Fun game! Very neat and charming presentation, cool soundtrack, and the challenges are a nice addition. I'm not too familiar with this type of game, but at least for me it was quite a task for my clicker finger to get to the second upgrade, let alone the third. So I played it mostly idle after that. Still enjoyed it though, nice job!

This was pretty neat. I'm not typically into the genre but the music and presentation were well done. I would have preferred if the upgrades would have an effect on the challenges as it would enhance their appeal.

GWJ#68 - REPLACEMENT CLAIMTypically don't play alot of clicker games, but your use of graphics and sound were still able to create an engaging experience. Really well done!

Helter SmelterI know this is a Clicker game, but with only clicking and no aim close enough to encourage clicking, this process becomes boring and repetitive. The game's minimalistic design was good and the effects were funny!

4-ge π-ratesI played until my clicking finger got tired! Good work on the sound and art as well.

The ZummoningWelp, I’m all clicked out. Beat it then kept going for a minute. Clicker genre is such a fun one, I love these types of games. The music and sfx went really well with the theme. Art was great! Nicely done overall.

Survive The MinesGreat art, sfx , and music! Clicker games are not my favorites but you made a fun one here. Great execution of the theme! Well done.

Fuel and ForgeGood clicker game, I liked the music and visuals tweaks (swords falling behind, hammers moving at the bottom...), pixel art is good too. As addictive as I feared it would be before playing so really good job !

Travelling BlacksmithHey, I hate you for making me play this. I can't stand the cookie-clicker genre, and for some reason I still felt driven to see this all the way through. I won't beat around the bush: I had fun. I didn't want to, I feel dirty for admitting it, but I just let this mindless wonder occupy far too much of my time. Well done all around. Good sound, good visuals, and somehow satisfying gameplay tied together. Thanks for the game, I have no complaints!

Outpost 211Neat game! I loved the challenge concept. Really nice iteration on the idle clicker genre that I think added a lot of interest and made the game feel much more rewarding. I loved the music and I thought it was really appropriate for the game. It would have been nice if there was a way for me to control the game's volume as it was quite loud when I first opened it. I love how you tied into the theme!
Great Job!

The Forge on CeresHilarious! This was so well put together I found myself smiling at the concept as I bashed my finger into the trackpad... actually that was the only thing that stopped me playing - clicker games on a Mac trackpad that doesn't have a physical button are... hard. The haptics did a decent job but they aren't ready for this level of gameplay! Maybe an option to swap to use a keyboard key instead perhaps?
Anyway, an incredibly strong 1st GWJ entry!

MastersmithThank you! Glad you enjoyed the concept. I also noticed some issues with the trackpad in my laptop, if i woul've seen it before I would've definitely fixed it, I think it's just a matter of using the right button signal. Also thank you for the tip, wanted to submit an HTML version but was super burned out in the end so I didn't look into how to do that.
Nice idle clicker game! Music was apt, creating an atmosphere of tension with work to do. The hammer sound and graphics were satisfying. The challenges are a nice touch, makes you think whether you're ready for an upgrade or not, as opposed to simply buying something. Overall well done.

Path ForgeI love the cookie clicker concept, progression is good, simple and intuitive. I would allow for some changes in audio since the music is super loud. Also thought you should know there’s some issues with changing the size of the window. If the music was a bit more calm this would be incredibly addictive.

War MartThank you! If you are saying there are some issues with the fullscreen, I noticed them but didn't have the time to fix them, if you mean something else I'm open to hear about it. And yes I also noticed the music was super loud for other people and I don't know why this keeps happening with every game I make lol. Glad you think the progression is good! I was worried about that part a lot
Great submission! The challenges have the right difficulty and the level progression is at the right point. I was my first ever experience playing something like this and it was really good. Congratulations!
