How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The game follows the tales of explorers seeking riches at the end of a cursed dungeon. While you alone may not be strong enough to conquer the dungeon's challenges, the remnants of armaments left behind by these long-gone explorers will come to your aid in this conquest.

The theme of old gold is also present in the game's smithing system. Strong relics you find within the dungeon are carried on through the Smith's lineage, allowing you to access items that you were previously unable to obtain.

I made armor and a hammer and somehow I only had one attack ever during the first so I just slowly died and could do anything. I think the concept is really good on paper, right now I just couldn't really start a run. Maybe a guided tutorial could help guarantee at least a first run starts off with a chance.

Tehnically it's really solid otherwise

Heyo thanks for checking out the game! 
I'll have a tutorial up on the page as soon as possible to better the experience. We unfortunately ran outta time to explain a lot of these mechanics in game, so yep a tutorial should work.

As for the problem you ran into, you should be able to access the storage at the start of a run where you'll find a bunch of gold ingots. These can be used to craft a weapon of choice which will significantly increase your damage output :)

I did craft a hammer, or maybe a hammer wasn't a weapon ? but somehow I only had one 'attack bar' on that hammer run, and when I tried again, I got many more (without weapons smithed), so dunno exactly what happened

I tried again, I confirm there's a bug on the hammer where the attack bar disappears right after it appears. The sword works fine though

Ah, I see what you've run into. I'll elaborate on this on the tutorial page, but the way combat in the game works is that each weapon has a certain attack pattern. Hammers have the slowest pattern but deal the most damage per hit.

And for the second part, missing an attack or a parry will break all the notes currently on your attack screen, essentially rendering you unable to attack for a bit.

There's a lotta visual cues and flavor text we wanted to add to explain these, but unfortunately we ran outta time.</3
Again tysm for the feedback, it helps a lot!

aaa I get it ! ok it makes sense now wait let me try again, I tried it without ever parrying (and I think I wasn't the only one) so now I get it

The visuals and music were nice, and I like the concept. I think the balance of the game is a bit off though, as it seems impossible to beat the first enemy without smithing anything, meaning that you are pretty much softlocked if you run out of gold ingots. It was also not super obvious I had to move items from my inventory to use them in crafting, I think they should just be available wherever they are.

Still I think you did a good job with everything else.

Thanks for the advice! There are a lotta things we didn't get to implement as intended, but we're definitely gonna polish them up the moment the Jam's done.
