Jugales by OrangePop

made by OrangePop for LD35 (JAM)

Jugales (working title) is a game about blacksmithing. Heat the sword in the furnace, straighten it out over the anvil, douse it in the trough and get paid for your hard work. Or bend it to your will and give it your own twist.

Space to pick up/put down the sword,
WASD QE and Middle Mouse to move and rotate the sword,
Left Click to swing the hammer,
Right Click while holding a sword to keep the sword in place,
N to reset sword position.

Best played in fullscreen.

This is our first time as a team working on a game. Glad we were able to get it out.

EDIT: I just made a build for Mac OS/X and Linux, but none of our team has machines to test run them.

Hey that was fun. I got a little lost in the swinging of the hammer and found the game very relaxing.

This was a great concept! One of those ones where you have to say to yourself "why didn't I think of that?" The hammer meter was also great idea. I probably would've just put in a simple binary input, but the meter adds much more to it. Great job!

Relaxing to do but not really deep enough for me to tinker for more than a few swords ;) Would have liked slightly deeper deformation than just up/down but it was a neat idea.

Fantastic! Great take on the theme and really satisfying, almost therapeutic, gameplay. The visuals and sound set the mood perfectly and I passed quite a few happy minutes on this! It would work really nice as a minigame within an rpg, I think. Great work!

Would of been nice if the mouse locked to the window in windowed mode. The visuals and audio were great. Sneaky use of the theme.

Hey sweet...it was a fun time blacksmithing.

At first I heated and hammered a few swords and got 10 gold apiece for some almost flattened out ones.

Then I found out you can pick up the bent as hell swords, heat them up and sell them without hammering once for around 350 something gold apiece...

If only it worked like that in real life lol.

Great entry, I enjoyed everything about it even the exploiting.
