Very cool idea. The theme is interpreted superbly. It's really funny what you can put together on the blacksmith's table. xD

We really liked the idea of being the knight’s blacksmith and preparing his weapons for battle. The game visuals are very charming. speech bubbles and a few other UI touch ups would be worthy addition. Keep it up!

Needs a bit more work on the UX. Its not really that clear what each part does atm and it would be great if you could see the enemy stats or description while forging the sword. I love the idea though and I think there is a lot of potential for a very fun autobattler with this mechanic. You could even loot some parts from your enemies :) Like the concept!

Really nice concept although it is nor really intuitive on how to assemble the pieces. Would be nice to get some more hints here or an information about the pieces, what they do etc. Bit refinement for the UI and this game can become a really interesting puzzle! Really good work :)

really cool concept!

An interesting idea, but I think it isn't clearly communicated what I'm supposed to do. On my first attempt, I completed the game without losing any hearts by smashing everything together. But on my second attempt, I didn't win a single fight (I tried experimenting a little at first), and I'm not sure why.

Ah yes, my favorite classic medieval weapon, a morningstardaggeraxesword 😂

Concept and vibe is cool, any plans on developing it further?

Nice concept and the art was very cute too! Maybe it would be nice to add some more negative effects to tiles, so you don't just try to slap on everything you can? As some other commenters said, it would have been nice to have some more feedback on what each stat does, as I was little confused. But still overall a very cute game!

A nice little game! I liked the gameplay and cute characters. Also the process of forging feels nice :)

The only things I'd love to have is some more guidance on how parameters work, so that my work wasn't so random :D I also thought at first that I could only create a properly looking sword, but later it turned out that I could play the game like Tetris sometimes. And it would be very helpful to see the current request of the knight while you are actually forging!

A good game overall :)

Fresh and interesting concept! Excited to see how it develops!

The implementation of the theme is a really cool idea, I also love the art style

Very cool idea! Guessing the right values is quite tough :D

Super interesting concept! I like the idea that I am just assisting the main character

Nice idea and executed very well. Pretty clean and fun :))

I outlived the soundtrack haha.

Very nice and small game. Took me a few rounds to understand what I was supposed to do but in the end enjoyed it. I wish I could exchange the base parts of the sword.

very nice game idea, although i was a bit confused how exactly the different parts affected the overall stats of the sword and what rule it followed but visually very nice to look at and still a lot of fun ^^
