I really liked the concept and I think there are some interesting places you can take it, or even have this as a mini-game inside another game. Thanks for your submission :)
I love this concept, reminds me of cozy solitaire board games. I finished all 3 rounds! The art goes well with the theme. The rules are simple to learn, but you definitely need to think a bit at the final level! I love the small thoughtful design elements (e.g. hold to submit to prevent accidental clicks.. the yellow progress marker for forge pressed..)
One comment is perhaps for the Dark Navy token (guardian?), the contrast of the black text on the dark background is not very readable. A white font would be awesome there. I'm also wondering if, once I hit the target score, should the round count as cleared. I reached the target early, and realised i was just going through the tokens left to proceed the round.
But these are just minor suggestions! The game is very solid as is.
It was kind of challenging to understand how the tokens worked, but that's part of the puzzle I guess! Interesting take on the theme, the art looks really nice. Thanks for sharing!
A unique concept. I'm not sure I quite understand fully what I was doing, but I managed to make everyone happy with the rings I made. I really like the art style you used and the music fit in very well.
Real original concept, and well executed! I was a little confused by a few of the mechanics - and it seemed a bit unintuitive at first the concept of having to set each token before dragging another. But overall - really clever game!
This was fun! I feel like it has a lot of potential. The difficulty was a bit low but I feel it could be upped as long as a better tutorial was made first. Also your straight forward art style works well with this kind of game, and I think with the addition of some simple animations, maybe some particle effects, the feel of your game could be even better. Great job!
Very original, five stars for that. I’m guessing the creator of this game is good at thinking up board games and card games too.

Thank you for the kind words. Definitely a lot of board games in my head.
I liked the unique take on the main theme. Good work on the visuals, the way the tokens drop. The tutorial was well done and must have taken some time. I was a little confused with the game play but that didn't stop me from getting through a couple of levels. Nice job.
Definitely should've added some more gameplay explanations in the tutorial - Sorry about that. Thanks for playing!
The game had a good tutorial but still some mechanics were not explained enough. The visuals were good. And was a funny and innovative game overall.
I love games with an original idea. The art-style is also very charming, I love the choices you made with color. One small suggestion I have would be for the forging to happen as soon as the bar is full, not when you stop holding down the mouse button. I think it would improve the game-feel. One thing I also really liked is the small opening animation with the tokens appearing.
Great job overall!
Thank you for the kind words and great advice!
Actually more challenging than I anticipated. Solid puzzle game. Took me a minute to realize you have to use all your tokens before the round ends.
