Well I certainly know which of the two Helter Smelter's submitted is better looking. Absolutely gorgeous art, and fun game!
Small piece of feedback, might be helpful to have a button or station that shows the steps for each item again. Sometimes I would get them mixed up and even if it costs time it would be good to be able to look again

That's so funny that we chose the same name. Our team was actually tracking the work of yours since it seemed very similar early on and we were very pleased with the minigame system you implemented for the anvils, we thought it might be cool to have something similar, but we scrapped it in favor of a more simplistic approach. We're both unique in our own little way.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that it would have a good idea. We were pinched for time but it would probably work very well on the pause menu, so we'll take that into consideration if we work on this any further.
I actually got the idea for the name from a friend of mine, so can't take credit for it haha. I honestly think you made the right call for scrapping the anvil minigame, it fits the way you're juggling the different stations in your game a bit better
And yea, it always comes down to time in game jams, and its not a major issue. But I think your game has real potential, so figured I'd leave a comment in case you all are going to continue developing it
