super polished, clean and moody :)
Lots of fun, got lost in this, most excellent!
this was great, i got to depth 16 or so
Made it to 14th myself!
I ca build the sword with 2 iron plates, 2 flints and 6 scrap iron, is it legal?
Depth 17, almost all gem slots to lowweight. But there is no exit button to close the game.
Unfortunately it's a bug, this should create the same weapon as it would if those were stacks of one. I had to disable the web build of the game midway through the jam due to an issue with Itch, so the UI is sadly lacking at the moment.
It comes when you _replaces_ existing single item with the stack in mouse. So you get the one item from the ingredient cell and the whole stack goes to the ingredient cell.
I spent a good time playing the game. Very addictive, very good work ! :)
Wow, this is currently my favourite entry so far, there is just so much to talk about here in terms of game design.
Small things like the fact that the tutorial book which teaches you the shop, costs and sells for 20. That's a super elegant way of tutorialising it. You found an awesome way to implement crafting which really uses the theme of the jam very well, it is so cool that I can make different items with the same recipe, but different materials.
But one of the biggest MVP features was the fact that you can set the speed that battles take place. It is great to be able to blitz past the start after a while, even though the combat phase is nice and polished, the real meat of the game is in the forge phase.
Very polished entry with nice coherent graphics and soothing audio.
Already addictive and it doesn't even have the dopamine depth charge of fancy item get animations yet! Looking forward to see more of this
Just to consider as an option for later. This game could work on mobile device and with a good autosave after each dungeon battle it would provide some fun on long train road trips. :)
Hi, can you provide a love file or exe? The web version hangs on 1/2 and nothing happened after 5 minutes of waiting.
That's unfortunate 🤔
The .love file should be downloadable though below the notes section?
Yes, i see it there but the download button shows a typical window of itch.io and it hangs there. I have no idea why. It is not blocked by browser because i have already downloaded and testet .love files of others. Could you please check this?
Huh, strange. Seems like a hosting issue, I'll need to contact Itch support.
Well, I contacted Itch support, but here's a link to Google drive in case it takes them a while to get it sorted out:

Got it from drive. Thanks for the link.
