What I loved:

The cute graphics and the idea of a fire elemental creature and the bellows chap - much like a good anime I enjoyed those concepts. I was playing on a Mac btw so those early issues were fixed

What I did not like

The music - sorry!

Really interesting take on the theme with chasing around the fire elementals. Agree with alot of the critical feedback posted here already, but regardless it was a fun time!

Other people have pointed out the flaws already,  but I think if it were polished, it could have been awesome. It's very original! It was nice working with some cute little creatures to forge a sword :)

I think the fundamentals are there, just needed a more clear tutorial (and some button prompts, it took me a second to figure out E: interact)

I got a bit confused because I was trying to place the ingot into the smelter from above and that didn't work, and then ended up throwing it into the trash can (whoops!)

The sharpening mechanic popped up pretty suddenly and I wasn't sure what button to press and lost the sword entirely. I liked how you did the anvil minigame though, that one worked much better.

The game was good but not that innovative. The visuals were good enough, but theain characters having no animation was sad! The music was repetitive. Gameplay was confusing and sometimes I didn't know what I had to do (especially because of the bad implementation of the tutorial). Good job btw!
