat though as I could keep making piles of swords but the enemy would not attack?
Well polished otherwise!
actually you got the true ending where the rats don't have the courage to attack you and surrender
nah, that's bug for sure, i hadn't come across that one yet, i'll try to reproduce and fix it for the post-jam patch! thank you so much for the feedback!
LOL true, if I was a rat there's no way I would try attacking at that point.
If it helps at all, it occurred when I sold a sword the same moment my first knight died.
Cheers :)
that really helps! it must've broken my state verification somehow, thanks again for the feedback!
The crafting minigames are cool! It's my first time seeing someone making their own sounds, that's impressive!
Overall, very strong entry! Kudos!
I really enjoyed the crafting mechanics, and the overall look and feel of the game!
amazing work!
I really enjoyed this game! The crafting mechanics were fun and reminded me of games like Overcooked and Jacksmith, which kept me hooked. The art is adorable, and I loved the little minigames, especially the sword polishing—it felt so satisfying! I did find the difficulty ramped up pretty quickly, and I think some more balancing, especially in terms of managing resources and keeping up with enemy waves, would make it even better. Overall, it’s a well-polished game, and I can definitely see this concept being expanded into a larger project. Great job!
Thank you so much! Those were my 2 biggest inspirations for this game! For sure it'll need more balancing tho
Super super good. I'm a sucker for well-scoped jam games. Well done :)
a lot was cut from the scope so we could finish in time 😅 thank you!
hello hello, fellow brazilian dev.
Mandou muito ;) Boa sorte ai meu amigo
Really cool game! I really like how you use the "fantasy" of being a smith, and turned it into a fun micro game with excellent mini games. It's fun, it's polished, and it's pretty! I don't like the song too much, but at least it's slow and relaxing, and doesn't really draw attention to itself. I also thought the game was a little bit too hard. And I was hoping there was a teensy bit more to the gameplay loop. But everything that's in the gameplay loop is great and very polished!
Amazing game! Very addictive and fun. Great job!
im awful at it but i love it! the graphics are very warm and nice and cat is cute, i love the little waddle waddle animation, so nice to play!
I like the game design and nice graphics/sound; I think the game is tuned a little too tough though. I see in the comments someone beat it but I'm not sure how. The sword grinding taking a set amount of time means you are held up there, and 1 full knight at 3* for both seems to only be able to kill 1 rat and then they'll die in the next hit. The normal knights aren't even able to kill one before dying. I think regaining health for the knights/building or giving the player a way to regain health is necessary or just making it quicker to build.
Thank you for the feedback! I did intend on having a station were you could spend ingots to regain health, but it wasn't ready in time. For sure i'll be rebalancing the game as soon as the jam is over, to have a more subtle curve.
If you want a tip, try putting a second iron ore in the furnace while 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.
I tried doing something like that where I put in 2, took them both out and on the ground and then put 2 more in. But maybe there's a better rhythm to it.
Nice game! Found it impossible to kill any enemies before using the hint of switching furnaces. Finished the game after that. Good work!
Thank you! I'll have to find a way to teach the player that via gameplay only
Nice game !
Cute Looking!
I loved the idea! Inspire to develop more overcooked-like game.
Maybe need a game balance for the minigame time and enemies arrive.
The polish is beautiful and no bugs found!
Won the game with 9 swords made :). Was a really fun play and made me feel like I was playing that one browser game where you make all kinds of equipment for warriors, I don't exactly remember the name..
Very polished and the minigames were nice to play. Good stuff!
Jacksmith! It was on my moodboard this whole week lol
I really liked your game!! The visuals are really good and the sfx are great! It's really fun to play! I can imagine a really fun multiplayer too.
This was a polished sweet short game. Well done!
Super polished! Love it
There was a flash game like this called Jacksmith, I believe on Armor Games, that was the times. Yours, did remind me of that type of gameplay very much so, and for that I applaud you very much! Also had that overcooked feel!
I played A LOT of jacksmith this week to inspire this game lol
Heck yeah, love that!
So much fun! I got addicted pretty quickly. Difficulty ramp could be better but the minigames and level of polish were great. Very cool idea.
The game is great and really fun to play! I love it <3
