Game Description
Forge giant swords for giant people! Even if you're tiny, you can still forge giant swords by using everything you've got! This game is a mix between a bullet-hell and a platformer. You forge swords and dodge the fireballs that are created during the heating process of the forge. (Giant people not included in the game unfortunately)
How does your game tie into the theme?

Art was cool as mentioned before! I did also struggle a bit with the controls, but I could definitely see myself getting used to them, which means this could be a really, really fun game. Good submission!
The art was great, the platforming was great, the concept was well done. I had a hard time with the controls though, double jump was a bit difficult to land, and the actual forging portion kept bugging out and I couldn’t complete a single one, so sadly I was unable to progress. Would love to have seen more of the bullet hell stuff ironed out!
Thank you for playing! Shame that you encountered some bugs. But thanks for the feedback, I agree the controls could've been more smoothed out.
Very creative, love the art. The controls are a bit difficult to get as there isn't much guidance, and wall-jumping to smack the ore was a bit of a task. Still had fun, and really enjoyed the overall vibe. The writing was a laugh too, though a way to skip it would have been nice after trying a few times ;) Good job!
Thanks for playing! The writing repeating itself was a bit of a bug xD. I only noticed it after the game had been published, but glad you had fun anyway. It was fun to conceptualize, even if I didn't get to realize it fully.
Nice mechanics and a very interesting idea. Takes some time to get used to the controlls, but hey, who does not enjoy a bit of challenge ? Music and artstyle also feel cohesive and pleasant. The face of the hammer is pure comedy though XD
