The weapon crafting mechanic really had me enticed for ages to try out different combinations. At one point I wasn't worried about killing things, was just trying to make cool looking weapons. Very well done!

Nice idea, it's hard to understand what effect the different sword parts have though.

Also, I think I triggered a bug at one point: The blue ogre got caught in a loop and just whacked me over and over even after I had no HP left...

@Gaeel Did this happen after you created a fairly long weapon? I could see the game judging you too slow to move for a long time, so that might've caused the bug.

@all, thanks for the feedback!

This is a pretty neat concept, +1 for libgdx also. The pixel art when the character appears and disappears is pretty great too.

Great entry! It's a very original idea, and it's fun to make and try lots of different combinations. I really like the music, as well!

At first I was actually thinking on doing something along these lines. Nice to see it greatly executed :)

Very interesting and original idea! I also hit the issue where I got whacked over and over by the ogre -- and yeah, it was right after I made a very long weapon. Some more prompts about the weapon parts would be really helpful.

That was pretty cool. Like everyone else was saying I spent quite a lot of time trying out all the different combinations. Awesome idea :)

Innovative idea! It was very interesting experimenting with different combinations of the weapon (and seeing the changes graphically is a really neat concept).

8===D would be a weapon of choice :)
Visuals are hm... not AAA but the idea was fun :)

Love the idea of this game! I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3cEj0moqZLI
