Once I understood the very beginning the rest was smooth and I really like the simple but interesting mechanic of the sword forging, nice job on that!
I did actually attempt to play then immediately skip this specific submission without rating it, at least 3 separate times (if not more), for some reason. Even with the tutorial on itch.io and the controls in-game, for some reason the very beginning was not easy for me to figure out, so I would quit out of the game immediately and go to another submission. Not exactly sure why, since it's so simple, it's just taking the item from the center and bringing it to one of the forges. For some reason, it only happened to me, especially that many times and so early on in the game, for this specific game only and not any other one, which is odd.
However, in case there might be really be something a bit unintuitive you find out later about the very beginning of the game in particular that might explain why this happened, I mention it here in case.
Very nice job on the game!
