I have good fun playing, but I don't really know what is my objective (apart for getting XP). But it very well executed.

I would love to see something like this inside another video game. A whole new level of crafting!

Great idea, but what is the objective aside from levelling up?

This was sooo fun! There were so many different types of swords to make, great job!

It would have been great, if the swords were used for anything: selling them for money to but better materials, giving them to heroes to slay monsters, having them compared with the swords of your rival,... There's lots of potential in the concept.

Nice! It was definitely interesting to make a sword. Good work. :)

One of the most unique games I've played! It's actually really fun to design swords. If you develop it further, I would love to be able to sell swords and see adventurers use them against monsters.

Gah, was going to say that reverting your last move would've been useful, but it tells you how to do that right there in the info tab :P.

Expected the game to be about making customized swords for different clients, but this is a nice little toy too.

This is a really fun little creation! The generated names are a nice touch, and the visuals and UI are simple but effective. Great work :)

Next door, there is a game Sky Sword about "a young adventurer who accidentally discovered a broken ancient sword". Easy joint venture, I guess. :)

I made a sword that looked more like a llama than a weapon.
It was glorious.

Interesting take on the theme, might need a few more goals to the game though... like maybe show a pick of a sword on the right and try to duplicate it freehand on the left.

Your character always dares to question the absolute mastery of my craft. >:

Good job on making this, and also cool Bézier curves ! I feel some rewards would be welcome though. Like I dunno, trophies, new handles, confettis or something ?

... Or perhaps in a possible sequel, use it to slash nasty villains ? ;)
It is definitely a cool mini-game anyway.

If I turn full screen mode on the font looks very bad. http://popudownloads.com From Iceberg Reader: Devil In My Bed: The Runaway Brides Celeste Bradley St.
