Fun! I enjoyed the art and music.

Great entry! Super challenging. Art and music are wonderful! One thought on the gameplay loop would be an option to cancel out of the mini game and move on to other tasks when you run out of time on the item you are making, but having said that this was one of the aspects that made it such a challenging game. Great job!

Awesome work, art and music are wonderful, generally intuitive. I think the minigame is a really simple one that’s easy to get behind. I love it!

I love love loooove the art and the smithing minigame.  As other's have said, amazingly polished product for a game jam with very satisfying art & game-feel. I wish I could carry two items at once, but maybe that would make the game too easy.

Thank you for the feedback. Our programmer was thrilled with the praise for the mini-game.

We did consider telling Bert the bull to carry two items at once to speed things up, but he insisted on taking one at a time because that's how his family has always done it for generations, and he didn't want to break tradition. We thought it best not to contradict a bull with a hammer.

Once again, thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.

After many years of forging, Bert the bull has refined his production methods and can do everything with his eyes closed.

Once again, thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback.

The forge playlist was chosen by Bert the bull himself. He says it complements the hammer beats.

Once again, thank you for the feedback.

Wow! Well done all around! Game felt very polished. It's a bit to stresfull for me, but it sure was a lot of fun!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback.

Believe it, Bert the bull finds it stressful too, but it's the profession he loves, so what can we do?

Once again, thank you for the feedback.
