Thanks for the submission. I thought the artwork was really great and there was some good polish around picking up multiple items. I also enjoyed the smithing minigame. It was a bit different and I liked that.
I had a hard time understanding the mechanics when playing this game. Even with the tutorial, it took me a long time to realize that I needed to have two sticks to make a sword. Maybe in the tutorial this can be explained a bit? I was also confused as to why I needed to add coal to one stove and then put the metal in a different stove (I did eventually figure it out and make some swords, which was pretty fun). Overall, I think the core game is there, and it's just a matter of making sure that players "get" it from the first glance.
Nice, I like the anvil minigame. Could've done with use and throw being on the right hand, and I had to guess to figure out the sword needs two handles (unless I'm missing something on the recipe?) but no deal-breaker issues. Very original and good fun, well done!.
Cool concept and the art was awesome. I had a bit of trouble remembering the recipes/instructions, I'd have liked to see a way to go back to that screen or have the recipes shown in the main UI. And the timer could have been a bit more generous - fun to play though!
Cool game. I love the sound and the art style. I think it needs some bug squashing though. I found it very hard to deliver an item and sometimes they appeared in the middle of the screen. But it definitely has potential. Great job keep up the good work!
Final Highscore: 1335
Was fun to optimise and try to be most efficient with my time. And very pretty art!
