Took me a while to understand how the game works, but once i got it i was hooked. Finding different rune combos to get higher and higher scores is very fun and addicting. The artwork is gorgeous i like the colour palette used here i think it adds a lot to the overall vibe of the game. My only complaint is that the UI is kinda confusing and awkward at times. I have no idea what the symbols on the top left mean which caused me to accidentally restart the game and lose all my progress.

This game definitely needs more attention its definitely one of the better games i played in this jam. Well done!

I managed 895 on my best loop by getting rich af and using the runes that gives score based on your gold + the runes that double tempers. Very impressive game with highly intricate mechanics, even outside a game jam tbh. This is one of my favorites so far out of all the games I've tested. I have little to criticize except minor things: the buttons could have hover feed and be pressable everywhere, not just the small circle. I am also not quite sure what exactly crumbling is, my crumbled runes seem to have worked just fine? 

Anyways, there's big potential here with all kinds of insane synergies between runes.

Super fun, I am surprised you managed to make all this in the time! The buttons were a little strange and took me a small while to figure out what to click haha. I was also unsure what tempering actually was. The game seems polished and well balanced, and the additional bonus effects on runes are awesome. Very good game you made here!

Actually insane game.  Very satisfying to play. The only thing that was weird is that sometimes while dragging an object over another (without dropping it) the objects would swap positions.

You actually could make a "whole" game out of it. 

Isa + Hagalagz was a pretty awesome combo. I keep buying the cheap runes for 2, immediately selling and doing a reroll to get more cheap runes. That was able to power up my Hags to insane levels pretty quickly and then Isa just combos in insane ways.

I wasn’t ever able to go beyond just two runes in my forge circle though. I’m not quite sure what I was doing wrong there? Any tip you may have had on what I missed would be appreciated.

One point of feedback, the button’s small circle was just too small and i didn’t even realize that was the actual button into I accidentally clicked on it. It would be a lot easier for people to make the whole block, including the text, clickable.

Loved the artwork and the thoughts put into the different runes. Really cool concept!

Positive: Cool game, made me take a deep breath to take a moment to think. I liked the roguelike, and there were definitely builds you could make. Very nice work with the design.

Negative: At first, I didn’t understand where the buttons were, and the UI didn’t feel very fluid. The runs kept changing places when I didn’t want them to. The audio was a bit repetitive.

Nice game! I've had the idea of a rune-circle type game before, but not known how it could work, and I think it was pretty genius making it balatro-like. I like the art direction too, and it feels like you studied mythology to get the runes right. If I had a nitpick it would be that it wasn't immediatly clear 'tempering' reffered to the hammer. Maybe the loop could light up as energy went through it and activated the runes or something? I felt like there were more runes that relied on being tempered than runes that tempered, although the runes still have good synergy. I think this was a well executed cool idea for a game, good luck in the jam!
