Fun game! Reminds me a lot of overcooked, would I be correct in guessing that was what you were going for?

I really like the idea of you creating the weapons for the soldiers defending you, and how well you make them making a difference! That's a concept I haven't seen before.

I just wish there would be a way to visually distinguish well-made swords from bad ones. maybe make the good-sword knights more colorful? Idk. 

I tried making the worst swords possible and I still got 1.5 stars twice xdd, but NICE!

Damn this is a REALLY well made game, loved the ebb and flow of the battle and the constant growing tension. My one wish was a button or something that would allow me to stick my head out of the blacksmith and tell the soldiers on my side to maybe try and dodge once in a while :P

Absolutely love this game idea -I'm playing overcooked but with fantasy blacksmithing.  If you take this game further, this would be really good as a full release!

This was a lot of fun! I love the whole game mechanic, took a while to master it, but then it was really satisfying. I could definitely see this as a whole game with way more types of weapons, stations etc. Very solid game for a jam!

I'm a terrible gamer, but I gave it a shot! Love the idea :) I reviewed it on my stream:

Nice intense game with fun gameplay. It can be turned into great game with the idea potential. Also art was really cool

Fun game hard to get going because waves just take out health so quickly if you dont make perfect weapons and the timing of smelting is the second ingot almost gets ruined by the time you make a sword out of the first one maybe changing up the timing just a little bit to get the player some leeway to help out with the first few waves! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I do need to adjust the difficulty!
You can also drop the item you're holding to quickly get the ingot out of the furnace if you're in a hurry!

I like graphics and concept, it's really cool fit in the theme!

Cute graphics and very interesting concept. To balance the game a little bit  i would suggest to lower the enemies attack the rats are beasts hahah. They are very strong right at the beginning.

Cool game cool game. I loved the chill cat blacksmith and the minigames were pretty neat. It would be cool if you could do more things to the sword in the future like kinda build a crew with different specializations

Very cuteeeeeeeeeee, i miss a little strategy or upgrade system, but the game is good

Super fun! Felt like there wasn't quite enough time before the next wave but still really great use of the theme.

Submitted(+1)

wow that’s a very nice game you guys made, and it has controller support! My best was 6 enemies killed and 8 swords made :D

Great game, it quickly becomes a bit repetitive, maybe if there was a way to help your fighters it would feel more active. I very appreciate the different control input!

Submitted(+2)

awesome game, pretty polished for a week game, nice work.  A few upgrades options would be interesting

Submitted(+2)

Such a fun game! It reminds me of Overcooked with the way you have to manage crafting items, but I love the way that it blends in with having to defend your village. Great job! I can definitely see this scaled as a full release, with a co-op/vs mode, more weapons, enemy types, and boss fights.

Submitted(+2)

Well, all I can say is i can see why this game is so high in the popularity ranking now.

Great game! Cute visual and good gameplay) I have an idea to add a restart button if I have a bad attempt. And there are problems in the browser,  mice just ignored my warriors.
