Very good, you managed to emulate very well the effect of keeping the ingot heated while hammering to shape the metal.
At the beginning, I found the instructions a bit confusing, especially knowing when an order is active and when I should pick it up. I had to go back to the tutorial a few times (I admit I skimmed it the first time haha).
Overall, congratulations on the submission!
Fun concept and very on theme but as other have stated ramps up in difficulty too quickly. Also, I noticed a bug where you can pay the taxman more than once in a day if you hit spacebar more than once while they are still at the stall.
I appreciate you took time to give us some lore with the tutorial. I also like the powerups being available to the player in this sort of game.
Cool stuff! Is that leaderboard online? If so, that is very impressive. As others have mentioned, it is a bit difficult. I find it very hard to create high quality weapons to sell for a lot of gold.
I really like the voiceline when you die. That was a very nice touch!
One small issue is that I think some of the text goes outside the screen in the tutorial.
Thank you, the leaderboard is online!
Fun idea, and love the effort put into the art and animations. Definitely feels you could've increased the window for where to click on the target as it felt a bit unforgiving. Great submission though!
Fun idea and fits the theme perfectly.
Very hard though, could not get past the second visit of the tax man... also not really sure what the golden hammer I bought was supposed to do.
Would have enjoyed it more if I could have made it past day three...
I love how you integrated the "loop" into the game art. Really cool idea.
This game is so good!
